New Yes, it was a good speech
Gracious to the outgoing PM, inclusive of all voters, and noting a key change of direction - the government is there to serve the people, not vice versa.

New He's already doing some good things. I'll need to adjust my cynicism about him.
https://mastodon.social/@w7voa@journa.host/112740238254434781 - Kills plan to send asylum seakers to Rwanda. (Some critics are saying he killed it because "it doesn't go far enough"...)

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp08y5p52e2o:

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says he has appointed a CEO known for employing ex-offenders as the new prisons minister because he "walks the walk".

James Timpson, of the Timpson Group, which provides key cutting and shoe repair services, has made a name for himself hiring hundreds of former prisoners. He previously said only a third of people in prison should be there.

During his first news conference as prime minister on Saturday, Sir Keir said Mr Timpson had invested "a huge amount over many years" into rehabilitating offenders and he was "very pleased" to have given him the post.


Fingers crossed for the good people of the UK.

Cheers,
Scott.

I hope you don't mind if I don't read this. I don't know if it's going where I don't want it to be going, but if it is going there, I *don't* want to go there, so the best place for me to be is here, not there, and here is where I'm staying.
