These Damaging Words Exposed Keir Starmer Before He Became UK Prime Minister

What are the differences between the image Keir Starmer wants to have and how he comes across? Is Starmer the tolerant and honest politician he wants people to perceive him as, or do his words point to a different conclusion? What are some of the most important linguistic red flags we should look out for? This language analysis sheds new light on Starmer in one of his most revealing interviews.

In this Good Morning Britain interview, Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley question Starmer about a statement made by MP Rosie Duffield, Starmer’s colleague; a statement Starmer has referred to as “something that shouldn’t be said”. How does Starmer’s way of handling the questions make the interview escalate, and what does it tell us about him and his real opinions?

As an analysis, this video is carefully made according to the terms of ‘fair use’.

“Something that shouldn’t be said. It is not right”. These are the words that Keir Starmer, UK prime minister, used about MP Rosie Duffield’s biological observation. How do the words Starmer uses in this interview reveal his real opinions about free speech and speaking the truth? This in-depth language analysis is structured around a decoding of Starmer’s strategies for answering questions, which leads to a more and more revealing (and cringeworthy) debate between Starmer and one of the hosts. I hope you enjoy. Have a nice day.

He is so far out of his depth it is both embarrassing and frightening for our country.

[patneville]

I’m so glad I didn’t vote for him, I’d of been feeling so guilty by now! I’ve always thought there was something “off” about him, never liked him and never will. What he is doing to this country is despicable!

Wolf in sheep’s clothing. As a Brit I am genuinely afraid of the authoritarian streak he tries to cover with egalitarianism.

Jimmy Savilles victims never had a safe protected this beast

[fabmack]

He's so Devious and Dishonorable!

[DimWit]

Sir Kier Starmer keeps telling us his father was a toolmaker, well you can’t argue with that.

[alunjprice]

So far, he’s been worse than I ever could have imagined.

there will never be truth from Starmer. He is evil

[tinaari]

Martins analysis is always on point ! Bravo Martin👍🏼✊🏼💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[jackiea]

A brilliant analysis Martin. This two faced man never answers a question, whatever the subject, and contradicts himself endlessly. You’re right about his lack of tolerance. He sticks a label on any subject he doesn’t like and thinks if he says it enough times it becomes the truth…. Black hole, Right wing, Toxic. The list is endless! You got me on the Free Speech comment. Funny but terrifying!

The fact that politicians are struggling with basic biology due to the encroaching fascistic culture is, to say the least, troubling.

[desmondhull]

Jimmy Saville used to make a joke when asked a serious question and change the subject, strange.

[danisehetland]

Starmer’s words contradict his actions much more than other politicians. All his “dignity and respect” talk is shown to be a lie by his actions as PM. Great video!

[odonnchadha]

This is going to be good. Thank you for this one Martin.

[robynmarler]

It's always so good to get your insight, Martin.

[darkstatehk]

I was waiting for an initial decoding of our limp PM. Thank you Martin, thank you so much. Hope to see more! 🙏

If there was a question on who would be one of the worst PMs for UK right now.. his name would be on top.

[jwsuicides]

Thank you so much for looking at Starmer. I live in the UK and he's been illogical for many years. Please have a look at how he responds, such as when he's thrown out Ken Loach from the Labour Party (who may be the most influential UK film maker for social policy since the 1960s and beyond).

He has no spine. That's what I've seen over the years.

Those of us speaking against him are being locked up now while violent criminals are being released prematurely to make room for us. We ARE talking about people being released after serving only 40% of their sentence (look up Adam Andrews and the horrific life-limiting injuries he left upon a baby and how he's set to be released under the new regs) in order to lock up those of us who disagree with the govt.
