Streeting dice che il lavoro non ha fatto abbastanza per conquistare gli elettori

lol… they’ve gone against everything they promised.

Broken promises, lack of credible economic planning despite it being a near certainty that they would be elected and an almost prescient ability to alienate a large percentage of the electorate.

All achieved within just over a year and it’s almost time to double down on the problems caused directly by their maiden budget.

It’s actually impressive in a perverse way.

The “tell a good story” narrative was good in the past but in an era of social media where pessimism spreads like wildfire and people aren’t listening to mainstream media, I don’t think telling a story would change all that much.

Labour needs to be radical, in ways both sides of its party doesn’t like. Massive reduction in immigration on top of what has been done already, a wealth tax and many other economic measures to pay for more spending.

Because the media spends more time putting Reform on a pedestal than evaluating what the government has done over the past year

Here’s a radical idea. You’ve got a huge majority. Why not focus on just making things better rather than worrying about the next election? The polls will fix themselves if people’s lives get better, and you’ve got until 2028/29 to do it.

In their defence they have done pretty well at wining voters for other parties.

He is a huge reason I can’t stand current Labour. He is just a disgusting weasel in every sense.

And so continues Wesley Streeting’s campaign to usurp Sir Keir Starmer. I’m on the edge of my toilet seat wondering which unlikable prick will be on top in 2026

It seems less and less likely they will be able to do so before the next election. And the alternative is just populist wishful thinking as far as I can see.

I mean he’s not wrong, but he’s also part of the problem. Labour hasn’t delivering anything meaningful, quickly enough.

I mean yeah. And it’s hard to imagine the procedure focussed Starmer snapping out of it any time soon.

We’re basically at a point where the IMF will be here in 10 years and force us to cancel the triple lock, and Farage might be here in 5 years to smash much of the good parts of the state. Centrist politicians need to start overhauling massive parts of the machinery of the country, right now, or populists or technocrats are going to come in and do it on their terms, rather than ours. The long term trend for growth has declined to zero, and the inevitable next step after that is a long term recession trend.

Instead we are acting like it’s 1997, not doing anything unless it was in the manifesto, approved by focus groups, green papered, white papered, gold plated against judicial review and then subjected to judicial review anyway. The government needs to understand that unless change happens right now, it will be cancelled by others and never happen at all. Social care reform being put off for fours years is just insulting. They’re still kicking the can down the road even though there’s a sink hole in it.

Maybe in 1997 there was time for perfect legislation, but there isn’t now. Better written on a fag packet and forced through by Act of Parliament, because the alternative is nothing.

We should grant outline planning permission for a million homes, by act of parliament. This would plummet the price of potential residential land, give the construction industry the confidence of supply and increased profitability to hire huge quantities or workers, and spark an economic boom. The public and politicians says we need to build house, time to make them put their money where their mouth is. It’s easy to oppose one planning application that won’t make a dent, much harder to oppose on decision that would actually fix the problem.

And a host of other policies like it. Doing less doesn’t mean less opposition, it means opposition is better able to focus on your tiny measures. Better bombarding the media with huge overhauls so there is insufficient oxygen to oppose it all, then when you make some compromises, lots will still have gotten done.

The media and opinion polls don’t matter. What matters is the bond markets, and they will economically reward a government that is actually fixing things.

Streeting – specifically, the policies that he personally has championed – is the main reason I will NOT be voting Labour next election.

You mean banning porn, calling everyone paedophiles and generally being technologically illiterate is not a real boon to the youth vote? Colour me stunned.

And on top of that, the old vote is decimated by winter fuel payments, the WASPI women, and just again a general lack of ideas on how to do anything to get them on their side.

It’s almost as if, selling your entire party and ethos to big business is not a good idea when your entire party exists to be the working class anti-big business party. If people wanted to support people who blow off American big businesses we’d have bent over and let the Tories continue fucking us.

Just let Reform make things worse already so we can get it over with. I’m tired.

Not only have the not-done anything worth me voting for them they have actively dissuaded me from voting for them again with every law or time starmer opened his mouth

It seems to me that since Corbyn they’ve been on a mission to lose as many voters as possible.

They’ve done nothing. And now they’re loosing voters like me.

The shit they are concentrating on does not solve real world problems for everyday folk.

For a clear example: How much time and energy have they spent this age verification for everyone to circumvent it.

What an oily cretin. Labour has targeted the vulnerable and disabled, introduced the Online Safety Act, and called anyone who opposed it paedophile supporters? While expensing VPNs? Or how about mass surveillance of bank accounts of most vulnerable? Or monitoring when, how long and where people go on holiday, spend their money? Lied about the country’s finances….

It feels like everything they’ve done has been to lose votes… I say this as someone who has voted Labour all my life.
