He's not a good pick for labour There are, better choices for leadership. People will vote to get rid of the Tories but they won't want to vote for this man.

If this had been Corbyn he would have turned around and engaged with these young people. Instead we get Starmer, grinning knowingly at the audience with an air of embarrassment. "We are on the side of economic growth" ie.e the billionnaires. Shame on him.

He never did talk to them, Starmer the pledge breaker and liar

I'm definitely voting for REFORM party..now..! Clear the decks of the politicians who don't listen..to the constituency who pay taxes and keep politicians in their jobs when they are not fulfilling the public's wishes

What he’s saying, as he stares aimlessly into the crowd, is, where are security, please remove these people…..them offers to come over and talk to the demonstrators…..in a nice quiet corner, away from the cameras….Priceless……….😂😂

As much as I despise the Tory's the shear thought of Starmer new prime minister would be devastating for the UK remember the same guy who turned a blind eye over Jimmy savile

[BarghestOne]

Is he one of their benefactors? Is this a rouse?

[MisterPolitical]

[exstinguishify]

Wow completely staged they're not even trying to be clever about it anymore

[paulshillito]

[heersyal]

The climate protesters are right to highlight this issue, they are right to stand up and call elected politicians, and the industries involved to account. Time for all of us to participate.

The smartest thing in that room... Is the Flag...

[RAGNAAAA]

" we are on the side of economic growth" is code for zero carbon pledges. 😢

[amyisafoxfull]

This is sooo fake. Like he doesn't have security.

[terrylear]

We're in an economic crisis why hasn't Starmer supported the
Common man against
ULEZ.
