I shook hands with him yesterday in the Lobby, I congratulated him but I don't really know him.

Starmer put the country back on the international stage, we put the economy back on its feet, dealt with child poverty, improved the NHS in England at least, and increased the average wage.

Well there is the voters, and they will have also have to take this responsibility, not just Labour members.

The message was quite clear in Makerfield, Scottish and Welsh elections, that people were personally blaming Starmer that no progress was being made in their daily lives.
