苏纳克承认败选！英国迎8年间第6任首相

4月前

当地时间7月5日，根据计票结果，英国执政党保守党遭遇滑铁卢，反对党工党在议会下院选举中赢得超过半数席位，获得选举胜利。

5日凌晨，英国首相苏纳克祝贺工党获得议会下院选举胜利，并表示对败选负责。

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Friday conceded defeat in the general election as the ruling Conservative Party suffered massive losses.

"The Labour Party has won this general election, and I've called Sir Keir Starmer to congratulate him on his victory," Sunak said.

"The British people have delivered a sobering verdict tonight, there is much to learn...and I take responsibility for the loss," he said.

工党党首基尔·斯塔默将出任新一任英国首相并组建政府，这是英国在8年间迎来的第6任首相。

基尔·斯塔默：

普通家庭出身的新首相

基尔·斯塔默2015年踏入政坛，2020年担任党首。

选举期间，斯塔默喜欢强调自己出身和资历的平常，而这与身为高盛前分析师、富豪女婿的苏纳克形成鲜明对比。

基尔·斯塔默，1962年9月出生于英国伦敦南部地区，来自一个支持工党的工人阶级家庭，父亲是一名工匠，母亲是一名护士。

Starmer grew up in a small town in Surrey, just outside London. His mother worked for the National Health Service, Britain's free public health care system, and his father was a toolmaker — a fact that Starmer repeated so often during the election campaign that it became a meme.

18岁时，斯塔默进入利兹大学学习法律，他是家里第一个上大学的人。他在牛津大学获得研究生学历。

1987年，斯塔默正式成为一名大律师，专攻人权法，并逐渐在法律界声名鹊起。担任律师期间，他遇到了妻子维多利亚，两人于2007年结婚。

2008年至2013年期间，斯塔默担任英国皇家检察署总检察长。

2014年，因他在司法方面的贡献被封为爵士，从那时起他的名字前可冠以“Sir”的尊称。

2015年，斯塔默首次当选英国议会下院议员，就此踏入政坛。

Starmer was the first member of his family to go to university, after which he helped run a left-wing magazine called Socialist Alternatives. He then became a lawyer, rising up the ranks to become the head of public prosecutions in 2008, running the British government's Crown Prosecution Service. He received his knighthood in 2014, the year before he turned to politics.

在工党前领袖杰里米·科尔宾的领导下，他连续4年担任影子“脱欧”事务大臣。2020年4月，斯塔默参加竞选并当选为工党领袖，取代了自2015年以来一直领导该党的科尔宾。
