Sir Keir Starmer reacts to Joe Biden withdrawing from the US presidential race in UK skills speech

The Prime Minister is delivering a speech in Hampshire, launching a new plan to tackle the UK's "fragmented and broken" skills training system.

Skills England, which was included in Labour's manifesto, is designed to ensure training provision is aligned with the needs of the economy. It will bring together central and local government, businesses, trade unions and training providers to better understand the nation's "skills gap".

We will likely hear more from Sir Keir Starmer on news that Joe Biden has endorsed his deputy Kamala Harris as US president - after standing down from the race

Says Skills a lot and answers some scripted questions from the media.
A job well done.

Why is it titled like this? As interesting as the US Presidential drama is, this was a speech about a key Government policy announcement so it should be titled as such.

I think sir kier Starmer should get Joe Biden to advise on border control in the UK

[wqszvtw]

The needs of the economy!!? Starmer shouldn’t be left alone in charge!

[realmankrets]

Is Starmer real or AI? Sounds very robotic

[williammccusker]

Ah yeah, "the special relationship". America tells us what to do & we do it.

Intelligent government. We used to hear empty phrases like ‘joined up government’ but now we know that could actually look like. Keir’s government is listening and learning then making a change. I feel hope for the first time in over a decade.

This guy's a war hawk. Could be worse than Blair or any Tory in that regard.

[Starlight-v]
