Keir Starmer really doesn’t want to end up like Joe Biden.

After a bumpy five months in office, the U.K.’s center-left prime minister will use a major speech on Thursday to shift focus from the abstract goal of boosting U.K. economic growth to the more tangible target of making voters feel better off.

In doing so, his administration has one eye on the fate of the U.S. president, who could boast enviable GDP figures — but still faced the wrath of voters, pinched by high inflation, who instead backed the return of Donald Trump.

In his speech, Starmer will promise to hit six numerical milestones by the next election covering health care, house construction, education, policing, net zero and the economy.

So did Biden - he had "experts" and numbers galore all intended to gaslight the public who were looking at the price of groceries that they were, in fact, too uninformed to realize how well off they were. The result speaks for itself.

"How Keir Starmer hopes to avoid becoming Britain's Biden"

By becoming Italy's Draghi or the Netherlands's Rutte after a collapsed government. A boot upward by EU elites and away from having to stand a next election by the hoi polloi. Barnier, anyone?
