OUSTED Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has signed to a high-profile talent agency.

He has been taken on by M+C Saatchi Talent which represents celebrities such as Freddie Flintoff and Josie Gibson.

Last week Sir Keir announced he would step down as the MP for Holborn and St Pancras after 11 years. He resigned as PM in July.

He said he would be focusing on international affairs and combating violence against women and girls.

The celeb agency is not so well known for its political names, as showbiz stars — but does represent ex-Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell.

Sources said Sir Keir would be lined up with high-profile speaking roles and major corporate events rather than reality TV jobs such as I’m A Celebrity.

The PR signing could see Sir Keir become the latest ex-PM to cash in on lucrative speaking engagements.
