PM calls wife ‘absolute rock’ before Commons vote on Mandelson row | News

Sir Keir Starmer described his wife Victoria as a “total rock” and said she encouraged him to continue as prime minister despite mounting criticism.

The Prime Minister faces a House of Commons vote on Tuesday, April 28, which could trigger an investigation into claims he misled MPs over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.

Appearing on the Cathy Newman Show on Sky News on Monday (April 27), Sir Keir said: “He’s an absolute rock star and I always trust him and his is the best advice and I’m grateful to have him every day.”

Ms Newman asked: “So is he now advising you to move on?”

He replied: “It is, yes. We talk about everything in detail.”
