‘You’re right to be anti-Westminster’: anger at UK politics is justified, says Starmer

This year at the general election against the tide of cynicism in Westminster the daunt of fear the Tores will unleash and most of all the understandable despair of a downtrodden country I will ask the British people to believe in it again I will say you’re right to be anti- Westminster

Right to be angry about what politics has become but hold on to the flickering hope in your heart that things can be better because they can you can choose it you can choose the hope of national renewal the responsibility of service what politics can and should be and you

Can reject the pointless populist gestures the low road cynicism that the torist believe is all you [Applause] deserve

The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, has told an audience at the Bristol and Bath Science Park that people are right to be ‘anti-Westminster’ and ‘angry about what politics has become’

  4. Talk about stating the blooming obvious, but NO I do not trust Labour to fix the problems they have contributed to, especially since this fella has rolled back on just about every so called commitment he has ever made!

  5. It's about time we had a neoliberal in charge especially a member of the trilateral commission and fully paid up Davos fan. We're going to see change change change.

  9. This country is on the way down starmer or no one else will stop it, we still have a long way to go before we hit our rock bottom

  10. Who can vote for a leader who backs the killing of thousands of innocent Palestinian children and refuses to hold Israel to account. He is either too scared to stand up to the US or agrees with Churchill's views on Palestinian children.

  12. The Guardian and the BBC were more harmful to Jeremy Corbyn's campaign than the Daily Mail. They will be responsible for putting genocide-supporting Tory Starmer in number 10.

  15. Says the man who keeps backtracking on the things he says and promises. I wouldn't trust him further than I could throw him. The trouble is, there is no real choice – they are all rotten.

  16. Starmer is an untrustworthy politician – tried for 4 years to overturn the democratic vote of the UK electorate in 2016 referendum. Like Trump, Starmer is an insurrectionist

  20. Blair proved that labour can be as bad if not worse than the Tories …..don't get your hopes up…..but the Tories need to go if we stand any fighting chance avoiding oblivion ….it's a wing and a prey

  28. This is the first time in my life that I don't know which way to vote. This lot are no better than the current lot.

  29. It was a non legally binding vote which means what was voted for,
    by the general public, was for or against ADVISING Parliament to vote for or against brexit.
    IT WAS MPS IN PARLIAMENT WHO VOTED FOR BREXIT.
    It was never the people's decision. So the actual percentage who voted for brexit was miniscule.
