Starmer faces scrutiny over claims of ignorance in leadership roles

Sir Keir Starmer has faced criticism for being unaware of key issues in organizations he leads. As director of public prosecutions, he claimed he was not informed about significant cases, including the wrongful conviction of Andrew Malkinson. This pattern continued in politics, where Starmer appointed Transport Secretary Louise Haigh, who allegedly did not disclose important information about her past. Starmer has stated he cannot be held responsible for what happens in his organizations due to a lack of information. Despite these claims, Starmer has taken credit for major legal successes in his career. Critics suggest that his repeated ignorance of scandals raises questions about his attentiveness and leadership.
