Labour: Sir Keir Starmer sets out vow of ‘straight leadership’ in keynote speech

Sir Keir Starmer on Tuesday unveiled his new ‘contract’ for the British people as he sought to put clear distance between Labour and Boris Johnson’s ‘flawed’ Government.

In a keynote speech in Birmingham, the Labour leader set out a “pledge of straight leadership” for the country based on three guiding principles: security, prosperity and respect.

I can’t bring myself to vote for any of these liars. After voting for Labour all my life I really won’t vote for ANY of them.

[beckscoach]

Captain abstain, agrees to everything Boris says. Provides 0 opposition.

[dan]

I enjoyed how he laughed when he said honesty. Even straight leadership man can't say it with a straight face.

[ginvr]

Funny how a Labour MP goes on about the british people do not like being taken for granted, when that is what Labour has and still does to it's historic voter base

[Oioisaviloy]

If this is the opposition then god help us.

[jamesbunyard]

The issue is. Blue or red. No side speaks for the people anymore. Promises are empty. No faith in either. But a good start would be to increase the wages and hold taxes.

[tuckstar]

We also don't like the fact that the government have had no opposition throughout this whole pandemic.

[donnyE]

Utterly embarrassing from him and Labour

[garyuk]

Who do you think you are, there is incompetence abounding in all parties, all you do is criticize the day after anything happens, yet no plans at all from you, and memory lost on the failures of past labour governments, notes left on desks saying all money gone, open door immigration that we are still suffering from now .No Mr Starmer return to being a lawyer you are probably good at that but a politician no.

Says Covid measures have caused so much hardship and heartache, but wanted to lock down faster and longer 🤷‍♂️

[hugodrax]

Thinking Labour might be better? Take a look at Wales....

[michealconlon]

You should have prosecuted Jimmy savile ffs

[Lion-O-Richie]

Does anyone like being taken advantage of and being treated like fools?

Didn’t know it was only British people.

[Phyroxin]

they're running out of slogans to blind us with

[georgeroberts]

Someone tell this traitor that he's meant to be the opposition.

[WildCornoviiStudio]

You need to grow a sack and fight for us. You're supposed to be the opposition.

[trevorhill]

One question Starmer, What is a woman ?

[gary]

Moral right, trust, decency, he wanted to overturn the referendum. Knelt like a fool and wouldn't say only women have a cervix. Lmfao.

[resonantconsciousness]

Joke;
How do you tell when a politician is lying?
They open their mouth

[subrakolimali]

Instead of constantly complaining aided by LBC, can the commentators come with one plan with their negative comments that they make. Fed up being diverted from the real issues.
