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.
The glass is empty.
Or stolen.

Sir Tears Karma enjoys "cracking down". Just as well since there's no other context in which he and "cracking" would appear in the same sentence.
"Sir Tears enjoys cracking a joke" nobody ever said.
And yet Stumbler is bound by the nature of the Civil Service and legal system that he chooses to surround himself with.
A Civil Service with a 'won't do' ethos is not going to welcome an entrepreneur mindset in others. Too much danger of 'can do' people slipping out from under their thumb perhaps?
dearieme - yes he does enjoy "cracking down". Apparently his attempts to crack a joke in the HoC are painfully wooden.
DJ - and he seems to approve of the Civil Service and it's turgidly cautious ethos and doesn't like the idea of anything being independent of the State.
