“Never Here Keir” is the latest release from Not Working People, delivering a caustic critique of a Prime Minister who’s become more known for his globetrotting than for his commitment to the British public. With a staggering 42 international trips in just 17 months, Sir Keir Starmer is racking up miles at the expense of the very people he’s supposed to represent. As the country struggles under his government’s growing authoritarianism, soaring taxes, and creeping surveillance, this track cuts through the smoke and mirrors to shine a light on the growing disconnection between Starmer and the UK electorate.
From canceling elections and scrapping jury trials, to imposing digital ID systems and allowing mass surveillance, Not Working People are calling out the hypocrisy and danger of a government that has abandoned the people. While Starmer juggles his multiple visits to foreign summits and luxury getaways, it’s the citizens left behind, grappling with job losses, rising costs, and a government that’s becoming more oppressive by the day, who are paying the price.
Branded Never Here Keir by so many, including many of his own MP’s, Starmer’s “Never Here” status is more than just a catchy label—it’s a reflection of his complete disregard for accountability, his preference for foreign policy photo ops over domestic responsibility, and his alarming detachment from the lives of the working people he claims to serve. As we watch this government push forward with policies straight out of the authoritarian playbook, Not Working People ask, how long until this “Never Here” leader abandons the UK entirely, leaving us to face a future shaped by his absence?
The track is for anyone who’s tired of the deceit, the lies, and the growing authoritarianism from a government that seems to be doing everything except listening to its own citizens. In a time when “Never Here Keir” is more apt than ever, the question remains: will this Prime Minister be brought down to earth in May 2026 by the people he seems to despise so much he would rather be anywhere else than “here” with them?
