Made in Leeds: Keir Starmer discusses his time at university

[@Josh2312-v5n]

He is highly educated, but he is down to Earth...I live in Germany, born here, by a british Mum and my beloved British Grandfather, died in August 23, 95 years of age and I became british 2012 in the Embassy in Düsseldorf, because I adored the Queen and wanted to say, My Queen...so I wish Keir just all the Best and Uk allot of Wealth

[@HarryBower-jp4xh]

As a Leeds alumnus, I will be enormously proud when Keir Starmer becomes the first Prime Minister who graduated from an English university other than Oxford or Cambridge.

[@carolewynn9407]

Perhaps he'll know what a woman is by then.

[@NittyLittyNiturzion]

well keir starmer did postgraduate studies at oxford. also, former prime minister john major does not have a university degree

[@HarryBower-jp4xh]

@@NittyLittyNiturzion Winston Churchill and Jim Callaghan also didn’t have degrees. The point is that Keir is the first PM who is a graduate from an English university other than Oxford or Cambridge and that is LEEDS.

From the hallways of the University of Leeds to the pinnacle of leadership, the remarkable journey of Keir Starmer, now the British Prime Minister, underscores the transformative impact of education and the diverse paths it can forge. It's a powerful testament to the enduring influence of this institution in shaping leaders who navigate the complexities of our world with purpose and resilience. As a proud graduate with a Masters Degree from the University of Leeds, I resonate deeply with the legacy of excellence and leadership that emanates from this renowned institution.

I loved nightstops in Leeds in later years, and always visited the music shop on the Headrow. I loved to go to the University second hand bookshop and even found the bound copies of final year projects extended summaries, from 25 years years previously at Lougaborough. After being rubbished as a coincidence, in front of the whole course at a review, I proved from first principles that the Southwell Plot applied to structures not only weak in bending but also weak in shear. Just seeing the names of my whole year in the copies, was worth it. Great interview….I have a great photo of my Dad wearing my gown ( hired ) posing for his workmates.

Starmer's father was a toolmaker apparently..that fact is genuine judging by the result..

[@skippyripley1239]

Classic true statement..👍

[@carolewynn9407]

His father owned the factory, Starmer also went to a fee paying grammar school, ( it became a state school a few years after he'd left ). Typical working class 😂😂

The other way around - it became fee paying after he left

He’s about as charismatic as a whelp. What’s the bet they had to submit the questions a few weeks before the interview so that he could be prepped.. everyone knows he has media training and personality coaching 😂😂

They pour out long before he opens it.

[@catherinemartin6258]

Bloody Tory’s ⬆️

[@inside-left]

The big question is. Is he about to scrap tuition fees so others can enjoy a higher education that he enjoyed because if not he is just waltzing about in front of camera's in a meaningless stunt. It's almost as though he's bragging that he had a higher education but doing nothing for those who don't have the funds.

[@witlesswonderthe2nd883]

@inside-left not a chance that he’ll get rid of his buddy Blair’s policy, uni makes far too much money from it and especially from overseas stiudents. He’s full of hot air and it’s going to get a lot worse as politicians are not fit enough to be in charge of walking a dog.

[@carolynbutot17]

Very best wishes. Great interview - used to work at the U of love - loved it too.

[@michaeloconnor9465]

I loved the Nick farrie video, and he asked starmer what is working class was, and starmer didn't have a clue.

[@LMJ0777]

He's so down to earth; he hasn't lost touch with his humble background. I hope he'll take the UK to another level. Good luck to him.

[@stayhappybetrue]
