Year when our country stepped into a new era with a new King King Charles III crowned in the spring it has also been another tough year economically for millions of people and beyond our Shores a time of great insecurity with war still raging in Ukraine and enormous suffering in Israel and

Gaza the labor party will do everything we can in 2024 to push for a political solution to that conflict a secure Israel alongside a viable Palestinian State a hope that may be fragile but that must be kept alive because there is always power in that word hope it is the fuel of change

The oxygen of a better future and this year in Britain the power to shape the future of our country will rest in your hands in the labor party we’ve been building to this for four years we’re confident we have a plan that can move our country forward end the cost of

  2. Amazing that people cannot accept the last 4 years as the most corrupt inept self serving unaccountable Govt in history.
    That’s not praise for Labour, just recognition of the fact that no one with an ounce of honesty could suggest that anyone could do worse

  5. No it fkin doesn't he knows fine well that everything is fkin rigged Prime Ministers are put in place not fkin voted in place by ordinary working people this is the way it works do people really think that when they go to vote its going to make any fkin difference

  9. If anyone seriously thinks that the country will be better with Labour in power …then just look to Wales !!!!…be careful what you wish for 😟😟😟…

  10. But i wouldn't want the future to rest in the hands of Starmer and his cohorts. Perhaps we people need to be
    revolutionary and vote for an emerging party like Reform. Can they really be any worse?

  11. Vote for ULEZ, open borders, grooming and mutilating children, the end of women’s safety and sports, antisemitism and even higher taxes. I guess when people say politicians call us stupid. They’re right.

  12. You don't stand for the working man or woman, Starmer. Get back to the Trilateral Commission, you globalist shill.

  13. Thank you Mr Starmer,we will not vote for you as you’re not the right person to be the leader of our party. You have already sold the party for 6 Million pounds which you have collected from the Israeli lobbyists and others. you are complicit in the death of 8000 Palestinian children. GOODBYE.

  15. When you watch that message you can just tell he has got nothing about him he’s just telling you what he thinks you want to hear but will end up doing nothing which will benefit the people outside of their elite club

  17. The future of Britain has NEVER been in the hands of the people because every time we vote in a Party we are betrayed and Mr Starmer will follow suit

  20. Stamer is absolutely right the future of our country is in our hands.but voteing labour or conservative will be a disaster our country will be filled even more with immigration that brings a culture and religion that is nothing like our ways .the one and only way to stop this and protect our country is to vote reform uk.

  24. Wouldn’t vote for either while I’m living under an electric blanket frightened to put my heating on , under the threat of further rises in the cost of living come the new year .p—s off .
    Reform uk

  28. But it won't make a difference who we vote if Labour stay right wing. Between them and the Tories, we're being given the 'choice' between fries from McDonald's or fries from KFC. Vote Green, they're all we have left.

  30. Your not looking too well starmer … Looking very pale ..i suggest you increase you iron levels especially the end of each month ..KEEP THAT RED FLAG FLYING ..!🤔thanks for the offers on behalf of labour party but along with the conservatives you lot aint getting into power ..what we need is total reform politically and fiscally .. even the nurd from BOE dont know what he's talking about ..✌️💯🇬🇧🍻

  31. The future is in the hands of the voters?…..what happened to the lobbyists, special interest groups, military industrial complex, big business, and the central banks? I was under the impression that these entities carved up our futures, in what ever fashion they see fit and profitable going forward?

  32. Definitely not in your hands Kier, your a Zionist supporting fraud. You are a liar on the wrong side of history. You have lost the support of millions if voters and you will be voted out

  34. I'd vote Reform in a shot (I'm going through a 'protest vote' phase) if their policies didn't also look like they're for the global fossils-trading establishment. One of the GB News guys had a spasm of insight during one of their shows recently and said "it's not fossils – one of Saturn's moons has loads of hydrocarbons" before the other two called for his nurse. If they backed Net Zero but with tailpipes, gas CH, and every other carbon-based industry fed by 'petrochemicals' synthesised from air-captured carbon and North Sea wind, with massive exports leading to well-paid jobs all round, I'd happily overlook that they're them. In fact, 'recarbonisation' – all the stuff we currently make money with – all from net zero synthesis is what buys my next vote.

  35. Dont vote labour unless you want to be islam in 2 years just imagine having alot of sadik khans ruling,all religions and the natives will be abused

  36. we're waiting for that otherwise I leave the country
    the prices must be goings down to the normal and the housing laws need to be sorted because is a very similar than in Rwanda
    the money's should be paying for the poorest families £800 a month like the support incomes
    the laws need to be sorted because at the moment is unbelievable broken and corrupt with the corrupt justice system.

  38. The great man Enoch Powell was much loved by the public and hated by Marxist leaning students. He warned us but the Elites had already decided to change Britain without the voice of its people. In fact propaganda on tv was to show British people as bigots if they feared being taken over. Now we have Cities ran and controlled by a certain demograph. Imagine 2050 and beyond . The political parties have given our Country away. Tv and Advertising telling the young to homogenise and encourage interracial relationships. So the Ethnic cleansing of Britain continues. We know Blair wanted to crush the right with open borders . The Tories wanted to take control of the lower classes through a low wage economy by their CBI and Civil Servant masters. Traitors to the British along with good king Woke who will damage the institutions of Britain permanently

  39. At this point they must think we are that stupid we don't feel and see and live with what's going on that we need him to tell us anythings in our hands, it don't matter who you vote for the selection has already been made and your vote counts for diddly!

  40. If you're unhappy with the Tory, wait for Starmer to get into office and you'll despise him, as all he would do is to parrot that the Tories have left an economic mess behind and that it would take time for them to sort it out. I've always voted Labour, but there's no way I'll vote this lame duck Labour under the dictatorship of this dishonest and lying figure.

  46. You are wrong, so very wrong Mr Starmer, stop blowing smoke up the British publics’ orifice’s, Britain is in the hands of the politicians, the public couldn’t make as much of a pigs ear if they were running this country at this time, as both the Labour and Conservatives have done between them since WW2.. Make no mistake to date you ALL have failed us miserably on both sides.

    I have to mention your parties’ childish name calling at the opposition, the bitching, witch hunting members of the opposition and bullying which sets a bad example to young people and anti establishment supporters. Lead by example man!

    Both parties need to come together for the sake of Britain and find solutions to help this country.

    Let’s face it, Brexit has failed miserably because neither party want it and hope it will go away if they ignore it. Forget what the public voted. Again, ignore public opinion as Tony Blair did with Iraq!

    Your party has even sunk to the lower depth of awarding Tony Blair with a Knighthood, a prime minister who ignored the tax paying public and invaded Iraq illegally. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars together cost the tax payer approximately £20.3 billion altogether and very little, if anything, has changed for the better over in those countries. In fact the terrorists have taken over in some parts of those countries to the detriment of the women and girls. How does Blair sleep at night? No really, how?

    How much good could that money have done if spent wisely in the British public domain i.e. building homes, securing our borders, providing NHS dentists, improving the NHS hospitals in the UK, by increasing our police force and our military.

    Blair and Bush opened Pandora’s box in the Middle East and while Blair has armed police protection 24/7, paid for by the very people he ignored, the tax payer. The tax payer now have to take their chances when terrorist attacks happen, which will always be a threat to us all.

    Not only that, your party has been blocking the opposition from finding solutions to stop illegal immigrants and fake assylum seekers flooding into our country sneaking nonchalantly through the back door and walking nonchalantly through the front door, some of whom have disappeared into the ether and others, who are criminals, have formed gangs around the UK. One criminal being deported even mocked the border patrol because despite deportation he had managed to get back into the country under different names 5-times to carry on his criminal activity. He laughter and said he’d be back again and again in the future. We’re a laughing stock. For Gods sake, both parties need to get their acts together and quick!

    The men and women who died in WW2 for us will be turning in their graves because they died to save us. You politicians March to the Cenotaph to lay your poppy wreaths every year, but it looks from where I’m sitting that your only paying lip service, because you’re allowing illegal immigrants into Britain. who potentially could be terrorists planning to attack from within. You can’t make it up.

    Also, it’s alright for you in your guilded cages, you don’t have to live with the crimes on the street which have been committed by some of these people i.e. rape, sexual assault, violent assault and even murder. We have our own criminals to deal with.

    The asylum seekers were laughing at us as they queued up at our airports this Christmas, waiting to board planes back home for Christmas at the tax payers expense! You just cannot make it up, you politicians are over paid jokes!

    Now we have the Woke infiltrating this country, putting our children’s health and mental well being at risk and railroading through our English language, literature and our society. No politicians is addressing it, WHY?

    You didn’t help when you were interviewed and asked if some women have penises and you said you didn’t know, what does that tell us about your moral compass?

    The lot of you should hang your heads in shame.

  47. Herr Starmer (Yes it is a German name)….Is headed for number 10 where his first task will be to hand out passports like confetti to migrants in the biggest ever advertisement for migrants to break into Britain…With Tony B.Liar as his adviser he will then set about turning his party into New Labour 2.0 and completing the ruin of Britain that was started in the Blair, Brown and Mandelson era….Things can only get worse….

  49. "Enormous suffering in Israel and Gaza". How about the enormous suffering of Palestinians? How about recognising that Palestinians do most of the suffering and have done for decades.
