Keir Starmer: The Reality Of Life As Leader Of The Opposition
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 тра 2024
- Keir Starmer is the current Leader of the Labour Party, previously working as a barrister until he became an MP in 2015.
A self-described “undersharer”, Keir takes this opportunity with Jake and Damian to open up about his childhood, his leadership style and what it’s really like to be the Leader of the Opposition. As a big football fan, Keir shares what he has learnt from watching Arsenal play and why he has developed such a love for the game.
Discussing his career as a barrister, Keir shares his difficult experiences representing people on death row. He explores the current adversarial system in politics, how it really feels to speak in parliament and how Keir would change the system.
On a more personal note, they delve deep into Keir’s childhood. He shares how although his mum struggled with Still’s disease she was continually determined and courageous. He reminds himself, “if mum can get up, I can get up”. He shares with Jake and Damian what he would do differently when facing the death of his father and what he would tell his parents if they were alive today.
In this episode they discuss decision making in leadership, when to trust others' judgement and how to shut out the noise.

the bit about his Dad really got me, i lost mine in 2008, 2 days before my birthday.
His focus on technocracy is something I picked up about a year ago. He is the exact kinda PM I’ve been wanting since about 2014
i think he realizes so many things in shot time, that his very good of him. he had brought the vision of his political party back !!
Watched it all... I'm always suspect of politicians but that guy seems genuine. Well done.
He's genuinely Conservative with a small c. Almost Blair like in his views, which is why he is supported by Murdochs right wing press. Regardless he will more than likely be our next PM. Will he fix the system though?. If the government don't reduce deficit spending and have to support the poorer end of society, inflation goes up, then interest rates go up, which affects those with mortages or loans. Those interest payments go back to the super wealthy who own the mortgages and then loops again. The super wealthy have to pay the biggest amount of tax or they are almost removed from the problem, only ever gaining and never losing out, while the rest of the population become generationally poorer.
You mean the guy that has broken every promise he made on the way to the top
Sir Keir appears to be a truly kind person, much like the unsung heroes of England who helped build this nation through their hard work and perseverance. It would be a pleasant change to have someone like him as a leader of the UK.
😂🤣😂
🥴🤦🏽♂️🤡
I suggest you study his career very, very carefully and then make another judgement.
He is a liar. We hate him here in uk. He has destroyed us
Kieth is nothing but a career politician. He's a knight of nothing.
Yes the oh so caring kid starver
I wasn't too sure if I was going to watch this one but must say really enjoyed it :) keep up the great podcast :)
Thought this was absolutely brilliant and insightful. How many current politicians are regularly playing footy with their pals and aren't career politicians destined for the role before they're even born?
Starmer is absolutely a career politician.
@@craigthomabledespite having an entire career in the CPS before becoming a politician. So dumb…
@@jamesgoode6672 Okay, let me read the fine. Read about starting his career you find that he used his legal qualifications to climb up the greasy pole. Transitioning from the law, ““, to politics was 100% part of his personal career plan.
Whether you agree with his way of doing politics, the evidence is quite clear about Starmer being all about career above any other motivation for his being in politics. Read Oliver Eagleton‘s book, The Starmer Project.
@@craigthomable and you think Eagleton’s book is without bias do you? That she definitely isn’t influenced by her support for Corbyn? I agree that Starmer is 100% not your ideal socialist, but he does seem capable, with the support of those on the left, of winning an election. Something Corbyn couldn’t after two gos…
@@jamesgoode6672 Haha. I’ve got a doctorate in history. We’re experts in how to evaluate information for usefulness and reliability.
I’ll give you some teaching: there is no such thing as an unbiased individual, therefore source.
Some more. I, like others, have watched the right faction carefully. The pieces of evidence supporting my view of Kieth must now number between 70-100. If not more. Note the mass media blackout of 95% of his sayings and doings. And you want to talk about bias!
Thank you
If kidstarmer was an England manager he'd be gone, gone, gone
This has given us more of an insight into KS personality than anything else. Think he would make a great PM
What a great podcast. Have always said I would never vote for him, however by opening up just a bit he has changed my mind. So much of what he said i related to.
Glad the PR is working.
Wow, seeing there isn't a smidgen of difference between the parties and hasn't been for 30 years; globalists outsourcing of jobs, wars for the merchants of death....and isn't this the man who won't and can't define what a woman is? PR is so good.

@@bs4754 funnily enough politicians aim to win votes, you moron. It's not a sign of a mental deficiency to become persuaded.
@@bs4754Still can't be any worse than the current Prime Minister.
I couldn't bear to watch it after Keir talked about leaving the room when his father died. It was too emotionally difficult. Me and my sister were in that position with our grandfather last year. I couldn't bear being in the room whilst his heartbeat continually slowed down, it was too much. So I left the room whilst my sister remained at his side. A nurse came back to tell me he passed and my heart just dropped. I couldn't return to that room, I just felt so guilty. Guilty that I wasn't strong enough to stay in the room, guilty that I couldn't to tell my grandfather I loved him one last time, and guilty I left my sister alone to watch our grandfather pass away before her eyes. I ran away, it's my worst regret. Me and my sister never talk about that, we avoid the subject like the plague. We don't talk much anymore either, and I know it's because I left her alone that time. I regret it and I've wished this entire year that I could change the past. I wish I told my grandfather I loved him everyday he was alive. I wish I was strong enough to not leave that room when he passed. I wish I was there with my sister to share her grief and shoulder the pain together. Unfortunately, I cannot bring my grandfather back to life. But my sister is still here, and this interview has given me the strength to talk to my sister once more. To apologize to her for leaving her alone in that room. To tell her every day that I love her like what I wished I could do to my grandfather if he was still alive. We only have a limited time in this world, and I want to spend as much of it as I can with my family. I don't want to have any more regrets for not telling a dying family member that I loved them more when they were still alive and conscious. Thank you for this interview, truly from the bottom of my heart, for reminding me of what's important and to give me the strength to confront my mistakes and make amends
so sad to hear this bro, but its also very empowering. I'm sure your sister loves u deep down and theres always light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how small it is. Stay strong 👊
@@guyfawkes3181 Thank you friend. Your comment has really given me confidence and conviction that this is the right thing to do. I appreciate it
Sorry for your loss hope you find peace and comfort in time. Starmer has only ever cared about Starmer though, he's a liar, a weathercock and an amoral careerist. He's another Blairite war criminal in waiting, we have to watch him.
@@alexharrison9340 and not vote for him.
@@craigthomable Indeed, voting Starmer is no different to voting Tory.
personally i think he will make a brilliant prime minister. has very much InTouch
Did y'all agree beforehand as to what to wear for this podcast?
I like Keir Starmer. He is relatable and human and much more people-oriented than those Tory robots. And he has real-life work experience and is relatively normal compared to most of the riff raff in politics.
He is a Tory robot
@@david030491Beats Clown Corbyn 🤡
He's De-Clowning the party
Now this is a statesman and a Prime Minister. What a genuine bloke. Whatever you think about his politics or his political party, the man himself is a stellar example of an all round good bloke who genuinely seems to care about people.
Great interview. Keir comes across as very sincere and a genuine family man. I don't need to agree with all of his policy ideas (I don't) to recognise that. I may be naïve, but I also believe him when he says it isn't about him and his own ambition.
Then you've been hoodwinked. The man is a disgusting fraud
of course it isnt about him and his ambition. Its about Blairs legacy and protecting those who fund him.
yes you are naive
Sincere?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think he comes across well
And that’s all that matters!
Don’t pay attention to anything he’s actually doing because then you’ll be disappointed
@@TheCJsamson erm he is opposition leader?? What do you want him to do?
That’s literally the game - come across well then absolutely destroy the economy when in power
@@philipwelsh5236 WTF!? 🤨🤷
“What do I want him to do?” 🤔 oh I dunno, maybe come up with some substantive policy’s, don’t privatise the NHS, stop lying and going back on ALL TEN pledges he made during his leadership campaign, or at the very least (and I know this might be a novel concept for a some) get off his arse and support labour rights! Given that he’s supposed to be the LABOUR party leader!? But that wont happen because as he’s demonstrated for 3 years now he’s actually just a Tory wearing a red corsage 😒
@@philipwelsh5236 Well, he could try to define what a woman is - which he refused with slimyness, unless you think, like Sturgeon in Scotland, that a rapist can self-identify himself as woman and go into a all woman prison. Also, he is the one that demanded longer and deeper lockdowns, that ones that have destroyed small businesses, education and terrified a whole generation of children with PTSD.
I think voters have been waiting on seeing this side to politicians, he was honest and emotional and I hope we see more of this from him in the future
Thank you chaps for this great interview always find with you Jake is that you seem to get the most out of these guests and you have grown greatly in your interview technique
Keep up the great work
The problem I have with your comment is that it appeared 23 minutes after the video was loaded onto You Tube and the interview is an hour and a half long. You wouldn't by any chance work for the Labour Party do you ? 🤔
@@Hundredakerwood439 the podcast came out yesterday my friend
Obviously working for the Labour Party. You can't polish a turd pal, Starmer is useless
Yep. It was available via the audio feed yesterday
The last thing U could ever describe Starmer as is honest
share this to as many people as you can
People are what they do, noy what they say. Look into the labour party with K Starmer as leader if you want to know who he is. ?
What an outstanding, down to earth individual.
I pray he becomes PM and breaks the record for longest tenure.

I graduated from university as an engineer but since then I focus on looking for jobs because I need to support my family and I do not want to be a burden for my parents. However, after almost 3 months I still have not had a job yet. I applied to many companies but I have no respond from them. I feel so hopeless, frastrated and useless. I know that I do not have work experience but I am willing to work to gain experience. However, they do not give me even a call back that tell me they do not accept my CV. Can u guys who used to experience this give me some advice?
Work on your CV and make yourself appealing while not lying. Get some experience of some description. Do some projects in your area of expertise, document them on the internet and include them in your cv. Get a job of some description to show you’re not a slacker. Broaden your job options to include other areas. Put the work in and you will succeed. I’m sure you can do it.
@@dwayne_dibley thank you for your advice
Do some voluntary work.
Shows you are willing.
Something to add to your cv plus more experience.
Find somewhere local.
British heart foundation etc.
@@fleurtaylor7311 thank you.
You are very welcome.
Good luck hope you find a perfect job.
I made my mind up years ago to vote for this guy but I love hearing more from him about the non-politics side of his life
“You made your mind up years ago”!? And that’s why the Country continues to go downhill 😒
Maybe people should pay attention to what political leaders ACTUALLY DO because Starmer is pursuing very different policies to what he was even 18 months ago!
@@TheCJsamson I’m voting to get the Tories out and Labour in. I voted for Corbyn twice to try to do the same thing
@@Matt-cz6ti what a childish way to go through life
@@Matt-cz6ti Really, two parties in which all the politicians are from the same universities, who have together over 30 years shipped all the jobs abroad, are war-hungry corporatists, low tax for the Multinationals, who both supported a lock down that has devastated small businesses and who can't define what a woman is. It's a choice between coke and pepsi, so long as you don't yearn for a freshly juiced vegetable/fruit medley with all the bliss-inducing life enhancing nutrients.

He makes Roy Hodgson seem like Pep Guardiola.

Wayne kerr
My guess is he will be next prime minister.. I’m researching now
It’s crazy to think that people find this abhorrent, and boris and the tories more relatable and trustworthy! Not perfect but a far cry from what we have now.
Stunning really! He’s erudite and intelligent. The polar opposite of the grifting Tories.
Get a grip - all politicians are fakes - none of them deliver half of what they say. You’re just another sheep that thinks the grass is greener on the other side.
Both Kier and Boris answer to the same people. The difference between Boris and Starmer is one was born into it the other is bootlicking it
Starmer is vile little man
“A far cry from what we have now”!? 🤨 People in this country are too easily duped 🤦
Starmer is just a Tory with a red corsage 😒
Get that roll in poltics
i cried at the part about his regrets with his father. I was not going to vote because i didnt feel aligned with a party. I will now vote labour as i feel very aligned to this man that i just didnt know until now.
England kit man… maybe
I wouldn't describe him as a leader of the "opposition". He's hardly opposed to anything Tories do. He's one of the same. But obviously it's more important to keep up appearance.
Hardly.
He came across great. Got my vote.
He's utterly hopeless 🤦🏽♂️
@@robeson1231 and the Tories are any better? LMAF 😂
@@tidalwavefilms2113 There’s a BIG difference between Starmer the the Tories…
Do you want your PM to lie for the interests of the wealthy, screw over the working class and privatise the NHS to wear Red or Blue 🤔 it’s a real tough choice this one 🤷
Got anymore jokes?
@@spinofthewheel5345 I might have
Try to win again
Has an excellent record for lies and deceit make a good little dictator
Never known an England manager have coloured players refuse to play for him 😂😂
''I can't stand bull shitters'' i fell off my chair when he said that. General Starmerchet, the most dishonest person ( including Johnson who was at least obviously dishonest) to become an MP ever.
Agree, he's pure scum and will oppose him and labour at the next election, and until he's gone...
🤡 All politicians tell some lies & twist the truth. That is the very essence of the job! You can't compare anyone (including Trump) to Johnson who lies so much that he lies to his own penis 😂
Well said
Oligarch's high performance Lackey.😊
I was wavering about how to vote and if to bother voting at all ...now.. he's deffo the bloke for me
Is it only me or do all 3 men look related? They all look similar XD
Mediocre pasty white centrists
Its not a matter of if, but when you guys on HPP get Will Still on, you can be sure it will blow every other podcast out of the water!!
I never remember an England manager lying to his team and kicking his supporters out of Wembley
What I have never understood is why Labour, and Keir himself; despite his record being very good and positive, are held to a greater standard than BJ and the Tories in general: it's as if this imbalance is somehow costed in with the Conservatives: we expect it, and accept it, we dislike it - yet this country seems to keep voting for them???
What record? Starmer wanted longer and deeper lock downs, the ones that have devastated the country, small businesses, education...Wanted to sabotage the referendum and can't define what a woman is.
Because not everyone has the same mindset as you everyone has the right to their own opinion.
I could never imagine a society voting for a left wing nationally destructive party
If he's the best Labours got, while they might well win, it will be a hung parliment and he won't be able to fix much at all. Surely they have someone better. At least i hope.
When Labour stops being run by North Islington, I'll reconsider...
It’s done
Keep up
Unlike the working class tories?! 😅
Your choice is Tory or Labour. Who's it gonna be? ANY Labour government is better for the REAL people of the country than any Tory one.
Of course, if you're in the 1% then vote for the Selfish Git party..... They're on YOUR side.....
Found this very insightful and such a pleasure to hear a politician speaking that has a brain…….
If he has a brain, why could he define what a woman is? Or maybe he is no differently to Nichola Sturgeon.

Starmer may have been a good QC but he is hopeless as Labour leader.The ONLY reason I'd vote for him is to get rid of the Tories.
Hi Tim. Look, I agree that he's not a perfect Labour leader. I'd choose someone to the left of Jezza if I could be sure he'd/she'd win the election.
I don't care how bad some people, mainly JC fans, think he's let the left of the party down, AS LONG AS HE LEADS LABOUR TO POWER.

No charisma what so ever.
No charismatic. Cf Obama and benazir!!! Oh benazir

Starmer sounds good, but has he mastered the world class basics?
Being Kier Starmer is a bit like being England manager
…in that he’s as uncharismatic and lacking in leadership skills as Gareth Southgate 😒
You mean the Gareth Southgate who got England to a semi final, final and quarter final in the 3 tournaments he's manged them? Yeah, p**s poor leader record that is, and why does everyone get so hung up on "charisma" these days? Its not about them, it about the party/team. Keep your ego in check. Different kettle of fish if you're a Conservative leader, it is all about you and making Mummy, Daddy and all your cronies happy. Sod everyone else.
Better than BJ any day. He is a pleasant and normal individual which is refreshing

@@MartinGreen932 exactly it is the 'high performance podcast' which means they decide what the content is and that was no policy or political point scoring, he said positive things about labour but didn't go anywhere near discussing policy to talk about what he would do to answer what you are looking for is discussing policy, he was asked about what shaped him as a person and that's what we got. the point of these isn't to be a billboard but to find out more about the person. the answers you are looking for are to things that weren't asked if he did spin off a question to talk about that people wouldve jumped on him for making it about politics and showing the MP not the person.
