I remember a poster who was regularly linking to his videos.

Catching up with Starmer's speech, I am quite impressed, it was good.

It was good to see him speak with passion and show some emotion

He was more personal.

I agree. It was impressive and strong especially when addressing racism. I had something in my eye.

No glitter this year though.

Great speech today

Loved it. Back in business and there's more to come. I'll be happy to join the door knocking now for Labour.

No glitter, plenty of flags

Just listening to Farage who is going full Trump and complaining about hurty words.
He doesn’t like being called an ‘enemy’, he thinks it’s inciteful language.
Pot, Kettle, Black.

I was just thinking that, Farage crying about Starmer's speech is a great compliment.

Oh bless

Wow, maintenance grants making a limited comeback, rights for care workers considered worth representing, passion in a conference speech…..are Labour finally waking up? I really, really hope so!

From a man who went to Congress to ask them to sanction the UK.
Seems like the sort of thing an enemy might do.

So it’s ’free speech unless they are nasty about me’ is it Nige? What a nasty piece of work he is.

Aww, Nigel . Let me correct that for you.

It's insightful language.

Aw, the thought of Farage crying into his gin makes me very happy. He probably doesn't really care what Starmer says about him, he's just playing to his dewy-eyed supporters.

🤣

I loved it too & poor Nige crying about it has made it even better!

Did anyone hear the caller to Sheila Fogarty who had his own careworker business, mixed race, gay saying it’s been hard with the rise of minimum wage & NIC he was thinking of moving abroad but he listened to the speech and he was actually on his feet! He said he wasn’t going anywhere he was going to stay & fight for his Country?

He was absolutely smashing!

The phrase "girly man" springs to mind.

It's basically playing him at his own game. And it's rather cornering him to either put up (which he has to, and therefore invite more truth) or shut up.

I suspect team Starmer are watching team Newsom very closely.

Leave Canadian Lumberjacks out of this!

Aw, look at his sad little face. Rushing on to X to whine about people saying nasty things. What a pathetic specimen.

😂😂😂

ive missed the speech but im glad it was good and even better that it pissed farage off 🤣

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I heard that - he was great. Lovely guy.
