The Labour leader says that next person to play 007 should be a woman

The next James Bond movie should feature a female 007, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has suggested.

Daniel Craig made his last appearance as the super spy with a licence to kill in No Time To Die, which received its world premiere in London this week.


His departure from the long-running franchise has prompted intense speculation as to who his successor might be.

Asked on ITV’s Good Morning Britain who was his favourite Bond actor, Sir Keir said: “I don’t have a favourite Bond but I do think it is time for a female Bond.”
