Keir Starmer: "Boring" Labour Leader Becomes UK's new Prime Minister | Vantage with Palki Sharma
At the age 61, Keir Starmer is the oldest person to become UK's new Prime Minister in almost half a century, but was only elected to parliament nine years ago. The married father-of-two is unlike most modern politicians: he had a long and distinguished career before becoming an MP and his views are rooted in pragmatism rather than ideology. Starmer heralded an era of change, moving the Labour party back to the more electable centre ground and leading it to its win in the elections. Palki Sharma tells you more about UK's new Prime Minister.

After her sweeping victory in France's Presidential elections Marine Le Pen went to meet with Lebanon's Grandi Mufti to discuss French Muslim relations. As a woman he demanded she wear a headscarf/hijab. She refused & canceled the meeting “I will not wear a veil/hijab, you can pass on my message to Grand Mufti.” said Marine Le Pen.

Fair assessment of PM Starmer. One slight correction. He said that he has always tried to carve out a time from his work schedule for his family on Friday evenings. With very few exceptions for over 20 years. Rishi Sunak mocked him for working 4 days per week. Which more or less sums up the clown show of a Government Mr Sunak lead. The Irony is that the rumour is that he scrapped Mr Sunak's Rwanda Plan late on Friday evening. Well after 6pm.

He said he is from working class but say thank you to the woman who opened the car door while enroute to meet the king . See his cabinet, all inborn british , except lammy, Mohammad ( sorry couldn't get lady name) . The Tory party knew the results before since liz resigned . They wanted a scapegoat which Mr.sunak gave in . The failures of camaroon ,May and liz put the onus on sunak . Iam not talking of individuals but the british parties . Now they are moving ultra right , kramer being a bridge for that . One way they blame Islamists on the streets and other way they pose to safeguard their rights .
