History will be your judge Sir Keir 👍🏾

[@JuiceMyRandomness]

I truly hope that he helps the country. I really do.

Highly doubt it ...this dude sounds so uneducated

[@Urslo]

I just looked it up are really 1 in 3 people in the UK hearing impaired?

[@rowan6207]

No

[@ThrillOfTheFight]

Probably 1 in 3 claim they are for benefits lol

[@fbtdcfbygb1385]

What?

[@Miller4866]

At least Keir Starmer was voted in by the people, unlike the last one.

[@teamdukki1629]

not how the parliamentary system works mate, us the people vote in a political party not a person and whoever is the leader of that party becomes prime minister

[@Miller4866]

@teamdukki1629 Do you think I don't know that for gods sake 😂

​@@Miller4866your original comment suggests complete cluelessness.

[@18yearsoldnot]

How about the last THREE. Boris and Theresa don’t count because Brexit split the Conservative Party in two so it had no clear direction anymore

[@Ticktopapi]

Unbelievable, I think thst I voted last night to the right person to defend this country, thank you for your good thoughts ,I’m sure you can deliver it

[@strll3048]

I really appreciate the respectful way in which PM Starmer treated his departing opponent. I hope that he will be able back these promises with actions, though. My impression is that he intends to. However there is a serious uphill struggle ahead. All the very best!!!

[@dbz9393]

I cant believe have been living through this hell especially the past couple years and still give starmer shit. He might not be exciting but he wants the nation to succeed

[@DS76204]

No he just wants power like the rest of them. He will fail like the rest of them too, mired in sleaze in a decades time.

[@ceejay0137]

It was a good speech. Let's hope he can deliver on it.

[@kellyosborne7571]

I wholeheartedly agree. I am a lifelong Labour voter, however Kier Starmer is the first Labour PM I can remember that seems like a decent guy. I'm a Durham Miner's granddaughter and I couldn't, in good conscious, vote anything but Labour, but Starmer seems like he WANTS to make a difference, for everyone.

[@Titanic385]

Who will be the Mayor of London? Will it still be Sadiq Khan?

[@OfficialUKGov]

he was elected already, so yes

[@jakelister5152]

Did you miss the elections over a month back

[@markatherstone5650]

As a lifetime Tory turned Reform voter, I'm willing to give Starmer a chance. I've never liked him, I understand that change won't happen over night, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see if he can turn the country around!

[@hectorr6299]

Sir Keir Starmer please make Arsenal Great Again!!!

[@bowlampar]

Sir Keir Starmer🥳🥳: " First of all, i want to thank all Conservative Party leaders making this historic day in British politic from the bottom of my heart, i stand ready to accept this' landslide victory' verdict coming from British people on behalf of Labor Party, 'Change' is coming . "

[@John-hk8ek]

Why do people continue to vote for party's that are going change nothing

[@mscd6174]

Perhaps you should stand as an independent. Too many people just sit and grumble without putting themselves forward to do it themselves

[@eriktopolsky8531]

Sign language guy deserves a role in comedy movie

[@Ian-dl2vz]

I’m more focus on the guy doing tiktok 🤣

[@Shakeel.Irshad]

It's beauty of real democracy how gracefully people in power leave the office. It's very rare in our country or region. Here they acknowledge the efforts of previous and receive best wishes from them. Love Britain ❤

[@mscd6174]

I too love this. I’m very proud at this moment. Such dignity which has been so sadly lacking.
