      Change course? Britain is doing better than ever (given the cards dealt by truss/johnson/sunak)

      Starmer needs a better PR team

      Keep doing good economic things. Stop having unnecessary unpopular fights over civil liberties

      Well, they’re in luck! Changing course is what he does best!

      Backbenchers who manufactured by election that Labour lost are upset with Starmer for letting them do stupid things. 

      Two things are certain in life. Death and Labour infighting

      Starmer is the most loathed PM in living memory, with the reverse midas touch…..the polls dont lie he’s a duplicious, fake, anti British wretch and that’s putting it likely.

      Mark my words….Labour are going to get anhiliated in the May elections and he’s finished. Personally I hope Labour lurch further left in the aftermath….then watch what the Bond markets do as Reeves will be toast too 🤣

      I get a sense from Starmer’s responses to the catastrophic defeat for the party, that Labour MPs would have more success pissing in the wind than havubg their demands being met, and his Labour government change course…..

      I think making more porn regulations and invigilation will make him more popular /s

    8. Limp-Archer-7872 on

      He won’t.

      There is a stubbornness, immovability, rigidity of belief, and deafness, to Starmer and all the high ups in the labour party.

      There also transphobic AF. Lost all the library vote because of their horrendous abuse of us

      The thing is there are signs the economy is starting to head in the right direction. Productivity is up. Interest rates are normal. Net immigration down. By all accounts the oil tanker might be turning. Yes, his government’s messaging has been hit or miss, but his party would do well to remember he is one of only four Labour party leaders to win a general election. The country isn’t yearning for Corbyn mk 2. We just need to have hope for the future and know things will slowly get better and easier.

      I am not even a left winger, but if I could step into Keir Starmer’s position for a day, I would completely reset the direction of the government. From a political strategy point of view, this is what he should do:

      I would call a massive speech outside 10 Downing Street and make it a national moment. Every camera there. Every journalist watching. This would not be another cautious press conference. It would be a declaration.

      Starmer would stand there and say clearly that Labour is the party of change, but that change has not come fast enough. That the country is restless. That people are tired of drift. And that if this government does not rise to the scale of the moment, Britain could hand 2029 to Reform in a historic landslide.

      Then I would announce a New Deal for the British people. Not tweaks. Not managerial adjustments. Real transformation. I would bring Green MPs into government and form a Labour and Green pact that unites the entire progressive side of politics under one mission.

      Make it unmistakable that this is a turning point. That Labour is done playing safe. That it understands the anger, the economic pressure, the climate crisis, the demand for something bigger.

      Because if Labour keeps inching forward while the country is demanding leaps, it will not just lose seats. It could face electoral devastation. The left will splinter. Reform will surge. And Starmer’s leadership will not survive the aftermath.

      This is a moment for political courage. If you are going to govern, then govern boldly. If you are going to change the country, then actually change it.

    12. Cynical_Classicist on

      He won’t. Starmer will keep listening to Glasman telling him to go further right.

    13. Single_Classroom_448 on

      They don’t even need to massively change course IMO, just a few key things and I imagine that they’d see their support increase

    14. therealhairykrishna on

      They’ve done some good stuff but it feels like they’ve tried to chase some Reform votes, which they were never going to get, and in the process royally pissed off their left wing supporters. 

      Despite having a few years I suspect it’s already too late to salvage a win at the next general election. Best they can hope for is scraping a “not Reform” alliance together with the Greens and/or the Lid Dems.

      ITT: a load of people putting subjectively fringe issues (that I’ve no doubt have made up their personal reason to not vote Labour) as the key issue that has shed them votes.

      The answer is much simpler: whilst we are collectively seeing degraded wages whilst public spending is focused heavily on a particular demographic, a mass of people will vote against Labour. 33% of our national budget is focused on welfare, with the majority of that welfare going to pensions. That has a massive drag on health, policing, council funding etc, so people see a crumbling community and society.

      Until that nettle is grasped, at a macro level people will perceive their lives to be shitter and will whack the incumbent government accordingly

      Which Labour MPs? How many? What factions are they from?

      I dislike Clive Lewis quite a bit, but at least he has the bollocks to go on the record.
