Rupert Murdoch's Sun Endorses Keir Starmer and Labour Party for First Time Since 2005
Jul 3, 2024, 02:18 PM
Rupert Murdoch’s Sun newspaper has officially endorsed Keir Starmer and the Labour Party, marking the first time it has backed Labour since 2005. This endorsement comes just hours before the polls open for the UK general election. The Sun's support is seen as significant due to its history of backing winning prime ministers. The newspaper praised Starmer for dragging his party back to the centre ground of British politics, a position last occupied by Labour under Tony Blair. The endorsement is seen as a blow to the Conservative Party and its leader, Rishi Sunak, whom The Sun described as tired. Despite this, Starmer faces challenges with a disillusioned electorate and low approval ratings.
