#KeirStarmer #PrimeMinister #Britain
Anything has to be better than 14 Years of Conservative Failure.......
Amazing how much faster they are able to move and transition compared to the US
The transfer of power is immediate. At 03:00am Starmer became Prime Minister. The Civil service all studied the Manifestos and are ready to greet the new team. Even all of Sunaks belongings and furniture is packed days before so Starmer can take up residence immediately.
He became PM when he was appointed by the Monarch after Sunak tendered his resignation
There is no reason the US couldn't do it
We are only the size of Oregon though, so there's that added practicality.
@@dh1380 Americans love to drag things out, that's why it's hard for them. They love the drama and analysis of everything but, if it isn't there, they will make it 😏
No Honeymoon. We can't afford it.
What a greatest Achievement for Labour Party. I saw their face shining. I wish you all the very Best ®️
Congratulations UK 🇬🇧 hopefully the United States follows suit!! 🇺🇸💙💙
AMEN!
You mean the civility?
Absolutely. UK voter here.
Follows suit with..?
@@AC-tn9hg A bowler hat!, obviously
Its only Americans who say things like, Rishi Cannot be a PM for Christian country, bulabulabula, if that was a problematic, he wont be a PM in the first place. he would have to drop his candidacy for Tory leadership. UK is technically a CoE country, however ones religion in politic does not matter as long as the politician does not bring onto it, and system is remarkably religion free since 1950s. because God may be in everyone's heart, but politic is agenda's of human beings not God.
Absolutely spot on!!
Just wait until they hear Kier Starmer is an atheist! I know there's a fair few Americans who'd think that was even worse!
In all seriousness though, I'm relieved and delighted Rishi Sunak's heritage and religion played absolutely no part in the election. (save for a handful of odious Reform campaigners). It was all about policy.
The 34% that Labour got is really misleading, in my opinion. The two main left-of-centre parties got 34% and 14% respectively, but there was a concerted effort to coordinate the vote, so we could look at the two parties together as an informal voting block with 48% of the electorate.
Oh God not 48% again 😅
@@dh1380well you’d need to add the SNP, Plaid and the greens to the total left of centre vote share to get a whole left v right vote share comparison.
@@goldboy150, agreed.
The adults are back in the room.
No they are not. Wish the self righteous left would Stop saying this
But of flirting there. Professional flirting maybe. But Starmer Is the best news for us Brits. Hope it shows the USA that you could avoid another Trump presidency.
You’re having a laugh
@@tatumhildebrand5397you'd rather be lied to by a narcissistic psychopathic criminal intent on overturning the Constitution than be governed by a woman of colour. Interesting.
"Would there at least be honey?" - Winnie the Pooh
Australia has a centre left government.
labour's support may be a mile wide but it might be an inch deep. labour have to perform and quickly.
No change this guys a clown
@@danielsutcliffe7876 Why?
They're definitely up against it but I'm glad they're in
@@danielsutcliffe7876what does that make you, I wonder? Let me guess - someone who voted for Reform. _Ad hominem_ all the way.
So so happy we Greens got four seats.... FOUR SEATS!! We were only projected to get two!!
🎉🥳🍾🥂💚💚💚💚
Shame Re-Fascists got so many votes and seats!
Very happy to see the back of the Tories after 14 years!!
I'd love for an end to FPTP to give the Greens a proper shake of the tree in elections, but the thought of also handing 100 seats to Fuhrer Farage makes my blood run cold.
I'm hoping the Greens can learn from the Lib-Dem campaign model which was incredible. It could net you another 20+ seats next time!
Reform disowned one of theirs after the ballots went out, so technically they got 4 too.
2:45 "... the people who will be shaping policy coming here and _getting their marching orders_ from the new Prime Minister..." Either the Labour government is beginning in unprecedented chaos or the reporter is using this idiom very differently to that standard in British English (viz 'to get marching orders' = 'to be sacked'). I wonder whether his usage is common in US English.
It is but the meaning is rather different I believe, I.e. to be tasked with specific responsibilities, in a formal or authoritative way.
What will Mr. Starmer do about the Brexit mess? He says UK won't rejoin EU or join or the customs union.
They might tighten up a few loose ends but he's decided not to touch on that in the first term cos it's a really touchy subject over here. He's a massive moderate and main priority is to restore calm. Mentioning the B word here isn't the best idea at the moment. We are out and sadly a lot of us who wanted to stay in just have to lump it and scceot the fractured country it created or the right wing will throw their toys out of their prams and called u a woke snowflake yatta yatta.
@joefur1625 unfortunately this is a very fair summing up of the situation regarding Brexshit.
@@joefur1625yep, nailed it completely. I was devastated that we left
Rejoining is probably not really viable but fostering good will and good relations will count for a lot. It will reassure markets and enable more borrowing. Hopefully borrowing money can be used to regrow the middle class in the UK which will stimulate the economy and shift the GDP/debt balance.
Think we probably have to accept that Brexit is something we now have to live with, thanks to incompetent Tories.
There is a small minority on either side of that issue who want different things; one side wants it reversed, the other wants it enforced further.
However, the vast majority of people in the centre ground do not want that topic opened up again, because it paralysed debate in our parliament for years and caused such a backlog of domestic governance issues which we're now seeing the after-effects today (trouble with healthcare, social care, education, policing, law and order, etc).
So the issue is now regarded as something of a red herring, and to be quite honest if any politician tries to open that pandoras box, I suspect the public will punish them by stripping away voter support for them in the next election (which is usually how discontent is made clear here).
Historically we have generally been very efficient with our national spending (which permitted us to access good quality at relatively low cost), but ever since the financial crash in 07/08, I would say that the eye has been taken off the ball in that department and we've been throwing a lot of money everywhere with much of it being wasted unnecessarily; so it all needs correcting and tidied up once again.
The UK changing prime ministers like panties 😂
So... jump straight to the divorce?
Change starts now. Hopefully. 🤞 lol
In % terms it was a narrow victory , people voted the torys out more than labour in
Cope more, a landslide is a landslide
I don't think Starmer will be complacent on that score. He might seem dull, but he is competent and methodical.
Congratulations,
Wasn’t James Cleverly also black tho?
9:02 Is James Cleverly not black enough for Trevor?
Biden and Starmer are not the only center-left leaders in the developed world right now. Scholtz in Germany (social democrat), Albanese in Australia (Labor Party) and Trudeau in Canada (champagne socialist) come to mind.
yeh quite a lot of nonsense spoken in this interview
Add Norway, maybe not the most prominent.
Trudeau is a neoliberal not a socialist.
@David-bh1rn my endless tax rises and the hugely expanded welfare state beg to differ
Don't blink.
Now Trevor Phillips - what was that about Trump hearing about unkind commentary? 😏😶🌫
😊😊😊😊😊
You all are truly inspiring with your kindness. Thank you!
BORING!
I would have more confidence if he had gone to see President Xi first.
Trevor is all over the place.
😊😊😊😊😊
Biden and Starmer are not center left
They literally are. When Biden was a senator he was also considered center left. As for starmer he succeeded Jeremy Corbin who is progressive and starner is known to be significantly less so then Corbin
Starmer definitely is.
Biden is in the US.
Totally impressed by this.
!
From the sea to the river,
One leader, Keir Starmer!💪
he's not a GAZA terror man
Lier, no one. PM
🇬🇧Who Do You Think You Are.
Series 5 episodes 1-8♥️🇬🇧
will the new PM kiss the ring when he goes to the Palace? will they dress up as lambs and get excited about the upcoming crusade? will they trade alchemical secrets? will they wear suits of armor and talk about the "great architect of the universe?"
reality is a strange thing...
Not as strange as whatever goes on in your head, it would appear.
That's just the name of it, new PMs don't literally kiss the ring anymore - that hasn't happened for years!!
@@SarahTheNearlyInSP it is all allegorical, but you would be surprised how religious / superstitious the people in high positions of power really are... they understand better than anybody that the "whole world is a stage" / the cockpit of a plane and the lambskin seats for the pilots is the "most holy", where the people sit is the sanctuary / nave of a church is really a ship... knight orders wearing lambskins can be easily traced to 1430 and the order of the Golden Fleece, but it goes much much further back than that... this is none other than the lamb beast of Rev 13..
How many people do change so radically.
Idiots make their enemies and their negatives up
Sham pain. Thomas Paine.
Oasis then. Champagne Supernova lyrics. No honeymoon? Oh.
‘Cause people believe
That they’re gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world’s still spinnin’ ‘round, we don’t know why
Why, why, why, why
How many special people change?
How many lives are livin’ strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walkin’ down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
No honeymoon? 😅😅😅😅
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause people believe
That they're gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinnin' 'round, we don't know why
Why? Why? Why? Why?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
How many special people change?
How many lives are livin' strange?
Where were you while we were gettin' high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were gettin' high?
How monarchical. It’s the old Brain trust reality, once again. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
😊😊😊😊
So. I have taken the habit of talking to my CZcams tweaking self.
This will continue.
Well done to all those that voted in Great Britain's Elections.
Is that all you want to say?
Yes. I think so.
But what do you say about people who voted for Reform UK?
My first comment covered that. Well done for voting.
Lost of interest is my problem in possible voters.
I grind my teeth (My Teeth and how they got THAT way) when I hear lost of interest wins Elections for the total unsuitable to win election. Double Haters? What is that?
The change is spent and spent. Oh my word, here we go again, All he's bothered about is the migrates Who pays nothing in. Lets save Britain.
The brits has spoken,
The going out PM anit get no marks for gaza war or deporting Arab, he maybe born in Britain but hes not British
If you're born in Britain you are British
Omg no wonder sky news gone crap . dismantle the BBC and nationalise the media .
Uk version of trudeau. He likes open border.
on the other hand, we had liberal Obama deport more people than Bush Jr, Clinton, and Trump combined.
Controlled, yes, we're an island, it's a limited workforce. You getting people off of UC benefits and disability to chip in? We need others, get over it! 🙄
Hopefully they speak better English than you.
God help us , the IMF are rubbing their hands in glee
😊😊😊😊
Sir Tony Blair will be pulling Sir Keir Starmers strings- as will the World Economic Forum.
Change the record.
Absolute nonsense
“People wanted change”….hahahahaha….nothing will change.
I keep saying this too. I genuinely want to be wrong I really do and I wish Starmer well, I hope he can get things done but he’s sitting on a boiling pot that’s going to be very hard to simmer down
Labor is not going to be long.
Labor won't be at all. The Labour Party has a minimum of five years.
The People's Republic of United Kingdom will be a show to behold 👍😁
You'd better enjoy the 'honeymoon' mate...cos the hard lefties are skulking in the wings just waiting to oust you.
ENJOY YOUR WIN WHILE YOU CAN , ITS NOT FOR LONG ,YOUR FAKE
*you're
It'll be about 5, hopefully 10 years.
THANKS I WILL
SO DID STARMER BREAK THE COVID PARTY RULES BUT FOR SOME REASON HE GOT AWAY WITH IS CORRUPT .
Boris did not starmer lol
Police found Starmer had no case to answer.
Johnson, on the other hand...
Troll farms clearly outsourcing
Rishi cannot be a prime minister in a Christian country.
Actually Starmer is a professed atheist, so yeah one doesn't have to be Christian in a supposed Christian country.
Starmer isn't Christian and his wife is Jewish.
@@georgef822 Starmer grew up Christian but turned against it as he got older.
The uk isn't a Christian country like the US is it has separate church and state and freedom of religion for all member of society including leaders.
@@joefur1625Technically it’s a Christian Country. The head of state is the head of the church. There are bishops in the House of Lords. There is a law that states that all have freedom of religion.
Good riddance Sunak 👋🏻 Good luck Starmer. I only wish Reform got more seats, 5th seat just added in the recount!
only the start 2029 reform will be the opposition . Europe will be far right just watch the French sunday .
The Reform party are just more populist crap, the last thing Britain needs. Farage is happier licking Trumps butt
