Sir Keir Starmer Opens Up About Mother's Death from Rare Disease

Sir Keir Starmer has spoken emotionally about the death of his mother from a rare disease, revealing he wishes he could have told her he loved her before she passed away.

The Labour leader appeared on ITV's Piers Morgan's Life Stories, where he discussed his mother's battle with Still's Disease, a rare form of inflammatory arthritis that causes fevers, rash and joint pain.

He described how the disease eventually left her unable to walk or eat, and expressed regret that he did not have the chance to say goodbye properly.
