Sir Keir Starmer has said he is hoping for peace in the Middle East in his first Christmas message as Prime Minister.
The Labour leader also said he was looking towards a 'brighter future' after a turbulent start to his time in power that has seen riots after the Southport murders, a flatlining economy and a backlash to his Government's first Budget.
He will enjoy his first holiday since the July election, spending Christmas at the PM's official country residence of Chequers, before going abroad with his wife and two children over New Year.
It comes after allies of his told The Mail on Sunday that he 'badly needs a holiday' owing to the 'relentless strain' of the job.
Sir Keir, the first openly atheist PM, said last night: 'As Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Christmas story reminds all of us to reach out to one another. To care for one another.
'This Christmas, I will be hoping for peace, particularly in the Middle East as the birthplace of the Christmas story.
'I'll be looking towards a better, brighter future for every person and celebrating the joy and wonder that Christmas brings.'
He singled out for thanks those in the NHS, emergency services, Armed Forces and charities who will spend the season serving others.

Mr. Starmer had better concentrate on peace in the UK, expel radical Jihadists and get the economy back on track. If he wants to help the Middle East, expel your illegals ASAP before it is too late.
