Keir Starmer addresses whether criticism of Joe Biden is 'fair' | LBC speaks to the PM
With Keir Starmer currently attending the Nato summit in Washington, LBC's Political Editor, Natasha Clark, spoke to the PM about Joe Biden, dangerous prisons and more.
US President Biden has come under fire for his lacklustre performance in a recent presidential debate against Donald Trump and many have urged him to step down.
However, Starmer stresses that Biden was on 'good form' during their discussion and the pair covered a 'whole range of issues'.
“I saw him last night for what was going to be 45 minutes for a bilateral, it ended up being the best part of an hour.
“We went through a whole range of issues, strategic issues, global issues, we did them at pace because we needed to cover a lot of ground. He was on good form. And it was a real opportunity for us to talk through those issues, reaffirm the special relationship between our two countries."

"I was going to see him for 45 minutes but I actually saw him for the best part of an hour" 45 minutes is literally the best part of an hour, is he bragging that he saw him for 5 minutes more?

I am not from the UK but the water situation is criminal. They should nationalize the water companies. It make no sense to have a 'free market' for water. It is a natural monopoly, are you going to have 5 different companies makes pipes so consumers can choice one? It was a mistake and makes absolutely zero sense. Just ramp up the regulation requirements and these companies will go bust so the state can get them on the cheap.

My brother used to work for one of the nationalised water companies & found it was full of people who wanted to do as little work as possible. Whilst private monopoly is not an ideal substitute for a public one, it still exerts a degree of efficiency by virtue of satisfying its regulator & stakeholders. Witness public Network Rail that took on exactly the same role as private Railtrack, and has more than double the staff & 4x the budget.
"Yeah - the president is as sharp as a tack. We talked about the fairies under his bed, the recent ice-cream drought, how untrustworthy stairs can be, the benefit of men's diapers (I had to look that one up) and whether I thought I'd sooner live in the White House instead of Buckingham Palace.
