Despite much speculation, Starmer decided against running for the Labour Party leadership in 2015, stating his lack of experience as the reason. Instead, he took on the position of shadow home secretary during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership. However, due to dissatisfaction with Corbyn’s approach to Brexit-related matters, Starmer, along with several other shadow ministers, chose to step down from his position in June 2016.

Despite stepping down, Starmer played a vital role within the Labour Party. After Corbyn stepped down as party leader in the wake of the 2019 general election loss, Starmer declared his intention to run for the leadership position in January 2020. His win in the leadership election on April 4, 2020, marked the beginning of a fresh era for the Labour Party with him at the helm.
