@TheDailyShow You are not wrong, and I'm glad the masses have woken up and need a new option to vote for. But in your fair country you have right wing and very right wing. The media set you up for in fighting while corporation make bank. The media will not let you have a left wing party.
We’re working fast to deliver better living standards and put more money in the pockets of working people.

This interview with @TomBaldwin66 draws out the private Starmer that those of us who follow him about and see when the camera isn’t rolling & he’s not in public view.
He is, of all the PMs I have covered the most ‘ordinary’ and down-to-earth & yet the public perception of him is often that he’s posh, lofty, out of touch.
I think one of the most revealing segments about Starmer is that he delayed his family holiday - his first in a year after that mad election period & early days of govt - to go to to Leeds clean out his brother Nick’s home after he died from cancer, throwing away the rotting food from the fridge, picking up dirty clothes and cleaning out the bath & loo. Why didn’t he get a cleaner in? “I didn’t want anyone else there. He was my brother – I didn’t want to let him down.”

The Tories faffed about for eight years but never delivered a trade deal with India — my Labour government got it done in 10 months.
