ACTRESS Suranne Jones has said she wouldn't want Keir Starmer’s job for real after portraying a prime minister in her new Netflix show Hostage.

The 46-year-old actress, from Oldham, told reporters at the premiere of the new series: “A woman, before she’s even put on her very high, hurty shoes, she has a lot of baggage and a lot of things that she is carrying: the way she looks, the way she dresses, the way she's been educated.

“All of those things. How she behaves with her family or her background, everything, before she starts to go out into the world and getting judged for it.
