Newscast · Keir Starmer Says Goodbye · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

That's what I mean. voice-verified

It's just sort of it's one of those leaving presents that has in the past been the punchline of many a joke. voice-verified

But it turns out that actually this was quite a thoughtful present for Keir Starmer because apparently his dad had a real fondness for clocks. voice-verified

So there was a sort of familial link there, something that felt quite personal to him. voice-verified

And we are told by number 10 that it was a silver clock from around 1920, which was made by Dent, the British clockmaking firm responsible for building Big Ben, and included a plaque engraved with change promised, change fought for, change delivered. voice-verified

Thank you, Keir, the cabinet. voice-verified

Or maybe the plaque isn't on the clock. voice-verified

Maybe the plaque sits next to the clock. voice-verified

I haven't got that level of detail to hand. voice-verified

I'm just speculating. voice-verified

But, yeah, we are told that the whole last cabinet meeting with Keir Starmer in his cabinet was, you know, a sort of fairly emotional affair and that this was a very gratefully received present. voice-verified

And David Lammy, who's the deputy prime minister, paid tribute to Keir Starmer in the final cabinet meeting and sort of spoke about his personal attributes and the stuff that he's done in politics. voice-verified

So, yeah, I mean, I think that, again, it sort of speaks to the point that we were making earlier and that Chris quite rightly made, which is that there has just been this shift in mood. voice-verified

And I think that is kind of almost inevitable and that happens in politics. voice-verified

But the mood today is undoubtedly just really supportive of Keir Starmer as prime minister from all of the people that have worked alongside him. voice-verified

I think that's definitely what they're trying to get out and across. voice-verified

He also got two bottles of wine, one English sparkling and one Pinot Grigio. voice-verified

You couldn't turn it down, though. voice-verified

If we presented you with an engraved carriage clock, surely you'd put it prior to play's flat match or not, no? voice-verified

Newscast · What’s Andy Burnham’s Plan To Move Power Out Of London? · 10 Jul 2026 podcast
