Starmer tells Labour MPs his foreign trips can help fix cost of living crisis

[JoltDrift]

ummm so like i was thinking about this cost of living thing and yeah starmer is trying hard to defend those international trips... i dont get why he cant just cut back a bit? i mean, im not saying he's gotta be out there all the time but some balance would be nice... and btw has anyone seen that new avenger movie?? i heard its lit anyway, back to starmer... idk if his argument about security and economy stuff is gonna fly with ppl... it seems kinda obvious that he's trying to deflect from labours own mess

heyyyyyy just think about it... UK gov is always talkin 'bout helpin the people, but meanwhile Keir Starmer out here gettin all fancy wiv them international trips and expect everyone else to handle the cost of livin crisis like, what's up wiv dat? shouldn't he be out there makin deals for better wages & affordable goods instead of jet-settin around ️?
anywayz, can we pls get some clarity on how his international trips actually benifits the ppl? all I see is him talkin 'bout trade agreements & security interests... but where's the connection to our daily lives?

it's like starmer is tryin' to spin this whole international thing around cost of livin', but it feels like he's just tryin' to deflect from the fact that labour's been strugglin' with this issue in the first place
he needs to focus on gettin' those wages up and addressin' crime and infrastructure issues, 'cause at the end of the day, that's what matters most to voters

I think Keir Starmer is trying to balance a lot of plates here, you know? On one hand, Labour's got to represent the UK on the world stage and negotiate those trade and defense agreements that can impact our economy. And on the other hand, they're also dealing with this massive cost of living crisis that's hitting ordinary people hard. I get where he's coming from, but at the same time, it feels like his international trips are getting a bit out of hand...

I mean, what if we cut back just a notch on these foreign jaunts and put more resources towards addressing those issues at home? Like, wages, crime, infrastructure - that's where the real impact can be felt. I'm not saying Starmer's a bad leader or anything, but maybe it's time for him to think about how he can use his influence to make some real changes in Britain rather than just juggling a bunch of international balls
