Keir Starmer has said that he is going to have to make tough decisions and "make them early" in his first news conference as UK prime minister.

He said that prisons are an obvious example of an issue that needs to be addressed, "where other parts of the system are broken".

On Saturday he chaired a cabinet meeting for the first time in Downing Street in which he said a "huge amount of work" was under way.

  1. I didn’t vote for Labour, but I’m nonetheless relieved that the UK turned the page on populism. “Boring” grown up politics is what we’ve needed so badly.

  2. People complaining that he’s too dull and boring. A charismatic politician is the last thing this country need. We’ve had enough of the toxic spectacle and entertainment. This is exactly what we need, a boring government, no showmanship just doing the job exactly as it needs to.

  3. starmer doesn’t have the same charisma as other politicians, and his speeches aren’t going to dazzle anyone, but he is a man who started from the bottom and worked hard to reach the top. we may be pleasantly surprised by his achievements as PM over the next 5 years.

    • lol, “loves this country and it’s people”…. he’s Blairs student…. he’ll sell out the UK to the WEF / EU and hates the UK (loves HIS rich friends)… The UK will be renamed WEF /EU puppet state 28… the Affluent fake left & indolent will win, the workers will be taxed!

    • How can you love a country when your prepared to let thousands of illegal migrants onto this island at the expense of the Inhabitants… at least some of guys have someone to serve your tofu frappes at pret a manger for minimal wage

    • @@an-albumhole4400to be fair you need at lay at least some, if not 2/3 of the blame on the people that crashed the world economy, Brown really didn’t have a lot of choice in what he did, and equally it can be argued neither did Cameron/Osbourne with regards austerity (although the extent and proportionality of it can be) as they had to react to that action. Roles reversed the same or at least very similar chain of events would have happened. Or the country would have imploded with loss of homes, business, pensions, savings… i’m no huge supporter of either and am sometimes swing right/left centrist with my views.

    • And what Do you think labour will do over the next 4 years. Nothing. They will blame the next 4 years on tories knowing that will be an escape goat. ​@darkcenturion5735

  4. Really impressed with this, clear concise delivery, no BS, focused on action, maturity and leadership. Country first, government as a service, all positive.
