I never thought anyone actually hated him! IMO a good many people just found him uninspiring and ineffectual.

That is lovely to hear. It was always clear to those of us living in France how much he was respected and what a good relationship the two men had.

Well done indeed, I'm sad to see him go, despite his faults he always had the countrys best interests at heart I'm sure.

Not everyone hates Sir Keir Starmer

Well done!

*”Sir Keir Starmer has been awarded the Légion d'honneur (Legion of Honour), France's highest national order. French President Emmanuel Macron presented the historic award in recognition of Sir Keir’s "personal leadership" in European security and the creation of the Coalition of the Willing to support Ukraine.

Sir Keir is the first serving British prime minister to ever receive the award. Macron bestowed the honor during a ceremony in Paris, noting that he found Starmer to be a "very reliable and friendly partner".*
