Starmer says he is ‘not surprised’ to see Prime Minister booed at Platinum Jubilee event

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he was “not surprised” that Boris Johnson was booed by crowds who gathered outside St Paul’s Cathedral to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee on Friday.

Starmer said that the crowd’s reaction to the prime minister’s appearance reflected how “fed up” voters are with the Conservative government, especially in relation to the cost of living crisis.

“They are fed up with the government. But the vast majority were there to say thank you to the Queen and in a sense reflect on what she has given to our country, which is absolutely phenomenal,” he added.

You can tell he's absolutely loving this 😅

[flabbybum]

Do you think if he had walked down straight after Boris, he'd have been cheered? I think not.

Says the bloke that was literally kicked out of a life long labour voters pub in Bath just last year.

[WesD]

Not only are we fed up with this government, we are fed up with Starmer.
We deserve a better option

[nobbyclarke]

Starmer you are such a plum, if they booed the PM just image what they would do to you ….

[JohnDoe-rnpz]

Starmer is just as corrupt and untrustworthy at the rest of them

[David_medium]

Notice how he says people are fed up with government and assumes that doesn’t include labour 🤔, people are sick of the government as a whole this is just a game to them all we are simply the game figures that’s all 🤦‍♂️

Well it's a good job Starmer wasn't there all would be saying who the fxck is that

[knightowl]

It's as though Kenneth Willaims was still alive and playing Labour Party leader in "Carry On Failing."

[richardhussey]

If he becomes PM, it will not be long before he is booed! Just like every British PM before. Big deal!

[swaggerfm]

Starmer is just as bad...there's literally noone to vote for

[AC-SlaUkr]

Knew there was a reason why I stopped reading the newspaper. Lacklustre Starmer political point scoring. Shame on him.

[christinecarroll]

It’s so easy being in opposition. You don’t have to do anything except whinge.

[gordongate]

i suspect if the silent knight rolled up into liverpool he would get exactly the same respect

[ACorn]

Isn’t this the same Starmer who is on record saying the monarchy should be abolished?

[roygreenwood]

Says the man who gets booed every time he opens his gob

[jackthelad]

Pure pantomime, Keir Starmer didn't get booed because no one recognised him.

[oscarlite]

He was booed because of the high immigration.

[TheCJsamson]

I often think I’d rather have anyone as Prime Minister instead of Boris 😒
…and then I see this empty suit talking and I think 🤔 maybe not literally ANYONE 🤷

[andrealegonidec]

"well look", "but look"
Why are the majority of politicians and news presenters (not just in the UK) starting their sentences in this way, it's getting bl**dy annoying.🙄
