UK is starting to love Sir Keir.
I don't know but something seems to be changing in the media.
Apart from the predictable hostility from GB News and Nick Ferrari on LBC, parts of the press finally appear to be moving towards something dangerously radical:
Judging Keir Starmer on what he actually does.
Not every difficult week is now automatically being presented as a political funeral.
Not every disagreement is being treated as the collapse of government.
Not every Labour setback is being turned into another breathless “Starmer is finished” headline before breakfast.
Some journalists are beginning to acknowledge the seriousness, discipline and stability he brings after years of Conservative chaos.
I would not say the media loves him yet.
That may be asking for a miracle.
But a little fairness, context and neutrality would already feel like a revolution.
And perhaps, slowly, some of them are beginning to realise that quiet government is not the same as weak government.
Sometimes it is simply government getting on with the job.
#LessNoiseMoreDelivery
Once again, no small boat crossing last week.
Labour promised we would sort out the mess left by the Tories and secure our borders.
There is more to do, but we are getting to grips with the problem.
Promise made. Promise being delivered.

Chris Mason should be fired today from Today R4.
This is NOT impartial reporting. EVERYTHING Starmer does is sneered at and hedged with negative caveats. It's not news, Mason, its jaundiced bias we rarely heard during the Johnson era. Boris was always "upbeat" and "ebullient".
Another stabbing on the street by a white man.
Joshua Donnelly, 22, of Duxford Road, Middlesbrough. Stabbed a man 3 times in the neck. Leaving the victim fighting for his life.
Where is the outrage?
Re #Farage We now think Harborne was NOT a ‘permissible donor’ at the time of the Farage Bung of £5million. This means that a very serious offence has been committed-and the reason for the cover up and Farage running from the media on this issue: basically refusing to answer.
Nigel Farage has turned into Enoch Powell of the social media age.
He’s trying to excuse racist disorder and violence against police officers. He’s pushing the politics of grievance and division that goes totally against our fundamental British values of tolerance and decency.
10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk
There’s a lot of nastiness thrown at Keir Starmer but he just seems to be a decent prime minister focused on the job. He led Labour from one of its worst defeats in history to a landslide victory. Sad that career politicians are now trying to move against him
The liars of Brexit are suddenly being exposed
They have got away with it for so long - sooner or later it was going to catch up with them.
Is this yet another reason Farage is in hiding
Well, well, well.
Farage now plans to "cap the recruitment of foreign doctors to ensure that British patients are not being put at risk".
So foreign doctors are a danger to patients?
Stupid fucking racist twat!
Foreign doctors save lives every day in the NHS.

If only
BORIS JOHNSON

LIZ TRUSS
had been SCRUTINISED
as much as they SCRUTINISE Keir Starmer this country wouldn't be in THE PICKLE as it is today
The Right Wing Media have crucified him and will do the same to any Labour Leader #bbcr4#bbclaurak #PoliticsToday @theJeremyVine #NickFerrariLBC #GBNEWS
Another one bites the dust

Overnight, @RoyalMarines and @NCA_UK officers boarded a Russian shadow fleet tanker, the first operation of its kind led by the UK.
I'm incredibly proud of everyone involved who showed great skill, professionalism, and courage.
This is another blow to Putin’s war machine.
"I said it's a good that Nigel Farage has started a newsletter to speak directly to his supporters. What did I say Roy?"
"You said he's a thin-skinned crybaby who thinks he should be totally unaccountable because his bullshit and lies don't stand up to scrutiny"
