Starmer's been a party leader for 2132 days. He'll overtake Farage's 2010-16 UKIP term in ten days (assuming good health and no replacement that quickly). If Swinney outlasts him by at least six weeks, his first and second terms combined will have been longer than Starmer's.
Keir Starmer needs another 44 days to overtake Rishi Sunak’s stay as PM
Davey's either 145 days behind or started before him, depending on if you count acting leader from Swinson's defeat.
(If Swinson and Davey had both lost their seats, would Pack have been acting leader alone?)
