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.

A PM that actually answers the questions put to them. Amazing.

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.

2nd day and keir starmer is blowing every recent pm out the water- total professinal with a strong moral compass!

This is refreshing. I feel hopeful

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.

It feels like we have won a long war? I hope we have, I hope we can trust to have hope and to never feel betrayed again.

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

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.

Well done Keir and the labour party.A well deserved win.❤

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

Hurrah - there is an adult in the room - proper answers, not sound bites!

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.

I watched it and was thinking to myself that it was like watching a different person from when he was leader of the opposition. Well, he promised change and he changed himself overnight!

This is THE BEST press conference!

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

HE ACTUALLY ANSWERS QUESTIONS!! Brilliant…BTW, I am not a Labour voter in any way shape or form…I will be happy to admit I got it wrong!!!

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.

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

As a reform voter I genuinely hope I’m wrong and Labour at the bear minimum improve on the awful state we are in now.

If reform won it would have been more of the same, Nigel could never seriously govern, he's a campaign and media genius and thats it, we would seriously be in trouble if they had real power, they never had a plan to govern, only to disrupt.

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.

He just gained 5 points in the polls.

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.

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

Organiser, focussed, dispassionate, but he needs to find some money to stop the rot

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.

Fantastic to see him no longer the opposition.

That is what a British Prime Minister is supposed to look like. Well spoken, concise, and boring. Sometimes, we need boring.

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.
