‘Ministers don’t know what to do!’ Keir Starmer issued dammning verdict on cost of living protests

Keir Starmer and the Labour Government have been dealt a damning verdict on the potential cost-of-living protests erupting across the country. Speaking to GB News, commentator Dan Hodges declared that lawmakers “don’t know what to do” as global pressures on the British economy spin out of their control.Mr Hodges was unimpressed with Sir Keir’s efforts to reassure the country, slamming him for “saying nothing”.“I think the reality is ministers simply don’t know what to do about this crisis.“There are obviously aspects of this that are now being driven by global events… there's very little in the practical sense they can do,” the commentator despaired.He was speaking as it emerged Downing Street had held talks on the potential of mass protests over the cost of living crisis following the war in Iran.GB News understands that representatives from several Whitehall departments discussed the prospects of mass demonstrations over high prices and shortages of key goods.Experts have previously warned energy bills could rise by £160 if the war in the Middle East drags on, with fuel prices hitting their highest level since 2022.WATCH THE FULL CLIP ABOVE
