Marvellous. Like many other comments here: a breath of fresh air to see an adult in charge. From the start, it's obvious the PM is able to engage with people. He talks to them - not at them. Starmer actually answers questions with honesty and with actions and solutions - while being realistic.

Finally someone explaining his work. Not just book talk!

Starmer's Big Lie is that the reason Labour lost the 2019 general election was because of its policies, a lie which is also told by the Tories. Starmer lied because he is the person who insisted Labour support a second referendum. As 70% of Tory constituencies and 62% of Labour constituencies voted to leave the EU, his insistence that Labour support an action opposed by a supermajority of voters guaranteed defeat for Labour at the 2019 election. Starmer tells the lie that Labour’s policies lost the election because he is responsible for the defeat and he needs a scapegoat to avoid being held to account for keeping the Tories in power.

Can anyone imagine Boris Johnson thinking like this? The first thing he did when he won the 2019 election was to find a donor to pay for his holiday.

Thankyou for that information....interesting. I love Italy especially the Pulia area.

A return to mature grown up politics. Starting to see his real personality now that the pressure of delivering the election result is off his shoulders.

Wow. A prime minister who actually answers questions!

Finally! A grown up has arrived 🥰 Not a clown or spoilt brat!

Oh my god how weird to hear actual answers and a plan from a person who, at least appears to be fully invested.

Impressive i hope all those in his party are on board and do deliver. Also hope there is real change from the awful politics we saw played out so far.

He’s so much more impressive now he’s got a real job. Here, and yesterday’s speech at no. 10. I think he never quite knew how to handle the weird role as leader of the opposition. This is very good start.

The money is there, government via the Bank of England can create it. As long as there is a need, as long as it can control inflation by removing excess from the right places (greater tax on the rich) there are no serious consequences to this. In fact the benefits could be huge with poverty reduced dramatically, infrastructure across the country vastly improved (including NHS, schools) along with major economic boost. People able to spend money means a greater economy, people with a lack of money reduces the economy. If only politicians understood it's not rocket science.

As an outsider with an interest in (but no in-depth knowledge of) UK politics, this press conference feels like such a relief and such a turnaround - a professional look, a serious and polite tone, a realistic approach, no populist hyperboles, and actual answers to the questions asked. A good start if ever I saw one.

Because he led the CPS does not mean we need less accountability from the CPS, the police and the judiciary. We actually need more as they are not competent.

So refreshing to hear a politician who knows what he is going to do and has a grasp on the fact that he is a servant to the people who voted for him and not just in a position to benefit himself. Good Luck to Keir for being brave enough to step forward to try and change so many things that need changed desperately after the last bunch of self serving idiots.

Super impressed with Keir , such a breath of fresh air not to be squirming at everything our Prime minister says. I really do think the UK will improve over the next 4 years

Fantastic. Finally a grown up in charge. And I LOVE the professionalism and commitment to do things properly.

This is THE BEST press conference!

Good start. Hopefully this return to openness continues even during the difficult times ahead

He just gained 5 points in the polls.

I don't know what he can do in the first 100 days or even 1 year, except one very important thing. He can tell the truth about everything. The NHS, Cost of Living, Housing, Pensions, Taxes, Water companies, Migration and Europe. Do not pretend that there are easy quick fixes and do not try to blame people who have little or no impact (ie. immigrants). Basically, do not treat us like idiots.

Although i didn't vote and am a conservative, being a veteran and expat currently in germany and of anglo northern irish lineage, . I do like the way he say's all four nation's..

Brilliant. Can’t wait. So refreshing to have a decent prime minister.

Fantastic to see him no longer the opposition.

I would like to see something done about the cities in the North, Like Middlesbrough brought back to being an efficient city, with no crime, and a possibiltity of having and producing products the country needs.

This is the first time I've gotten goosebumps from a prime minister. He speaks to a level which is understandable, honest and sincere. He knows confidence in government has been waining within the British people for many years. He's got a fantastic opportunity here and seems to be a fantastic prime minister.
