Says Starmer



Britain should talk itself up more, says Starmer on return from China

Britain needs to be better at talking itself up, Sir Keir Starmer said as he returned from leading a trade delegation to China.

Reflecting on his four-day trip to Beijing and Shanghai, the Prime Minister said the 54-strong business delegation had “a real sense of can-do” and a willingness to seize the opportunities China presents.

He told reporters on his flight from Shanghai: “They’re real glass half-full people and they see the opportunity.



A remarkable man, he doesn't appear to listen to anyone, even himself.

"Sir" Keir Starmer heads a government more interested in banning, censoring, regulating, legislating, restricting, supervising, controlling, procrastinating, finger-pointing, point-scoring, delaying, auditing, distracting, evading, postponing and misleading.

The glass is empty.

Or stolen.
