I wonder where people are going to learn English? There is practically nothing available. From their phones I suppose.

I watched it, it was measured and well thought out.

Strangely, I did not get any feelings that he’s worried about Reform, but more worried about the people who believe Reform can succeed when we’ve heard nothing about the “how”.

I think our migration system is broken, I don’t know if this is the answer, we can only wait and see.

I did notice there was nothing about Asylum Seekers, but Starmer is right, “normal” migration has led to far far more people coming in legally.

Has anyone watched this?

He seems to have been rather worried by Reform’s recent gains in local councils.

So much for increasing social care, does he think that these vacancies can be filled from U.K. citizens?

The elephant in the room is of course his mantra of smash the gangs which he omitted from his speech.
