Labour MPs urge Starmer to ‘get out there’ with Trump-style media strategy

Some in his party argue the prime minister's cautious approach is out of step with modern politics

Senior Labour figures are urging Keir Starmer to take a leaf out of Donald Trump's book and make more frequent media appearances in an attempt to dominate the political agenda as the US president does.

MPs told the Guardian they want the prime minister to act more like Trump, who has upended political convention by televising large parts of his cabinet, holding long bilateral meetings on camera and calling in to live television shows.
