Starmer jokes about staying in ‘chilled’ Paris as he meets Team GB Paralympians

Sir Keir Starmer joked he wanted to stay in a “chilled” Paris as he met with Team GB Paralympians on Thursday (29 August).

The prime minister, who this week made an address to the nation admitting things will get worse for people in the UK before they get better, met several Paralympian athletes at their training ground Saint-Germain-en-Laybe in Paris.

One of the athletes told Sir Keir: “As you can see, it’s a very chilled atmosphere.

The prime minister laughed and replied: “Yes, it’s nice. I am staying.”

The Labour leader then watched the Paralympians take part in their training sessions.
