About this listen

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has told ITV News his government has restored respect to politics since coming into power.

When he came into Downing Street in July 2024, Starmer promised to "restore honesty and integrity to government”.

However, since then, it's fair to say it's been a stormy ride for him and the Labour Party.

Shortly after becoming prime minister, he attracted attention for the scale of the gifts he had been receiving, and more recently in September his deputy Angela Rayner resigned after breaking the ministerial code.

When asked if he could "hand on heart" say that his government had restored respect to politics, Starmer answered, "yes".
