and whilst the pubuc sir keir starmer. rly mightily sick of the tories and it's probably healthy for the country to have a change, starmer becomes the prime minister with the lowest popular vote of any pm in recent political history, and a negative poll rating, according to yougov. just 1 in 3 brits have a favourable view of the labour leader compared to 54% of the public who do not like the guy giving him a score of —18. and he hasn't even started yet. astonishingly, the truly abysmal jeremy corbyn gained 3 million more votes in 2017 than starmer did on thursday . but 2017 than starmer did on thursday. but in the 2017 than starmer did on thursday . but in the spirit of thursday. but in the spirit of accepting and indeed embracing a political result, i heartily congratulate, congratulate sir keir starmer on what remains a remarkable achievement. he has dragged his party kicking and screaming towards the centre ground, though still noticeably to the left of tony blair. i might add . new labour 2.0. this might add. new labour

now sir keir starmer. or just call me keir, starmer. orjust call me keir, as he says these days.g after the first meeting of his new cabinet, the prime minister ruled out the controversial scheme, which had failed to deport a single migrant. two went voluntarily, though, didn't they ? right, okay, i you might they? right, okay, i you might have noticed because they're very loud, aren't they? still got my panel with me. wake up. matthew stadlen and darren grimes. thank you very much for hanging around. all right. >> you've taken the momentum. we were just getting into the swing of our punches. >> i can't, i can't actually tell you what we were discussing in the break from a bit of light relief, so rwanda, right? dead in the water. matthew, i'm going to come keep it crisp and sexy and full of impact. right. don't go on and on and on. rwanda. deadin go on and on and on. rwanda. dead in the water. >> awful policy, morally repugnant, completely impractical. wasn't going to solve what is a real problem. none of us want to see these boats coming. thank goodness it's gone. one of the mai

he offered these words about keir starmer.sagreements in this campaign, he is a decent, public—spirited man, who i respect. these were his last public remarks in high office. to the country i would like to say first and foremost, i am sorry. i have given thisjob my all. but you have sent a clear signal, that the government of the united kingdom must change. and yours is the only judgment that matters. i have heard your anger, your disappointment, and i take responsibility for this loss. he offered these words about keir starmer. whatever our disagreements in this campaign, he is a decent, public—spirited man, who i respect. these were his last public remarks in high office. this is a difficult day, at the end of a number of difficult days. but i leave thisjob, or not to have been your prime minister. this is the best country in the world, and it is thanks entirely to you, the british people — the true source of all of our achievements, our strengths and our greatness. thank you. in truth, he tried everything to revive conserva

sir keir starmer has come here.me last week he was staying in a b&b somewhere in the midlands i think tonight. and instead he finds himself being hosted by joe and jill biden for a glitzy white house dinner tonight. here in washington. that's right. so far, sir keir starmer has met with joe biden. they met their first handshake was in full view of the cameras at the nato summit just now , earlier we saw summit just now, earlier we saw him meet with olaf scholz, who's the german chancellor. the pair are quite good friends. he met quite interestingly with nick thomas—symonds, who is the for minister european relations. and that's quite interesting because of course, next week there's a big summit at blenheim palace in the uk when 44 european leaders will be meeting at hosted by sir keir starmer, and they'll be discussing how the uk will look in a post—brexit world. as sir keir starmer tries to reset that brexit relationship. but the idea of this, this the personal meetings we've seen, of course, also emmanuel macron g

and that is something that i think keir starmer has been | that i think keir starmer has been particularlywas change, one word. but throughout what labour had been keen to say was low, we cannot change everything overnight. things are going to take time, this is a long process. they've been talking about national renewal, a ten year process in some cases. what they hadn't been keen to focus on was the fact idea they could take the first step, six parties they would act on immediately. i think it is those that we are going to see those first few days in government really pushing on. things like cutting nhs waiting list, setting up investment for gb energy, the things that they are going to promise they will do as the first steps they will want to be seen to be making progress on quite quickly, to be taking action on quite quickly but without expecting that they can have change everything by next week. you that they can have change everything by next week-— by next week. you had john hutton sa in: that by next week. you had john hutton saying that they — by next week. you had john hutton say

keir starmer decided not to use a itible-— actually keir starmer decided not to use a bible. .,, . ,oose different ways of doing it. it's _ use a bible. people choose different ways of doing it. it's all _ use a bible. people choose different ways of doing it. it's all live - ways of doing it. it's all live streamed, you can see it's all done in order of seniority, so you end up with the cabinet, shadow cabinet, then done on when you were first elected — so the newbies come towards the end. but it's also worth saying that the people might be slightly confused because the state opening of parliament won't come for a while, and that's when everyone will know the king terms up and stands there and reach the king's speech —— the king turns up. but this isjust speech —— the king turns up. but this is just the speech —— the king turns up. but this isjust the reopening of parliament after the general election. �* , ,., parliament after the general election. �*, ,., . parliament after the general election. �*, . ., ., election. there's so much going on, we are recording _ election. there's s

josh spent three months following keir starmer on the campaign trail, getting to know him and those aroundperiences provide key insights, some might say, for predicting what kind of leader starmer might be and where he will stand on ideological and political issues. thank you forjoining us. some have said he already looks at ease, more comfortable now that he is actually in office. do you think he is going to, you know, disregard the ming vase and show the public who he really is? i vase and show the public who he reall is? ., ~' vase and show the public who he reall is? ., ~ ., , ., really is? i do think there was a lot of nervous _ really is? i do think there was a lot of nervous tension - really is? i do think there was a lot of nervous tension in - really is? i do think there was a lot of nervous tension in keir. lot of nervous tension in keir starmer and his team during this campaign, they were very tightly wound, i trailed them around the country from nuneaton to hard low to all sorts other places, portsmouth, they are cordial but they are tightly wound. they were very eyes on the pr

labour and keir starmer.icial business was to travel to buckingham palace where he met with the king. king charles, it's traditional, held in private but buckingham palace did issue this video of the moment. after that, it was a short trip back here to downing street and his new home 10 downing street. he and his wife victoria traveled the last few yards to that famous front door by foot. you can see from, greeting them from the passments are labour party supporters. they've been allowed into the street this morning for that celebration. keir then made his first speech as prime minister. >> from now on you have a government unburdened by doctrine, guided only by the determination to serve your interests, to defy, quietly, those who have written our you have given us a clear mandate and we will use it to deliver change, to restore service and respect to politics, end the era of noisy performance, tread for lightly on your lives and unite our country. >> so keir stormer has been pretty busy. he's wasted no time

but as you say, i did catch up with sir keir starmer. are you daunted, sir keir? sorry?keir? no. we've run an excellent campaign. a really positive campaign. we've been working for this for four and a half years, and tomorrow is all about change. and my message is, into tomorrow and all day tomorrow, if you want change, you have to vote for it. we're ready for change. we're ready to deliver. we're ready to serve. but that will only happen if we get the trust and confidence of people. if you want change, you have to vote for it. do you believe the polls? i think the polls don't predict the future. what matters is people going out tomorrow and voting, and it's very important that everybody across the country asks themselves the question, do i want change? do i want things to be better? if the answer to that question is yes then go out, go and vote and vote labour. thank you, sir keir. so, nick, it's notjust the polls, is it? it's what the conservatives have actually been saying. we have heard about the supermajority before but now they seem to be conceding some sort of his

well, i went to work for keir starmer three or four| work for keir starmer three or four days after hetivation was i thought we had had a longer period of really poor government in the uk and a period with a labour party that had largely exited the pits of serious politics. you know, arguably labour can win any election it chooses to, itjust has to choose to do it. i wanted to help keir bring the party back from the brink of a near extinction level, as the tories have extinct macro experience this week, back to being a credible alternative government. i did believe it was possible. i went back to work from him a second time in 2021 is the chief of staff, and i remember meeting donors who said to me it's all very well, but he's not going to win, is he? you are losers, you won't come back from this. you can't really believe it. i said no, we have left ourjobs, we have come to do this because there is a narrow route back. it is like that bit in the avengers movie where doctor strange looks into all the different futures and there's like 1 million futures and there's like 1 million futures
