If Tony’s anthem was “things can only get better” his is “I’ll try to stop things getting worse”
Lol
I predict our standard of living will only get worse (Unless you're uber rich) This guy won't be any better that a Tory PM. I guess we shall see eh?
Two party politics bulls***. Well, you voted for him. Remember this when you look back.
He's not going to increase the standard of living for us (Unless you're uber rich) Remember this when you look back.
@@akwalek what would the tories have done?
@@tmoosy give it 2 years and you'll find out
you think things were bad undee Sunak?, wait n see
The tories were for the rich let’s hope labour helps normal people.
normal Israeli people
I’m cautiously optimistic. It absolutely can’t be worse than the tories, the question is how hard can Labour fight to maintain the seats it has won? Can it win even more the next election, and take enough from the tories to ensure they are not the opposition? How much real change will they make? I know a lot of people have doubts, but we have more hope now than we’ve bad for 14 years.
Ohh but it can be careful of what you wish for
@@ImloyaltoScotlandonly We shall see in 4 years. I’ll judge the government based on results rather than expectations. Can’t see my MP failing me though (considering he’s in the socialist campaign group and so is on the left of the party)
we have to be optimstic. might as well not wake up in the morning if you don't have optimism.
This clown isn't going to raise the standard of living for anyone but the uber rich. He'll be no better than RS.
@@akwalek He has to implement change, or he’ll be done for in the next election. Labour have set up very realistic, very easy goals in the manifesto that will be easy to deliver. “Underpromise, overdeliver”, is better than the tory strategy, “overpromise, neverdeliver”.
This is a good speech to be honest. His thing about turning politics back into a 'public service' is pretty on point
He is saying everything people WANTED and NEEDED to hear..... a tactic,
the man is as much a liar as Johnson, he just doesn't mess his hair up first.
Hot air
People say starmer is boring, but we need a boring competence right now.
John Major was seen as boring, but people today credit him for being a pretty decent prime minister
I don't care that he is boring. I care that he is evil.
I was hoping he’d have a really boring grey almost out of fashion suit tbh. I agree, the more boring the more grounded he would come across, rather than worrying about how he looks for the cameras. But I do have faith that he’s going to do a good job and have a grounded approach regardless.
People who say that are absolute idiots and the kind that would vote for the Boris's and Liz's of this world. A PM is not an entertainer, or worse, an entertaining baboon like Boris was
@@archvaldorI think you are evil if you support the last conservative government, take a hard look at your selfish self. Can’t you hear other people crying?
I like this speech mostly because it identifies and shows respect to the fact that they didn't win our trust, just an opportunity. Let's hope they do better than the tories and also get people to a place where they're not searching out Putin alligned populists who want to sell our NHS. Let us not follow in the footsteps of France and Germany who seem hell bent on undoing the things that worked in their countries.
Talk is cheap there is army of people to write those speeches what matter is actions.
@@Pedgo1986 It is quite ironic to stumble your way through a poorly written sentence whilst proclaiming how unimportant good diction is. Also, it's been half a day what actions are you expecting to be made?
"Let's hope they do better than the tories" Why do you think that would happen given that Starmer's Labour are incentivized by greed and power exactly as the tories were?
@@whywowisdieing2604 What politician isnt incentivized by power and greed? It's literally a well paid job where you run a country. Please dont tell me you think someone like Farage isnt doing it for the power? Even the greens do it to feel big.
@@Pedgo1986something he quite literally said in his speech. Did you actually watch it?
What a Gentleman, respectful, polite, focused and above all Professional. Let’s hope it doesn’t take too long to undo the Damage 14yrs of Tory rule has done. 🌹
Who would have thought it? The first BILLIONAIRE Asian man, who "fought" through "hardships" to "earn" the role of Prime minister of the UK. Let that put to rest the idea there is systemic racism in the UK, and let us focus on the true segregating factor, MONEY!!! Peace x
Segregation does exist - it is an unfortunate generational result of historic evil, and still needs to be fought against.
Money needs a scapegoat to occupy the lowest classes - to guarantee that someone will suffer for the sake of the upper class.
Those from non-White nationalities who experience racism but still develop wealth are not proof of no segregation - they are the exception, and are used as proof to try and claim that economic segregation does not still apply.
There _is_ systemic racism in the UK but money speaks louder. Sunak was in Germany when he made his money by crashing the global financial system.
@@alanhat5252 There are racists in the UK of all colours, but there's no system or rule or law that is racist. There's no systemic racism.
*Labour didn't win, the Tories lost.* Reform split the far-r vote.
There is still a worryingly, shockingly huge number of people who support all things and people that have done nothing but harm to the UK. At least 40% of the UK still supports EVERYTHING thats happened to bring the UK to the ruin its in.
In 2019, 32.4% and 10.3 million votes gets you 220 seats and your leader stands down.
In 2024, 33.7% and 9.7 million votes gets you 412 seats and it’s hailed as a landslide victory.
Welcome to democracy, UK style 🤦♂️
Oh shit don't say that .☹️🥴😏
Progressives won more than 53% of the vote proportionally, even if Labours vote share went down. Wales kicked the cons out completely. Reform/Cons at 38% - and don't forget if anything taught us the tiniest percentages count, it's Brexit.

Welcome to democracy, UK style 🤦♂️
Sadly there is a huge section of the electorate that vote to punish people they see as a threat to them. Reform and the Tories appeal to their anger and stoke it up. They are so easily played - it's embarassing
No Larry the Cat? :/
Larry lost interest after so many PMs came and went in such a little time.
he went in the door few mins before speech
He is in hiding until he is sure that Cameron is gone. You know what Our Dave does to animals!
Larry is busy evicting the rats 😆
Oink Oink 🐷 🤣
I don’t have high hopes for the Starmer government, but i pray they prove my pessimism wrong
Good luck to the man 🫡
I automatically distrust anyone in power, even if I voted for them. The minute they cross the threshold, the romance is over. It's called holding power to account
@tonyatthebeach Agree with this wholeheartedly, they all deserve scepticism and a degree of cynicism no matter what side they're on.
@@user-SubvurzIVExactly
Let his performance speak on how he's judged. Chances are this Labour government will be vastly more competent than anything we got under 14 years of Tory chaos.
Well it’s hypothetical at this stage ..labour have a big hooray Henry party to clear up after the Tory bun fight,it will take time..give him that time.
Harry Potter is all grown up. Good job Harry. Now work some magic for us all.
Tories out! One step towards the left, centre first, then bring the people with them, I think we forget how right wing our country has become. The Tories collapsed but Labour were there to catch all the falling votes. Lets rebuild the pulic services, please!!
Labour didnt catch them though.... Keir got less votes that Corbyn in both 2017 AND his wipeout in 2019 with only a minute increase in vote share of 1.6%.
Keir drove people away from Labour in absolute droves. This was one of the annoying and unfair quirks of FPTP, the Tory vote collapsing and Reform split it in other places, this led to Labour winning huge numbers despite people not liking them.
Our Democracy is absolutely absurd when someone with 40% of a vote is considered 'unelectable' and absolutely lambasted by the media, yet this man, who seems to be widely hated and tolerated only because he's not Sunak is handed the keys in such an easy way.....
The tories were essentially leftists hidden behind a veil of "right wing", I have no idea where you got the "we forget how right wing our country has become" bullshit when we are a liberal shithole and we are one of the least racist socieities in the world, doesn't sound very right wing to me.The left portray themselves as countercultural, but we live in a time where, if you are left-wing or egalitarian, you are NOT a radical. If your opinions line up with every government, every university, every major corporation, every media company, every NGO then you’re not a radical. You’re a FOOT SOLDIER for the regime and you don’t even realise it. The greatest trick the power structure has ever played is convincing people who think of themselves as radicals to be its loyal foot soldiers.
It's become so right wing that a huge proportion of the public doesn't believe the extreme fringes of the right even exists.
@@ToCoSo 🤣🤣🤣 we are one of the most left wing liberal countries on the planet, what are you even on about?
Imagine if the Lib Dems had pipped the Tories. How different the whole picture would look
I want to hear what he says when he sees what Johnson did with the wallpaper
I'm pretty sure Truss and Sunak took care of that for him. 😄
@@kevinmiguel1597 I think the wallpaper might have driven Truss mad(er).
I hated this country so much because they constantly voted the Tories in I didn’t even support any British team in sporting events, now everything has changed. You may say I'm a dreamer, but not the only one.
FPTP voted the Torys in, the people make _much_ more progressive choices. 😢
UK people to Keir Starmer: You got our votes, don't waste them.
1 in 3 of 60% of people on the electoral roll. It's an indictment, not an endorsement.
“Tread more lightly on your lives” is such an unusual phrase
Translates to “stamp on your hopes and dreams slightly less forcefully”
@@roostah3575 Or could also translate to: "Tell you nothing about what we're up to behind closed doors until it's too late for you to object."

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever." - George Orwell, 1984, part 3, chapter 3, during Winston's indoctrination, during an explanation of 'power'. It's an illuminating read.

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever.'" - George Orwell, 1984.
The Chancellor is channelling Vera Webster from Superman III and hoping The Prime Minister channelling Clark Kent can save the economy.
In Opposition Starmer has broken every single pledge but in Govt Starmer will be accountable.
He asked about the country's future for the children. I'm not sure people are having children anymore. How can you afford children.
Well done.

A pm from a working class background that has known struggle street can only be a good thing for this country. Looking forward to seeing GBE take off , this hopefully will put an end to what the electric companies are putting the masses through right now with their extortionate pricing.
Your joking right 😂
"His father was a toolmaker" solely on the basis that he owned a toolmaking company! 😂😂😂
"GBE" will be a half-arsed attempt at a National Investment Bank, it will own no more than 25% of anything it funds so will have little say in its direction or operation.
Read up on Corbyn/McDonnell's offering or many from around the world if you want to see the real thing.
Current "extortionate electricity pricing" is almost entirely Government policy, a couple of votes in Parliament it it could all go away. It's not going to happen though.

Hmmm Rupert Murdoch's boy Keir starmer or Putin's buddy nigel farage
This is exactly what is going to happen in the new fascist take over of Europe, America, the west. Just like the corrupt paramilitary fascist death squad police force march into the police station demanding the genuine, honest regular police officer to have his group of people join the new the corrupt paramilitary fascist death squad police force so they can drag people out from there homes, round them up, carry out public executions, abuse and persecute instead of protect and serve. The new fascist over has already begun as France is set on for victory of the fascist marine le pen in the election, Germany is looking to have a fascist AFD victory in there election and Italy already has a fascist in power today named giorgia meloni, America will get the trump in this election and then the real fascist takeover of the west begins. Shame we do not have a real Robocop and a Sgt. Reed to save humanity from this police and government corruption. The Robocop movie series described the new era of fascism in the future of the real world perfectly yet many people did not notice it or are very ignorant.
At last we hear from Keir the focus that is an ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL. The Return to PUBLIC SERVICE and the rebuilding of our threadbare country infrastructure. We don't want the GB to be known as the dirty country of Europe, (& if you don't believe that go to Europe and be embarrassed at how far ahead they are). The Tories have made the UK a Backward Society by looking backward to Victorian attitudes. The Labour Government of 1945, (the first after WW2), gave a commitment to Public Services and support. The Tories have spent the last 99 years trying to undue what worked best - "Nation Supervised Activities" This policy of Public Ownership & Regulation, resulted in World beating Energy systems and Security, a Motorway system, Cars, Buses, Motor bikes, Boats, Ships and Locomotives, all built in Great Britain by Great British people. Mrs Thatcher consigned that to the BIN between 1980 & 1990 opting for Wealth creation by Finances, (fooled by people who told her the UK would be the best), LIES on top of LIE, concluding in 2008 when the World financial system all but collapsed and ordinary people lost their savings and future pensions to MONEY PEOPLE. Who wants to go on with that nightmare ? Its time for years of Government, who put Society and its peoples NEEDS FIRST and REGULATES business if they want to operate in our Lucrative Market..
Oh well, maybe the next General Election will bring that for us.
'We will rebuild Britain', by not spending any money on anything and wasting time, money and effort on inefficient 'reforms'
Brilliant speach. Knocked it out of the park!
I am sure he will try his utmost best, but can you make a silk purse out of a sows ear?
I am seriously concerned about what a Labour government will do and how competent they will be in meeting the challenges our country is facing, but they were elected and I am willing to give them a chance. In other words, I respect a democratic decision.
A brilliant start, let us hope that in a year’s time, we will see clear signs of strong progress 😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Well there isn't, just fpp, which was the case when the election started this year. I agree fpp needs to go but stop grizzling that you would have done better if it were a different system. Get on and persuade the electorate overall to change it out. You now have a platform to do this. Good luck and I wish you will achieve it so that every one is more fairly represented, not just reform voters.

reality is a strange thing...
Cut tax on foods and goods and make stuff affordable again. Put the homeless first for once and get all people off the street and give them a house. No one should go hungry and suffer in the rain and snow help them out. Stop self service tills taking peoples jobs away. Free parking at all supermarket's. Cost of living payments for all every month. Build more shelter's and hostels end homelessness once and for all. Foods should be affordable no one should go hungry. Wages should pay the rent and bills plus your living costs. Everyone needs a pay rise and cut the taxes now.

Plenty changed under Blair. Increased funding to education, increased free hours of nursery, abolition of section 28, half a million children lifted out of poverty, etc.
Only problem in my opinion is he didn’t do any nationalisation.
You are wrong. You dont understand the depth of self-interest, corruption and grift that is and always has been ingrained in the conservative party.
