- Sir Keir Starmer has stood up to speak as prime minister in the Commons for the first time. He began by congratulating Sir Lindsay Hoyle on his re-election.
He said the Speaker presided over the most diverse parliament by race and gender the country had ever seen.
“And I’m proud of the part that my party has played, proud of the part that every party has played in that,” he continued. “Including, in this intake, the largest cohort of LGBT+ MPs of any parliament in the world.
Sir Keir Starmer also congratulated the new Father of the House Sir Edward Leigh and Diane Abbott who is now Mother of the House.

Put a sock in it about diversity. I don't care. I care whether your MP's can do the job their constituents expect. Their 'diversity' has zero impact on this. Zero. Nada. None.
Speaks someone who is clueless about what diversity really means.
Oh look, the brain dead bigots who swallow everything politicians and the news media spew at them wholesale and refuse to use google for ten minutes are outing themselves on CZcams again. Good to know it now on the internet foreeeever.
Why is anyone surprised ? It was the same when Blair was elected back in '97. Everyone knew this before they voted them in. We're gonna get more of this for years to come.
Its about survival now. Nothing else matters.
Ok sure so you are happy to have a load of eton nepobabies making laws and policies to help the cost of living crisis, even though they have never had to experience the worry of not being able to pay bills or rent?
What is so good about diversity? We had diversity in the form of conservatives, liberals, capitalists, socialists, brexiters, remainers, royalists, republicans, hawks, doves, etc etc etc. It is the diversity of thought that enhances parliament. How does who you sleep with, or what toilet bits you have, or the colour of your skin make you a better MP?
Imagine thinking ‘diversity’ is a bunch of white, straight, power hungry, ‘politicians’. You really have swallowed everything they’ve the far right have sold you wholesale huh? YIKES 😂
Because it means you understand and reflec t on the diversity of the people you represent most people are not political analysts or politically tribal, thats just social media.
Only when there are 650 black women in Parliament will true diversity be achieved.
“It is diversity of thought that enhances parliament”
You literally answered your own question as to what is so good about diversity. And how does it make you a better mp.
Representative, that’s all it is
The last PM was "diverse " ,how did that work out for the country?..grow up and employ the best people for the jobs
@barukkazhad8998 and of course wr always do that don't we? Bias racism etc. Has not cone into it has it? Loon

We care about fixing our country, not all the other nonsense
No we care about capability, representation and representation. You are the minority with narrow views.
Guess what - they are on the case with that too, in case you hadn't noticed out of the view from your cave.
Exactly so. What we want is the best person for the job, not the most diverse
Which bit is nonsense?
@@TheBadVideoMakerthen they must be doing an excellent job in Wales. The valleys constantly hit the top of the run down areas and Cardiff Newport and Swansea are the top 3 cities for child poverty. Excellent job labor 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭👍👍😭
Wake me up in 5 years
I dont care about diversity, how did that work out for the Home Office losing 17,000 illegal immigrants.
We want people who can do the damn job not people who are there just to tick a box.
Jack!
Yeah, damn conservatives could never get a grip on it despite the promises, let us down big time
Because you are not from a diverse group you are not interested right?
Unfortunately for you those from a diverse community care very much that politics includes us.
@@LorraineTapperthere is far less white people than black across this planet we live in. So I as a white man am far more diverse than you fact!
Which would be half of this new cabinet. Good Grief!😮
Starmer has only been PM for a few hours, and already he's off-loading responsibility onto mayors. I mean, Khan really needs to be given more powers 🙃
Oh not just mayors - next he’s off to the EU to sign over part of his government’s workload to them again.
Makes you wonder why they wanted the job, right?
This guy makes me sick , 2:38 FFS .😡
God save England from Labour woke
What is woke? I am not British.
Well If you are only interested in England. Have Jane hutt back she's wrecked Wales and is not Welsh

She's going back to her birth land England.

This country isn’t diverse it’s only diverse if you are not English and born here
Looks like the brain dead bigots are outing themselves on the internet again. It’s so good to know that it’s now on the internet foreeeever.
Only by their language. We are English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish. Plenty diverse.
Can we have a referendum on wether to keep diversity and woke . People are people and should not be labled and put in boxes to suit someone elses view .
Are you dreaming? We are on a journey of no return down the flushing toilet of this nonsense.
Keir, I don't care if MPs identify as a chocolate tea pot, all I care about is you muppets doing your jobs properly! Stop the virtue signaling nonsense and get on with it!
Here here, I agree, As an UK I hope they do there job properly
Do you communicate in English too, or just buzzword bingo?
@@TheBadVideoMakercan you tell me what a woman is…?
😂😂😂
100% agree with this, but they hid all this from the public, more and more woke stuff is coming out about them and now I am extremely worried about the UK and the future for us all.
@@TheBadVideoMaker Sorry Champ, I will keep my prose vanilla and mundane in future to enable you to keep up with proceedings.
How anyone voted for this muppet is beyond belief
Not many did, that's the problem with UK politics. We voted for a local MP .
@@jablot5054 And more people voted for local Labour MPs . . .
How he became a knight and a KC is beyond me. It’s like watching paint dry and he is not a decisive man at all. He goes with whichever way the wind is blowing.
@@superhumantrueman... but not as many as voted for Labour in either 2017 or 2019.
Starmer's voice is insufferably tedious.
haterrrrr
He's not like watching paint dry it's more like listening to paint dry.
He's got the charisma of a turd with glasses doing the back stroke in a public toilet.
That is your problem. No-one can do anything about your irrational intolerances. That is entirely down to you.
Tony: would you prefer Sin-nak ???
He's a traitor to boot
The more they bang on about diversity, the more polarised the debate. It does not matter about sex, race or creed, but ability to do the job.
The woke is strong in him .....
@@Achies31397He's so woke
Mentioning someone's colour, race or who they have sex with as achievement or measure of safety within his cabinet is pure wokeness.
Also the idiocy is strong in him.
@@Achies31397 Are you an IQ 0?
The caveman is strong in you.
@@darrenhopkins6829 Diversity means that more people are represented by someone that they identify with. And that is an important factor in bringing a country together. You lot use the word Woke so often, it is almost the only thing that your brains can cope with. Yet another cave dweller.
Diversity….equals ….window dressing….and will bankrupt the store 😂
Do you mean before or after the Tories eviscerated the country and social services for nearly 15 years for personal gain with a never ending rotating door of unelected, morally bankrupt, scandal ridden ‘leaders’? Looks like they got you to swallow everything they sold you wholesale too. Well at least now your bigotry is on the internet foreeeever.
Because hiring the actual experts in their fields is worse than installing a bunch of incompetent but overconfident men is better, just because they look the part? We’ve had positive discrimination towards mediocre straight white men (pale male & stale) for waaay too long and look at the mess it has caused.
@@inspectortiddles here here
Just another power hungry traitor, nothing new, move on.
Which nation has Starmer been working for if he is a traitor? Or do words just not mean anything anymore?
@@superhumantrueman I think the poor guy got confused and thought he was looking at Farage.
@@superhumantruemanHe is a Jew and works for Israel. Did you not know that?
@@superhumantrueman I think that you have a point there. Nothing means anything any more. People just spout absolutely meaningless garbage. Whenever I have challenged anyone to justify their words, they just go quiet. Let's see what happens here.

The word is they’re all heading to Clacton to leave a deposit for Nigel to pick up.
With a strict uniformity of opinion, and the willingness to do anything the ruling class wants them to do.
What do you say if there is no intelligence in show?
Aaah... Diversity!
Another reply that just consists of words with no real meaning. No wonder the country is in a mess with this cave-dweller type of thinking.
Intelligent people are generally not interested in a political career. Tony Benn, Enoch Powell and others of brain, conviction and honesty were subsumed by the tide of mediocrity that surrounded them.
@@stephenl7048 Does this explain the entirety of the NSDAP? Explain Goering or Goebells. Your reply is one of the most ignorant and narrow minded statements I’ve ever seen.
@@BritishEngineer "Generally", is a word that does not preclude exceptions. I gave two examples - you gave two more. To compare the preparedness of the German populous to rally to the Nazi party to the observation that those of high IQ are typically not attracted to politics has no relevance. Wipe the foam from your lips and calm down.
A government only there because there was no-one else to vote for, so many didn't.Diane Abbot, Rayner etc. God help us when these get started.
Yep, think were ready for a general election!!
The country is screwed when politicians put diversity and inclusion over it's own people
Especially when they are too scared to admit they know what a woman is.

Oh look all the traitors all in a row.😡
The opposing party are ‘traitors’? Looks like you might want to look at the history of fascism on google. Do you know what google is? It’s this thing you do with a computer- do you know what a computer is? Never mind.
Magsathome 65 couldn't have said it better.
And as we all know, diversity is far more important than ability.
Many of us with age will remember that Britain was stronger and truly British pre-diversity but now we have invited the "enemy-within" and our society is now corrupted and weak and on a death spiral so please do not tell us that diversty has not had consequences !
Reign in the racism white man.
It’s almost as if every right wing government the world over prays on bigots who swallow everything the media spews at them wholesale, while they eviserate the economy and public service for personal enrichment and somehow you seem convinced it’s because of immigrants who’ve never been here or are fleeing war and not the unending rotating door of unelected, moral bankrupt bigots.
Another bloated house. Why do we need do many MPs.
We don't need half as many MPs or half as many civil servants.
It's a cushy number for narcissistic idle tossers .
The Mother of the house?, yeah right!!!😂
Oh look, the misogynists are outing themselves on the internet again. Good to know it’s now public and on the internet foreeeever. Someone check on the women and children in this bigots life, and maybe his computer too.

Is that because the morally bankrupt, utterly corrupt Conservative Party ruined the economy and eviscerated public services for nearly 15 years, leading to sky rocketing poverty, food banks and hate crime or because you’re dumb enough to buy the bullsh*t brain dead bigotry that it’s all the fault of immigrants and trans people and couldn’t poooosibly be the fault of the never ending rotating door of unelected, greed and power driven politicians? I wonder which one is more likely?

Can someone please inform all MPs -they are not celebrities, they are not special people, they are there to serve their constituents and follow their wishes.
With a diverse group of MPs, they'll have a better chance of identifying with their constituents. Walk a mile in their shoes.
5 years of pure wokism.

Merely a continuation from what we already had, given there is no difference between the Labour Party and Conservative Party.
@@TREVORALLMAN There is, otherwise all these fragile right wingers wouldn't be crying about it.

Yeah. That's what the people care about. It's not for the MPs to do their job. It's for the MPs to be diverse.
I always pay my mortgage in diversity.

Please stop the cringe
See. This is why many white working class voters are turned off by the Labour party, because of this obession with racial, religious, gender & sexual identity politics. While ignoring the concerns of everyone else.

Reform you can now see for yourself why people in such numbers voted for them

Champagne socialists, will all the expense accounts be properly sanctioned for all their excesses? I very much doubt this mans word on anything, or that of his PIP party.
Why is diversity a good thing? We compare ourselves to America, where black people have lived for centuries. It's not the same thing.
Looks unusual seeing them in the government benches
Couldn't give a toss about diversity, I care about how good they are at their job. How old are these people 13? Get on with your job like adults.
We are fucked, what the bloody hell have we voted in?
Reading these comments reminds me of what George Carlin had to say about the stupidity of the average person.
How could anyone vote these lot in

Sure diversity is our main problem in the UK!
Not diverse in terms of disability though
Diversity is what the people want 😂..fix the country and stop sending any money abroad that what we want ..father and mother of the house ..really 🙄

At least Abbot is sober and wearing the right shoes on the right foot today.
Not only that. She successfully counted all her feet today.
I'm truly amazed she manages to find her way there by herself
