As Sir Keir prepares for his first in-person conference as leader, we look at the promises he has made.

aimed at convincing the Labour membership he was the right person for the job, and the very first sentence appeared to echo his predecessor, with a promise to "maintain our radical values".

He also made it clear to the wider public he would be moving away from the Corbyn era, saying the party "cannot go on with business as usual" and "where we have to rethink, we will rethink". In the first days of his leadership, Sir Keir held meetings with Jewish groups, vowed to set up an independent complaints process and called for a report on all outstanding cases within a week., who said he had "achieved more in four days" than Mr Corbyn did "in four years".

And while his forensic, solicitor-like approach at the dispatch box won him plaudits when he did challenge the government -- some in the party questioned whether he had been too soft early on.

Are you having a fucking laugh.

No.

😆

How about doing this guy next, you know balance?

I loathe him

Hahahahahahaha

Bizarre article. Why not list his 10 pledges and show his and his shadow cabinet's words on these topics since. Instead meandering non-sequiturs about antisemetism which omit to mention his record of suspending Jewish members.

The title alone means he does not have the roots for a labour leader.

No ... simple 🤷‍♂️

AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Where’s the same article about boris? Pointing out all the times he has lied?

Yes

Who is Sir Keir Starmer?

Has he got any?

In football parlance - he has lost the dressing room. The Tories should be ripe for a roasting every day just now, & as the De facto opposition he should be getting torn in both in Commons & in the press/social media.

Asks the organisation who has ignored pretty much every lie and contradiction from the Tory government.

He’s not PM and has not faced a general election, so it’s ever so slightly irrelevant right now. Now do the same for Boris and have a competent journalist write it from a balanced perspective without it all being “done the best he could in the circumstances” BS

Has Boris Johnson?

Please report the fatal and devastating failures + lies of BorisJohnson + his band of inept charlatans! We are suffering right now in multiple ways from that! They provenly lied towards ‘romping’ to victory + have broken multiple promises since, + caused avoidable death!

And your corresponding side by side report on ‘Has the current Government stood by its pledges?’ …..?

Not yet Needs to crack on now

What about doing a similar article about Johnson, for the interest of balance.

The only pledges he uses is out of a spay can trying to wipe away his increasing list of gaffs haveigotnews What did our Rumpole of the Bailey sweep under the carpet so they made him a sir. He needs to switch paradigm and stop solving the problem of the past. Yesterday's man

Who?

You haven't even looked at his 10 pledges. Awful article. But the answer is no, he hasn't stuck to his 10 pledges.

Who is he again?

No real Labour supporter believed anything he said from day one, he is not a socialist just an NEC puppet. We need a leader that can inspire our members, develop policies to help the working man and the nation. We really do not want or need another Starmer.

He hasn't stood by anything except Boris Johnson.

Have labour tret ill disabled like shit. Have labour put vat up or taxes have labour made bedroom tax etc

He is pointless

Have torys.

Never noticed any pledges!

What a ridiculous, sycophantic article.

That’s a no I’m guessing

He has none. He's more of a non-entity than I am.

Is “not sticking to his pledges” a problem when we have a government that can’t go 3 minutes without directly lying to us

His pledge as a knight of the realm YES

no.

Has Boris Johnson stood by his pledges?

He pledged to continue Corbynism to get elected and then threw Corbyn out a few months into the job. So not the best at sticking to pledges.

I haven't seen you asking the same question of BorisTheLiar Johnson? But then again, you are the Boris Broadcasting Corporation. Incidentally I just saw Sky news saying the fuel shortage and lack of lorry drivers is partly down to BREXIT, don't recall you reporting that?

curious how he can keep to his pledges when hes not got the power to even implement them.

If has any.

No.

Somerset Council Chief Exec and public health director must be SACKED for the Somerset roadworks shambles lasting over 7 months and TORTURING AUTISTIC PEOPLE. I HAVE JUST BEEN WOKE FROM MY BED AT 1AM SATURDAY MORNING

This isn’t a question, it’s bait for an answer, which is ‘no’

what were they ? if it was to be the most uninspiring boring leader in history then yes.

TL;DR: No.

Like Starmer this says nothing except attack the left and provides no answers.

No. In some cases he's done the exact opposite imo

Has this catastrophic Tory government or indeed 10DowningStreet stood by their promises? Indeed not time you stood up to the tories.

'And while his forensic, solicitor-like approach at the dispatch box won him plaudits when he did challenge the government...'. Did you mean to say Barrister?

No he hasn't. He has renegade on every thing he stood for during the leadership election. The only ones that still seem to support him are Blairites and EU flag shaggers even though he shafted them by voting for BoJo's brexit deal.

Who cares? He’s not in govt.

Have you asked the same question about Boris Johnson who is in a position to enact his?

No EU immigrants No tax rises No cutting triple lock on state pensions No cutting international aid Has Johnson the clown?

Can't wait to see you ask the same question about Boris

No one cares
