Does anyone else find it weird Keir Starmer isn't more visible this week? He hasn't held a press conference in days, wasn't obviously present at No. 10 after the Cobra meeting and won't recall parliament. Surely he can't have actually gone on his holiday when the UK is in meltdown?

I listened to a small 5 min video on youtube him saying about standing army and he looked and sounded like robot: there but not there, no emotion, no power, no nothing, few words

I don't care what he sounds like as long as he gets the job done. Dull and effective is fine. It's a nice change.

Made an announcement at lunchtime.

Why recall parliament? There's no need. There are no new laws that need passing to deal with this, nothing for MPs to do in the chamber. It'd be pointless.

Where is he? Presumably busy meeting with police and trying to keep on top of this. etc. He's not a showman.

Eh? He chaired the Cobra meeting and he's been discussing it on the news. He's made announcements regularly since this all kicked off!

You mean apart from the speech he made yesterday?
