  • Keir Starmer has said that he is going to have to make tough decisions and "make them early" in his first news conference as UK prime minister.
    He said that prisons are an obvious example of an issue that needs to be addressed, "where other parts of the system are broken".
    On Saturday he chaired a cabinet meeting for the first time in Downing Street in which he said a "huge amount of work" was under way.

    People complaining that he's too dull and boring. A charismatic politician is the last thing this country need. We've had enough of the toxic spectacle and entertainment. This is exactly what we need, a boring government, no showmanship just doing the job exactly as it needs to.

    I didn't vote for Labour, but I'm nonetheless relieved that the UK turned the page on populism. "Boring" grown up politics is what we've needed so badly.

    I feel like I am watching a boring - normal leader from the 90s and I like it.

    I didn't vote Labour but Sir Keir Starmer actually sounds quite reasonable here.

    The fact that Millennials Genx and Genz have been handed a disaster economy is the biggest problem.

    He's much easier to listen to than the previous PM. He sounds genuine.

    starmer doesn't have the same charisma as other politicians, and his speeches aren't going to dazzle anyone, but he is a man who started from the bottom and worked hard to reach the top. we may be pleasantly surprised by his achievements as PM over the next 5 years.

    As an outside observer he seems more genuine and sensible that the clowns you have had the last few years . Best of luck👍

    A "changed" Labour Party are weasel words.
