    Alright Kier all sounds okay, I didn't vote labour but I would love if you were able to earn my trust. Please go like a week without a political scandal, that'll be miles better than the last 5 years
  • Good luck Sir Keir. A period free of political showmanship, hatred, stupid 3-word slogans and naked corruption is just what we need. Perhaps in this respect we can lead the world once more.

    There is no trust, you have to earn it PM.
  • We’ve have had 14 years of Tory chaos with 5 changes of leadership and multiple scandals. They pushed for austerity in the name of securing the economy which all amounted to nothing because of Brexit & Liz Truss. Change will take time to recover from the damage. I hope this labour government will be sensible and boring. No scandals, no gambles with the economy and will slowly help the areas that are in dire need like the NHS.
  • He will bring the stability needed after 14 years of being a total laughing stock. The future is looking up. Wish him well.
  • Congratulations for smooth elections, victory and defeat well appreciated. Thank you UK.

    My question to Starmer is; what are affordable homes? In my area the houses they call affordable are 200k+. How is that affordable?
  • I am self employed, had to have an operation, recovery was over 2 weeks, no support from universal credit, because I am self employed, how is this justified, had to borrow from family an friends, just want no one else to go through such tough recovery,

    It’s been 14 hard years. I cant even bring myself to be as enthusiastic about the Tories leaving as I would be. Decent speech though. At least he knows this has been hard for the public. Let’s just hope his party does the right thing for us. The public are done waiting. This is your one chance, Keir.

  • Damming with faint praise , the only good thing about Sunak was his colour and religion.

    Thank God this is the end to clown leaders which we had for the last 10 years this guy also has issues but he is not a clown

    They have a true majority, so if they don't deliver they can't blame anyone but themselves.
