Sir Keir Starmer delivers speech ahead of his Labour government's first budget - Watch in full

The Labour government's first budget will embrace the "harsh light of fiscal reality" but "better days are ahead", Sir Keir Starmer will say in a speech today.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver the budget on Wednesday and setting the tone for the announcement, the prime minister will warn of "unprecedented" economic circumstances and the need to face "the long-term challenges ignored for fourteen years"

LIAR. HYPOCRITE. Who can believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He’s the definition of dishonest, corrupt and incompetent

[prasiet]

Working people, who have been working for years?
This man has no shame.

[Milkybar]

Can’t describe working people. I’ve run my own business for 10 years, employ people and pay massive amounts into the system. I don’t count as a working person, it’s a joke. This guy is going to ruin the economy and country.

[theemperorofboxingtruth]

Absolute gibberish from Labour. Perhaps if we stopped spending billions upon billions on foreign wars and housing/funding immigrants, we could keep our elderly warm this winter.

[Lorraine-pr]

Raise alcohol tax it is very destructive!

[Sam-cc]

Can someone explain, how can raising the bus fares by 50% help the working people?

[leelee-iref]

100 thousand people in London streets protesting and this is what he has to say? …has he addressed the situation with the working English population at all??

[kendrapinder]

This guy is a traitor to our country. Sooner he resigns or gets booted out the better

[PedroMiguel-ifll]

I think Starmer's speech writers are taking the piss of him.
Making him repeat the same words salad over and over again!

[hoboguru]

Tax tax tax

We’ll done Labour voters

[colinrobinson]

🤡
The Dictator of Downing Street. The Defender of Savile. What a mess. What a nasty mess.

[babycharliebrown]

Another unsubstantiated word salad from the traitor.

[sohalvr]

I think macroeconomics should be made compulsory at GCSE. It might help avoid ridiculous tabloid reporting and stupid comments on youtube.

[skippercaship]

This is a load of nonsense, and he knows it.

[leecevictoria]

Did he say "Hope for the future?"
I didn't realise it was standup comedy show!

[FionaHedges]

All hot air and false promises Life is about to get even worse...

[georgethompson]

He didn’t rule out coming back for more money by the way of big tax rises next year!

[markdyer]

Im definitely a working person and i am terrified of what this guy is going to do.

[Greengoblin-qkkq]

The times are going to be tough and hard so starmer says we all know the reason why cos we can't get rid of him unless his own party gets rid of him

[MARFLIXTV]

Sir Keir Starmer asked by students if he's ever taken drugs
