Catholic leader congratulates Keir Starmer for becoming new British Prime Minister
(Charles Collins. Crux Now).
New British Prime Minister Keir Starmers previous comments about wanting a government which works with churches and faith communities have been “most welcome” by Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the President of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. Starmer heads the Labour Party, which won a landslide general election victory on July 4, defeating the Conservative Party, which led the country for the past 14 years. Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak accepted his defeat in a speech in Downing Street in London on Friday morning. “I have heard your anger, disappointment and I take responsibility for this loss,” he said.
