(Reuters) – British Labour Party’s Keir Starmer is “seriously considering” running to succeed Jeremy Corbyn as the party’s leader, the Guardian reported bit.ly/2M8B1cS on Tuesday.
The news comes days after Corbyn said he was prepared to remain leader until the party chooses a successor next year, after the party suffered its worst election result since 1935.
