Let’s hear it for Sir Keir Starmer

Watching Camilla over the years, I suspect that she will have the most difficulty trying not to laugh.

Oh dear, I think you may be right! He's not funny at all but he does have that effect on some people.

Yes, well done Sir Keir, you've proved to be a steady hand on the tiller and yes, well done Charles too, this is when the Monarchy comes into its own.

I'm so delighted that Sir Keir is proving (thus far anyway) all the doubters wrong.
He seems like a a very decent man, whose willing to stand-up &
do the right and honourable thing in his treatment of the very brave Presisdent Selinski.
Watching the debacle of Trump & Vance's treatment of the beleaguered President Selinski on the news was heartbreaking!
They acted like a couple of low-life school bullies towards him!
Truly awful.🤔

Starmer is the right personality to deal with Trump who is hot headed irrational and unstable. Keir Starmer is the opposite of this.

Yes, a calm leader is just what we need just now. It's probably what the USA needs,too, but..

We always heed a calm and effective leader. Circuses must be found elsewhere. After all, KS is still the same person.

I think Ukraine has become his Falklands.
He has stepped up though.

Calm in the face of adversity.

I've not been impressed by Keir's delivery of speech, he's not hugely charismatic and he just never showed much passion.

Which could be seen as a negative, but this is proving him to be exceptional in dealing with this chaos that's unfolding.

So yes, the man deserves a medal for maintaining composure and I never thought I'd say this, we're lucky he's in charge

Yes, a great performance by our PM and King. Really showed how it should be done. I am sure KCIII will step up to the mark when Trump arrives. They are well prepared for such occasions. Better keep Anne away though. Maybe KS will get the Nobel prize.

He has earned this praise.

In the Tom Baldwin biography, he says something along the lines of the fact that Keir Starmer has been under-estimated, then over-performed all his life.

Yes, a calm leader is just what we need just now. It's probably what the USA needs,too, but..

And I totally agree about Camilla, Whitewavemark2!

There are a number of different routes people can go down. One is to ramp up the rhetoric as to how outraged we all are or not,” Starmer said, adding that the other route is to “roll up my sleeves” and call the two countries’ presidents and find a path forward

Hear, hear, Keir. Let's hope the media and socials will give his way a go.

Watching Camilla over the years, I suspect that she will have the most difficulty trying not to laugh.

At last, he came good.

But can he keep it up?

And three cheers for the king. Monarchies do have a purpose! They dazzle the dumb(Trump) and offer solace to those who have been bruised.

Yes I believe Starmer spoke with Charles about this meeting and he was happy to do it, with photos showing how comfortable both Zelenskyy and Charles were with each other.
I very much doubt the same will be true of a state visit by Trump, I imagine Charles and Camilla are dreading it.

Yes in the midst of what is a confusing and difficult time Starmer came to the fore and proved he can be the grown up in the room.

He has stepped up when needed 👏👏👏

Let’s hope that all the meetings and negotiations are fruitful.

I agree 100% with you Whitewavermark2. Sir Kier has shown himself to be a statesman.

Absolutely - well done Mr Starmer 👏 👏

A very stable and sane man who is ‘boringly’ unflappable in a volatile situation
