I can't quite articulate it, but the choice to reference "working people" here does really annoy me.
It's so out of place in what is otherwise a national security/foreign policy speech, but is clearly their default mode, and reflects a government targeting solely, as Stephen Bush put it, morons.

![Starmer criticises politicians who have responded to Greenland crisis with 'grandstanding'
Starmer concludes by welcoming the stance taken by Kemi Badenoch on Greenland.
But, he goes on:
[In] moments like this there will always be people who reach for the performative, who think an angry social media post or grandstanding is a substitute for hard work.
That’s an understandable instinct, but it’s not effective. It never has been.
It may make politicians feel good, but it does nothing for working people whose jobs, livelihoods and security rely on the relationships that we build across the world.
This seems to be a jibe at people like Ed Davey and Zack Polanski.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gijpigvolh7hrcizybpe2fxu/bafkreiey4znxleomp36bekmzqhfylwelf5dg2daftwctlo74mmydfycsa4@jpeg)
