He also took action against Russian interference, didn't specifically mention Brexit but this policy document is worth a read.

Starmer voiced his opinion on Brexit many times, he said this in December 2025, not having a dig at you or Burnham but it's really not fair to suggest Starmer didn't voice his opinions about Brexit.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

He wasn't quieter he just has a different style, this is what he said in December 2025 and it wasn't the first time he'd called it out. He took office after 14 years in opposition, he had plenty else to get on with but still spent time repairing our relationship with the EU27.

This isnt a dig at Burnham but I'm sick of people pretending Starmer has done and said nothing about the EU27 and hurrah for Andy. Both Starmer and Reeves have talked about the damage done by Brexit. Starmer has worked his socks off repairing our relationship, it's disrespectful to him and others.

There hasn't been a political omerta, Starmer said this in December 2025 and Reeves said this in a speech in May. Starmer came to power after 14 years in opposition, he had to rebuild and repair our relationship with the EU27, Burnham is continuing what Starmer started,

It is good news but the door was already opened by Reeves and Starmer, I do get annoyed when everything they've done is brushed aside. Obviously under reported by all as nobody seems to have noticed it is a speech Reeves made in May about the damage done by Brexit, here's a snapshot.

Under reported obviously but Rachel Reeves said this in a speech in May, the door was already pushed open by Reeves and Starmer good to see Burnham continuing what they started. See also Russian interference, Starmer was already on the case.

And just to annoy you 😉 this is what Rachel Reeves said in May this year about the damage done by Brexit. I've no problem praising Burnham but I do have a problem with people pretending Starmer did bugger all for 2 years. There's a reason Macron awarded him the Legion d'Honneur.

He took the party from the worst defeat in living memory to number 10 in 4 years, this is what he delivered in 2 years in office. If you're so blinded by your dislike of Starmer you're incapable of acknowledging his achievements you're not worth a nano second of my time.

The Starmer achieved nothing brigade are out and about today, I make absolutely no apology for posting these again. This isn't just disrespectful to Starmer but to all the Labour MP's who made this happen in just 2 years, ignoring these achievements is a kick in the face to everyone involved.

This is what really pees me off, people who insist Starmer did nothing, they brush aside as irrelevant the Employment and Tenents Rights act, free breakfast clubs, extra free childcare hours, changes to apprenticeships, rises in minumum wage and UC and so much more. An at a glance summary.

Oh ffs, can we not leave Starmer in peace and what a cheap shot. I'll judge Burnham on what he delivers not how good his speeches are, just as I did with Starmer. Missed by so many people in the media and beyond is the enormous amount Starmer delivered in under 2 years. A reminder.

021

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026

Failed to deliver the big work!!!! This is whaf he achieved in under 2 years, it's unprecedented. There's a reason Macron awarded him the Legion d'honneur and Zelensky gave him the Freedon of Kyiv. Burnham will struggle to achieve all this.

We'll have to agree to disagree, I detest opinion polls, I rarely agree with Peter Hitchens but he's spot on here. Lazy journalists use them to set the agenda and politicians allow themselves to be influenced by them. They destabilise our democracy when politicians pay attention to them.

Which is what Starmer was doing, can we stop airbushing Starmer's achievements under the carpet, if you're calling out his faults you should at least acknowledge the good things.

Fgs what do you think the Employment and Tenents Rights act are all about. Who do you think benefited from free breakfast clubs, additional free childcare hours, rise in minumum wage and UC,millions into health, education and other public services, Better Start Centres.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion, he got 30 bills through the legislative stages in under 2 years, I make no apology for posting this again. How much more Labour could he have been, he's renationalised rail, introduced Employment and Tenents Rights act, seem true Labour to me.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 16/09/2026

Aways worth reposting this from someone I rarely agree with but do when it comes to opinion polls. They become a self fulfilling prophesy if you allow them to set the agenda. Do you change your mind about anything after a chance encounter with a stranger, because that's what opinon polls are.

Which is not remotely unusual, Blair had a lot of losses in his first term and went onto win 3 more GE's. Labour still have the most councillors. Starmer always said the first 2 years would be tough, I've no time for your argument, the PLP was spooked, they should have bought back.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 13/09/2026

It was by his spokesperson, the man himself said nothing, there was quite a discussion about this on here last week. Did you actually bother reading the article before you posted.

Same, don't know how many times I pointed out Blair lost a lot of seats in LE then went onto to win 3 more GE's. I find this helpful, Labour did have losses but still have the most councillors.

I'm not sure what you mean about the Starmer operation. This is what Starmer said on 4 August 2024 about the riots. In May this he year he banned a group of people he called far right tourists from entering the UK. Burnham would be wise to follow Starmer's lead.

I've no problem with him waiting until he's appraised of all the facts, I got sick of Starmer being criticised for not commenting on everything the moment it happened. I do have a problem with this very weak response, compare and contrast with Starmer's statement on 4 August 2024.

201

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 07/09/2026

There is no comparison between Burnham's near silence about what happened this weekend and Starmer's response to the far right. In May this year Starmer banned people he labelled far right tourists from entering the UK because they were planning to attend Tommy Ten Names march.

This is the statement Starmer issued on 4 August 2024 in response to the Farage Riots. In May this year he banned people he called far right tourists from entering the country because they were planning to attend Tommy Ten Names march. There's no comparison between the responses from responses.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 07/09/2026

Starmer didn't ignore them, this is what he said on 4 August 2024 barely a month after taking office. In May this year be banned people he called far right tourists from entering the UK to take part in Tommy Ten Names march.

Contrast Burnham's response to Starmer's on 4 August 2024 in relation to the riots. In May this year he banned people he called far right tourists from entering the UK to attend Tommy Ten Names march.

This is what Keir Starmer said about the Farage Riots on the 4 August 2024. He banned people he called Far right tourists from entering the UK to take part in Tommy Ten Names march. Catchy but inaccurate soundbite.

I'm just imagining what the response from the media and the Starmer critics would have been if this had been his response. This is what Starmer said in response to the FarageRiots, he also banned people from entering the UK to join Tommy Ten Names march calling them Far Right tourists.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 07/09/2026

This is what Starmer on the said 4th August in response to the Farage riots. I'm not a fan of Burnham but I prefer our politicians to be appraised of all the facts before speaking out.

Claire S (UK not USA) @csav55.eurosky.social · 07/09/2026

Yup, contrast their silence with Starmer's statement after the Farage Riots and his banning of people he termed Far Right tourists from entering the country to join Tommy Ten Names march.

Not true, this is a statement made by Starmer after the FarageRiots, he barred peope he called Far Right Tourists from entering the UK to join Tommy Ten Names march. Facts still matter.
