Newscast · The Keir Starmer Resignation Interview · 4 Jul 2026 podcast

I was in Downing Street interviewing the Prime Minister.

Now, that's always fascinating, always, frankly, a privilege.

But what was especially fascinating on this occasion is that it's the first time Keir Starmer has given an interview since he announced a couple of weeks ago that he was resigning.

And he wanted to be pretty open about...

the decision to resign the environment in which he took it but also he wanted to start framing what he sees as his legacy not just in two pretty short years as prime minister but also in his six years as leader of the labour party i think you can hear

from the interview we did in his study, by the way, which is not usually where he does these things, that he's a bit more relaxed, demob relaxed, perhaps.

Not quite demob happy, I think.

Perhaps he's still in quite an early stage of processing the reality of what has happened to him in such a short period of time.

It's a slightly different tone, perhaps, to some interviews with prime ministers.

But I'm really fascinated to know what you think.

I'll be back later with a normal episode of Weekend Newscast with Laura and Paddy, where we'll chat it through.

But for the moment, here's the full interview with me and the Prime Minister, as he still just about is Sir Keir Starmer.

Prime Minister, it's your second anniversary in the job this weekend.

you're not going to have a third anniversary.

When you think back to walking up that street as Prime Minister for the first time, is it a sweet memory or is it bittersweet?

And do you see as part of your legacy as you leave office, or leave two offices I should say, as leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister, to what extent do you see your leadership of the Labour Party as core to your legacy?

So you're clear you've been a success as Labour leader.

Have you been a success as Prime Minister?

But it must make it extra...

confusing for you even, that your colleagues have said, thanks, but no more?
