Sir Keir Starmer suggested he would have served in Jeremy Corbyn’s Cabinet if Labour had won the 2019 general election.
The Labour leader was asked repeatedly this morning during a phone-in on LBC if he would have served in an administration led by Mr Corbyn and he initially dismissed the questions as “hypothetical”.
He said that “it didn’t cross my mind because I didn’t think we would win” and “I don’t think anybody thought we were going to win”.
Sir Keir was later asked if he would have followed Mr Corbyn into government and he replied: “It is hypothetical... if we had got it over the line there were important things that I thought needed to be done from the frontbench, to continue and complete on the Brexit work, to make it absolutely clear that the Labour Party never deviated from our position on Nato and to do the necessary work on anti-Semitism.
“But as we went into that 2019 election I genuinely did not think, and I wasn’t alone in this, that Labour would win that election.”
