Stop asking the UK Prime Minister about this. He cannot say anything different for diplomatic reasons. He cannot say Biden should stand down.

What's wrong with the US where they can't find someone in their 40s or 50s to run for president?

[Hope-wl]

We agree with new PM of UK, Keir Starmer: " It is for the U.S. voters to decide if Biden is too old to be leader ".

I only left the UK at the end of January 2019 because my student visa expired. This interview just makes me miss my former home even more. What an excellent new PM, such brilliant answers, confidence and perspective. I am sure Jake wishes he could leap across the Pond as well!

[ktmccarthy]

I love how, unlike so many/most American politicians, he actually answers most of the questions he is asked rather than dodging most and answering only a small number.

The US could learn a lot from the recent UK general election. The US spends way too much time and money on their elections.

WoW! Such a good break to ACTUALLY have a comprehensive interview on the substance rather than infights and entertainment politics.

Seems like a sensible chap, good for Britain and the free world.

Lovely 🇬🇧. No drama Stahmer. Nice to see two men who are calm & normal & good at governing, maybe boring is better than circus showman?

[Beefybaby]

My PM, sensible and well measured and doing the job properly which hasn't happened for 14 years

[TimesFM]

I campained for labour and im so proud Keir is my pm

[winglift]

Seems like a good guy! Nice work, U.K.

[jaylenreed]

You know it’s bad when even Britain is telling us to get our shit together

No drama, Stahmer. Not getting sucked into inappropriate partisan questions. Very gently boundary setting with its tempting to get ahead of ourselves.

[sarakelsall]

It's so nice to listen to a prime minister who can actually speak about what they going to do for the country. Feel sorry for the USA if Trump gets in as he cant speak very well either.

[keithlillis]

23 out of 32 countries spend 2% or above on NATO. And just to be clear of what Trump would like you to believe, no NATO country actually pays the US a cent for being in NATO. The US spends what it spends on defence, because it wants to. European countries have no say in what the US spends or doesn't spend.

[doughughes]

I like Starmer. I think the UK is in good hands.

[Finnleigh.Jackson]

People age differently. Some are just 50 and over the hill, others are 100 and sharp like tacks

[mattinterweb]

You should refer to him as Sir Keir Starmer, CNN

[knightlife]

I’m certain most people in the comments didn’t watch the video. The Biden stuff, despite the title of the video, is not the focus of interview.

It’s about UK/US relations and NATO
