Whether or not my vote at the last general election helped or hindered his rise, I must say that Keir Starmer’s quiet style has been a great relief from what might be called the media-obsessed celeb style of politician (often surrounded by image masseurs) that has become increasingly obtrusive in recent years and is now exemplified to an extreme degree by Donald Trump. So there you have it, Keir Starmer is the polar opposite and long may he remain so. I suppose that we shall never find him trying to fill the airwaves with sensational garbage intended to distract attention from his failings. He pays attention to the job, not to we think of him. More power to his elbow, I say.
Martin Woodside, can you explain who exactly constitutes the foreign and the idle before hard-working British people?
I'm retired and have a state pension. so I assume I count as idle. How foreign do I have to be before Keir Starmer represents me? Would a London-born Grandmother take me into hard working British Category? Did she have to go out to paid work or did bringing up children make her a hard working British person? (She didn't live to get a pension as she was knocked down by a car in the street).
