Kier and Kemi showed the best of British politics today

I do miss the days that every political interaction was like that. We’ve become so nasty in politics these days, it’s nice to see some mutual respect again.

That's fair enough.
It's nice to see someone have something positive to say about the change rather than just hoping it will trigger an election.

I'm unsure but willing to give him a try (not much choice to anything else at this stage)

I disagree with Starmer's politics and I think he has failed as a PM in many ways, but I don't think he deserved to be stabbed in the back . I also think fundamentally that both he and Kemi are decent, intelligent human beings who want the best for the UK, but differ on how to achieve that. Yesterday's PMQ's showed that. I thought Kemi was respectful and amusing.

I'm watching yesterday's session for the first time. It was nice to see the joviality in the house, along with Starmer's accolades to his constituents. Badenoch did well in gently pushing her questions about Burnham. It was a 'leaving party' full of grace. He wasn't PM material but he gave it his best shot. I wish him well in the foreign arena.

It was nice to end on a warm note and I agree Kemi's was a good performance. I think you might be looking to the past through rise tinted glasses if you think PMQs was polite pre-brexit though!
