Is anyone else thoroughly uninspired by Keir Starmar

[Tnib]

Keir Starmar isn’t even officially PM yet, just feel he’s uninspiring. I’m a former Labour Party member but just not sure he’ll actually be able to make our lives better. He hasn’t given us much of a vision to get behind. He’s no Tony Blair or Jeremy Corbyn. He’s just not Tory?!

Hoping he’s a great PM but not getting that feeling.

Well no he’s already worth 8 million, neither him or sunak were in it for money they are loaded

The speech was good, and has given me some hope.

His speech was great. Just what I needed to hear.

I enjoyed his speech, I do have hope that they can stop the rot. I doubt they'll turn everything around, I doubt the country will be as successful as they hope but one thing I do know is things will be better overall than if the tories stayed in charge. Solid and boring works for me.

I reckon the bumbling "posho" did it for people he acted like a human labrador! Just baffled me.

I think he's going to tax us into oblivion. Yay.

Exactly this! He’s a prime minister, not Taylor Swift. We had an ‘entertainer’ in Boris and that’s what charisma and performance over quiet substance gets you.

I do completely that it’s important to have a vision and to feel inspired by a plan, but there are other ways to be a leader.

I liked his speech too. I also liked how almost every sentence you could hear the underlying message - vs random slogans. I almost felt emotional.

So well put and made me 😂

I voted LD but thought it was a very good speech. I’m hopeful KS can turn the country around after years of Tory chaos, incompetence and corruption.

His words were inspiring. End the era of noisy performance. Calm and patient rebuilding. I have hope!

The country has gone to hell in a handcart these past 14yrs. We need someone calm and stable now to try to sort it out. I don’t want to be inspired by Keir Starmer, I want him to undo the mess we’re in

Agree. Decent, even if dull, is what this country needs. We've had enough clowns.

Politics being quiet! I think they will get louder unless quieter by suppression.

I don't actually have any faith in nice words now. I'm willing to suspend my cynicism for 6 months before I throw all hope to the wind. And that's as good as it gets.

This is a public forum and I'm entitled to post. You don't own Mumsnet!

So I’m a conservative voter - however I quite like Kier. I think he seems a decent man. I was torn who to vote for because I like him personally. I’m hoping on the global stage he’s not wet and is strong enough to go against the heads of other countries in such an unstable time.

Oh dear OP. Never mind, I expect something a bit more brutal will come along shortly. In the interim, KS will do nicely. It's great to see a grown up back in Number 10 and I expect he'll do well without your support.

Always comes across as not intelligent enough to me and too laid back.

When he said ‘We did it!’ I did inwardly cringe. It was very David Brent.

However he’s centrist and we needed to appeal to the Tory voters with a safe bet.
We have had 14 years of this circus.
Oh no, 10 percent of the population have schools who have to pay more tax! ( Tiny violin at first world problems)

Today is a better day than yesterday.

It's like he doesn't have his own thoughts or wants at all, he just flip flops around saying what he thinks voters want to hear, depending on who it is he's speaking to. Absolutely no idea whatsoever what the man truly wants.

Is he going to knock off at 6pm today?

Oh dear. Give it up, at least for a day. You can indulge your twisted thinking tomorrow when everyone's had some sleep and has enough energy to laugh at you.

Well it is Friday,,,

It doesn't matter whether you feel inspired or not. His bluff has been called and now it's show your hand time, cards on the table. Let's see. I predict more bollox, more moronic decisions and corruption.
