What an odd video. Almost like a deepfake with sentences spliced together and lack of human warmth.

Can’t believe how uninformed people are. Do you realise that only 10% of Brits are rich enough to have to pay inheritance tax on their private estate? And here, people are crying that the richest 10% are asked to pay slightly more? Why?
Winter fuel allowance - again, why should richer pensioners get free energy when a family of five doesn’t. Poorer pensioners are still eligible…
Labour is trying to create a bit more equity and get funding for NHS and school, but everyone seems to think they’re being robbed

Yes yes, a 1000 yeses, well said.

Do we normally see his teeth quite so much when he talks 😬 It doesn’t look like him.

What do you expect he has the charisma of conker.😂

hedgehogsinthehedgerow · 24/12/2024 14:35

I like him. Rather have him in all his robotic glory than an attention seeking 'celeb' type like Trump/Farage/Johnson

@Alabamahotpocket I agree and he is handing it to farage on a plate. I can't wait!

Farage who called Truss's budget the best he'd seen in 30 years and then the economy crashed.

Starmer is a dud, but more Thatcherism on steroids isn't the answer either.

It'll be immigration that does for Labour. Our economy is a bust despite records levels of immigration

That isn't the official video, that is a weirdly edited version. The full version is in the link below, and is less zoomed in, was shot in one take, and doesn't have the weird music overlay.

Sick of hearing about the bloody pensioners freezing to death. Luckily, thanks to global warming they might all live

Quite and those same whingeing pensioners can't wait to tell you about growing up in cold houses with ice on the inside of the windows and hot bricks to warm the bed and how tough they were and are not like those soft students drinking coffee all the time and eating ready meals and takeaways.

Is that sort of comment your usual response when someone disagrees with you?

It’s a bizarre and passive aggressive comment to make-
Sadly lots of simmering aggy behaviour on MN these days.

His dad was a toolmaker.

Gosh, really?

Game0fCrones · 24/12/2024 14:42

I dont think its a bad speech, it's more the case that he's reading from an auto cue, so doesnt look natural, whoever has edited it has done a poor job and the camera appears to have some sort of skin smoothing filter on it.

Workingclasslass · 24/12/2024 14:44

A dodgy edited clip on daily mail, well no shit Sherlock I don’t have a problem with both versions anyway I think he seems a real person and I would rather trust him looking after a child then Boris Johnson or any conservative quite frankly and as for Nigel Farage as somebody right now who has been very ill getting district nurses twice a week I don’t want somebody who’s gonna sit inside with people like Elon Musk who are gonna end up privatising the NHS it’s okay for those people with money people like me we’ve no money we’re gonna get fucked over but that’s okay because apparently that’s what’s happening in America right now. You see many people voted for Donald Trump because he talked about Obama care But they didn’t realise that he was on about cutting Medicare and actually that means that so many of his supporters and now realising they fucked up and maybe us intelligent people should realise if you want less tax paid you’re going to get less state and we’re already on shit in this country things are not working

Is that real ? It looks like AI to me.

Locally there was a post on about these people needing a food bank and it was something to do with a lady who was looking after her grandchildren because her daughter has died and all the people that were commenting like well she shouldn’t be spending money on Sutts and such seem very old people so it seems very bizarre. They don’t like the fact that there are people using food banks but because of £300 they’re all gonna be freezing to death. It seems that they don’t care when it comes to younger people.

That would make sense given he's a tool.

Araminta1003 · 24/12/2024 14:27

He needs to get his teeth fixed and smile more after to look positive to make up for that monotone slightly snarly voice. Where are the PR experts? They need to give him a makeover.

They quit in the middle of Boris Johnson's makeover due to nervous breakdowns

Kill the vulnerable quickly by taking away their winter fuel allowance raising inheritance tax so he can get his grubby hands on their money

Don't be ridiculous. Do you honestly think that he wants people dead and if more money is clawed back he gets it personally?

You’ve been fooled again. Pensioners are the best off group in uk right now. Most sitting on gold mine. Inheritance tax is only for the very richest.

babasaclover · 24/12/2024 15:02

@Midlifecrisisxamillion I didn't say he gets the money personally - I am aware how it works

It's people like you making this so much easier, calling me ridiculous cause I have a different opinion to you.

ruffler45 · 24/12/2024 15:08

Lets be honest, he does not really want to be PM but he is there to stop the alternatives from being PM instead.

Was he, I've never heard Starmer mention that before, well I never!

There has obviously been a cover up. Why weren't we told?

Actually I haven't been fooled at all. I'm well aware of the make up of society.
