Tapper to Keir Starmer: How are you going to fix the UK economy?

Oh my he's boring.... how BEAUTIFUL that is.

that's funny cnn guy says UK's health care is broken, so what do you call american health care?

Even a "broken" UK healthcare service works far better than NO universal healthcare service in the US

Comes off as humble, respectful, composed, actually answered the questions, no mixups or gaffes, and didn't take any chance to badmouth the other party. Man I miss the days when our politicians were like that. Also, the US is the last country that can talk about a broken healthcare system lol

Did an American just say UK health care is broken 🤣

Critics pan Starmer for being boring, but damn is that man intelligent and articulate. He actually answers questions openly, while developing an argument that is convincing.

I'm not sure he can do it all but he doesn't seem to overpromise, either. It's obvious that he's playing the long game here.

"Country first, Party second." Exactly. If only America's Parties could manage that discipline.

He seems quietly competent. I wish my UK mates all the best, hope it works out.

Compare this man to the music hall act that was Boris Johnson. We might actually get five years of competent administration this time.

You finally elected a normal, intellectually interesting, human being instead of the usual clowns. CONGRATS GB!!

Why can't the U.S. find a leader who can string 2 sentences together?

One of his first appointments was to run the prison service a businessman who is a conservative but has dedicated a huge amount of time to rehabilitating ex offenders and employing them. It feels good to have a serious government again but time will tell. As for the NHS it is broken but everything is relative, you’ll struggle to find anyone in the general public here who doesn’t cherish the NHS. I don’t think we can grasp what it’s like to live with US healthcare and vice versa but from what I’ve seen from Americans who’ve moved here it’s mind blowing and that’s not about what the hospitals look like or how you’re treated but the fact that you never have to think about it, if you’re sick you go to the doctor, if you need an ambulance you call an ambulance, there are never any other considerations.

Compare these answers to how either major U.S. candidate does in an interview. 😳

How delightfully, perfectly British is Keir Starmer. He looks like he should be Prime Minister.

My mum is having first rate cancer care by heroic doctors and nurses. The care has been incredible. The system may be broken but the staff are still providing first class care for those who need it despite all the damage the tories have done. For the first time in 14 years we have a serious, sincere, decent leader at the helm who really does seem to care for the people of the UK over party politics. Europe is going to need a stable UK more than anytime since the second world war, especially as we wont be able to depend on the US for support if Trump and his right hand man get into the whitehouse.

Jake, you're not going to trip up Starmer as he is brutally efficient when it comes to detail and detailed answers.

Keir will make a very good PM

I’m a conservative but I like Starmer as a person. Good guy as far as I’m concerned. Wishing him the best in his term but I hope he is sensible about immigration and doesn’t raise taxes too much

Our healthcare broken? Perhaps it isnt the best especially when the tories were in power. But when i was hit by a car i was in a hospital within 5 minutes and home that same night. Costed me £0. No worries, no debts. Plus, id rather someone treated me because they care about caring. Not some quack who'll say anything just to get another paying patient in quicker
