"I want to see the government succeed in this: to save lives and protect livelihoods. This is a national effort and all of us should be asking what more we can do."
Sir Keir said Labour would"do our bit to offer solutions" but would also"speak for those who have been ignored", and expose mistakes, adding:"And let's be honest, serious mistakes have been made. "The public is placing an enormous trust in the government at the moment: it is vital that that trust is met with openness and transparency about those mistakes and the decisions that have been made."Sir Keir also said the UK should build vaccination centres in towns and cities so"the minute a vaccine becomes available, we can begin to protect the entire population".
"We should know what that exit strategy is, when the restrictions might be lifted and what the plan is for economic recovery to protect those who have been hardest hit," he added. "There will be many more difficult days ahead. Great sacrifices must be made because of a crisis that was unimaginable only a few months ago. But Britain is a great country and we will get through this."
Starmer has already made mistakes, his front bench is made up of Corbyn sympathisers!
Why can’t he just help sort the Coronavirus mess , then return to endless blaming. Sick of politicians
Hasnt taken long for starmer to pick up where corbin left off Critise every thing being wise after the fact Labour fuck wits
Will he address the failure to prosecute jimmy saville
I can't wait for your list of mistakes that the government made is this what you called constructive. Did last as long as G C,s kinder gentle politic
Criticising the Government right now will be the biggest mistake Starmer will make if he does that.
Once again labour party, you are so quick at blaming others for mistakes they've made or might make, instead why don't you as a party put your differences aside and help, it's a time that us as a United kingdom need support not bitchy backhanded comments and digs. Grow up.
Great start..NOT
Then Keir_Starmer can go and stuff his government of national unity up his own agenda 🙄
Oh and he can do better I don't think so ,labour needs to stop shouting at others and start trying to work together to get us through this plague because that's what it is !!!!!!
What does he know? What experts does he have to make these claims
It’s so easy to point out mistakes, hindsight is a wonderful thing.
🥱🥱
Hindsight is a great tool, its about how we get through this
OMG he comes the one who thinks he can do better. How about working together with the government. The one that people voted and under the circumstances are doing a great job.
Just been listening to Bore Starmers addres💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤
What are his credentials as a scientific adviser?
Hindsight is always a wonderful thing.
Yawn 🥱 here we go a new labour leader using a crisis to boost his party never mind the country or the 000’s dying ! Yep we are sick and tired of the far left/Islam party ! You need to shut up and watch how a real government acts in a crisis !
Dont know this man and already I don't like him why is he pointing finger should he not be thinking of ways to help forest in a time like this not that I particularly no Boris either but still now is not the time for points scoring starmer
Can’t believe there was serious mistakes. We have world pandemics ever week. Tories out. Get the anti Semitic in straight away.
Who?
Making absolutely no positive contribution to anything. No surprise there.
Look forwards not backwards.....unless it's going to be constructive. Now is not the time for petty point scoring & party politics. Plenty of time afterwards to learn how to do better if there is a next time.
Well at least he’s carrying the wanker torch high, that corbyn left him.
We don't give a shte what Labour loosers ha e to say. One minute 'I'll work with government' next 'let me tell you what they're doing wrong' prck Not one country in the world was prepared for this, its an experiment, look at Sweden.
Not now.
What has happened to sky news since it was sold
Wow , first day and trying to score political points ....not the time to begin has 5 yrs to do that should be working together or is that not the Labour way
UKLabour here we go new leader but same old labour trying to score points. Come up with effective solutions and people might listen otherwise get back in your box !
Here we go , remoaner man is off, just when we need to pull together typically labour want their politics first. Rat.
Labour can't even fix the momentalist virus in it's own party let alone coronavirus.
Suddenly hes an expert FFS do some proper journalism
Criticism ,criticism,criticism,criticism,criticism only criticism nothing positive nothing worth listening too. Nothing new. As. Jewish person you would have thought he would have stood up and be countered on against the ramped Labour policy
How exactly?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Seriously, Starmer should shut his pie hole.
Political point scoring from the new Labour leader, really.
Keir Starmer, head of the ‘coulda, woulda, shoulda’ Party.
Great that will help
Didn’t you learn from jeremycorbyn mistakes ? You don’t get nowhere from complaining and moaning on how the other party is running things! If you want to be a great leader try being supportive in this crisis instead of trying to score political points.
Great. Another Labour leader who's just going to moan. That should help the situation 👍
So helpful at this time, can he not just pull together right now and leave the mud slinging until later. This could not have been predicted and is completely out of the ordinary so do something constructive or shut up and go away
Easily done with the benefit of hindsight.
This bloke is full of 💩. No chance labour will get back in with him at the helm.
That’ll help 🤡
Cue the armchair experts.
Labour had one job - to elect an in touch leader. So...they elect a privately educated, multi-millionaire, knight of the realm, London-based Remainer.
Two things Starmer should address: 1) do not challenge the experts, you are clueless. 2) and keep Angela Rayner away from Boris.
Real important mistakes Corbyn McDonald Abbot Bailey starmer now sort this lot out.
Not a good idea at present, collect your evidence of mistakes and profiteering and keep it for the enquiry
You have the leader of labour a ' SIR' what a joke and a millionaire to boot. Can't really have a go at the Tories now can they!
All we need is someone who’s going to criticise. Positivity is required. People care dying here
Starmer will … carry on Labours grievance politics and Lie News will give it airtime.
Instead of the next leader of the Labour party just coming in and slating the Conservative party, as expected, as usual, why doesn’t he come in and in this time of community and time of much needed unity work WITH him.
A privately educated Lwayer leading the Labour Party, what could possibly go wrong?
Nobody is interested in him. Jog on
Keir_Starmer is here 5 mins and already an expert. Now is not the time for differences. Don't be a bellend like jeremycorbyn Keir. Work together on this. You are no expert on coronavirusuk
What a total twat ! So much for cooperation ! Another W⚓️ leading UKLabour
Erm, the guy on sky news press review saying Labour have finally got a grown up in charge? Starmer has only said what Corbyn asked for in relation to Covid. The problem being people like him shot him down. Who did he say wasn’t a grown up?
In who’s opinion? Using what basis of information?
A knight of the realm, a QC and now an epidemiologist! Truly the people's champion is a force to be reckoned with...
People...This is just a false headline from a news station that dislikes the Labour party.
Looks like Labour Party continues as ever, oppose everything.
But what he means really... I’m going to work with the government and score political points wherever I can during this time. Because my own self obsession and promotion is as important as saving lives.
criticising instead of pulling together at a time of crisis just makes Starmer appear self-interested and weak.
He says this but doesn’t explain what the mistakes are. In fairness all countries have made mistakes... when you have the power of hindsight. Yes we should have more PPE, but maybe with hindsight we should have banned arrivals from China when this started.
Labour are a ‘serious mistake’. Dull Starmer must back the Government & work with then during this crisis. It is not the time to score political points, this will backfire on him. The good news is that wretched Corbyn is confined to the shadow back benches.
I'd address the serious issues in your own lot first
thank fuck labour weren’t in charge we’d be fucked
Of course he’s an expert isn’t he.
How come big mouth is only bringing it up now just think how many lives he could have saved with his expert advise .
I think I preferred it when there wasn't an opposition. Something not right about a socialist party being led by a Sir Political elite wealthy lawyer who thinks he knows it all and wants immediate answers. Just like a tanned multi millionaire Tony Blair giving us all his wisdom.
2 minutes in the job & annoying the British public already ! BorisJohnson & his team are doing a fine job guiding us through this nightmare..... coronavirus covid19
Get back in your fucking box........
If thick barstewards hadn't kept voting for whoever the Murdoch media empire told them to for the last 40 yrs we'd have a fully staffed, properly equipped NHS that would have already made a huge difference Keir_Starmer is another Blair - a Tory in disguise
This is not the time for playing politics & the blame game.
Yes, yes, yes, we know there have been mistakes, but instead of criticising do something about it!! Nurses and doctors and essential workers are dying because our government is inept, PPE should be an absolute bloody right if you are a health professional.
Oh here we go...bring back jeremycorbyn ...no actually don't do that... No one can be as bad as him!
...Hey ....can you ask KierStarmer if he can help with the definition of QUISLING...?..as in COLLUDING WITH FOREIGN POWERS..?..
Coarse he will .... standard wank from Labour... 🙄🙄
