LIVE: Sir Keir Starmer hosts Downing Street press conference

Sir Keir Starmer is delivering a keynote speech at Downing Street as he seeks to lay the foundations for tax rises and spending cuts later this year.

The prime minister speaks from the rose garden in which Boris Johnson’s staff organised parties, and promise to restore trust and hope in politics.

You have been judged alright, now do us all a favour and RESIGN 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[karmicties]

If rioting is illegal and arriving in a dinghy is illegal, why does one get prison and the other a hotel with benefits?

[MyCritic]

Did I just hear right, Starmer called the small boats a terrorist trade? If so why aren't the migrants treated like terrorists?

[jorgenfaxholm]

You can't grow a country through taxes

[Tonyioswfc]

Useless and definitely not fit for purpose I'll clap to that Starmer

[Thessalonians-kgpf]

A Farmer for Prime Minister ONLY
Jeremy Clarkson will do.
Farmers protect land, feed the nation, know economics, infrastructure, British Culture, irrigation, infection control, fire regulations.
You name it

A farmer knows it.

I just want him removed from Government he is a traitor to the British people he has ruined it in such a short time please sign the form to get rid of him

[MyCritic]

Starmer will increase your council tax and business rates.

[oldAJ]

What about the white working class we are the minority

[sailor]

Why does he hate the British working class and pensioners?

[londonman]

he wants to promote wealth creation and tax it at the same time ?

[londonman]

did the tories lie about the black hole ?

[bluesmith]

I was born and raised in America but I love Britain. Keep fighting the far left and Starmer. Don’t give up.❤

[MyCritic]

Starmer said taxes would not go up. Gives massive pay rises and then says there is a black hole which he has caused.

[zentonist]

The assembled hacks are as useless as Starmer - softball questions and nothing about the root causes of the recent unrest.

[MyCritic]

Take money from pensioners and give it to £60k a year train drivers.

[immaterialimmaterial]

I used to think Boris Johnson and his dodgy hangers on was bad... But now this?!?! Clearly all are unfit or public office, let alone the 'top' job! Why do we even bother voting?!

[pershorefoodbanktrusselltr]

This man is a joke! Notice he always gets questions off the same picked journalists and deliberately leaves out those media channels that will actually take him to task. Life under Labour is going to be hell!

[MyCritic]

Starmer will increase your energy bills

[TravelWithMarti]
