Starmer's No 10 speech in full

I think he deserves it today Rekarie! He’s probably had no sleep for at least 36 hours.

I doubt he will have finished appointing his cabinet by 6pm sharp......

Very good speech.

I wonder if he'll down tools at 6pm today?

An excellent no frills or gimmicks speech. After the Boris bandwagon it will make a refreshing change.

Excellent speech. Statesmanlike. Great things to come. Thankfully we are now in the hands of a good man. I hope his team don't let him down.

It was a very good speech. He said actions speak louder than words so I hope to see some positive action from him and his party.

I loved his speech, and I thought Sunak was very gracious and genuinely humble.

His father died a long time ago I think.

Dont know, JJ, a hankies out moment.

I felt very proud also for both Sunak and Starmer that they were able to see and greet like that, too I expect security at end of street very high.

Was the man with the sticks his Father? and the lady with the blue hair his sister?

I thought it was a very optimistic speech and it gave me hope

An excellent speech, I thought.

He will work hard to mend this country - for the good of everyone. He’ll bring honesty and integrity back into politics; as he said ‘we’ve had enough of performance politics’.

the Times reports

“Keir Starmer will get on with appointing his Cabinet, which we expect to be done by the end of today.

“Certainly the whole Cabinet. That Cabinet will meet tomorrow. And he will have to quickly allocate those responsibilities, give his new Cabinet their marching orders and then there’s big international events coming.”"

So key appointments through the day
