Keir Starmer, leader of the UK Labour Party, has publicly stated that he identifies as a socialist, emphasizing that he prioritizes the country over the party. This declaration comes amid claims that he lacks energy for the election campaign, which he has firmly rejected. In contrast, Rachel Reeves, a prominent member of Starmer's team, has distanced herself from the socialist label, describing herself as a social democrat. Reeves has emphasized that the Labour Party is both pro-business and pro-worker, and that she is not fixated on labels. Jonathan Reynolds, another key member of Starmer's team, describes himself as a Christian Socialist.
