Keir Starmer scolded over claims he has 'no regrets' after five months in office: 'Give me his self-confidence!'

Speaking to the liaison committee of senior MPs on Thursday, Starmer defended his record in office.

Asked by Labour MP Dame Meg Hillier if there was anything he would have done differently, the Prime Minister stated: "No. We had to do tough stuff, we are getting on with it."

He added that he was "very pleased to be delivering and delivering from a position of power rather than going round the division lobbies losing every night".

Discussing the remarks on GB News, Price pointed out that Starmer had become "the most unpopular Prime Minister, I think ever, in his first five months".

"Worse than Brown, worse than Liz Truss as well in terms of lack of popularity", he claimed.

Highlighting Labour's decision-making in their controversial policies, Prince explained: "I think the problem here is that if you were doing really deep structural changes, they'd be really unpopular for a while, but they would bear fruit down the line - fair enough.

"But he's doing really unpopular things that's going to make the country worse, and therefore I think that his confidence in himself is perhaps misplaced."

In disagreement with Price, commentator Scarlett Mccgwire defended some of the Government's actions, arguing that they have benefitted "young people" by increasing minimum wage.

Mccgwire told GB News: "What they have done, which I think is really important and we keep forgetting, is they put up the minimum wage, which for young people is a lot.

"Particularly for people who are less skilled, who are going to go into the minimum wage, it's good for the economy because people on low incomes spend it."

Hitting back at the outrage towards Starmer over Labour's inheritance tax raid on farmers, Mccgwire claimed that the policy will "only affect a few farmers", and big businessmen such as Jeremy Clarkson.

MccGwire said: "The inheritance tax, it's going to affect very few farmers, and it might affect people like Jeremy Clarkson and Dyson, who only bought it up because they wanted to avoid inheritance tax."

As host Stephen Dixon claimed the commentator was "defending the indefensible", Mccgwire hit back: "I'm not defending the indefensible, but I'm saying things could have been done better - I think things could have been introduced differently."

She suggested: "I think that with the Winter Fuel Payment, there were an awful lot of pensioners who didn't need that money.

"I think it should have been maybe taxed, so that people on a very low income got the whole thing, and people on high income got very little."
