It always surprises me how attached politicians are to voters expectations and concerns during an election campaign and how fast they detach themselves from them as soon as the election is over and they gain power.
I'm not sure that's what's happened here, to be honest. Starmer and his gang seem to have had a very particular voter in mind throughout the election, and it didn't matter because there were no viable alternatives. They still seem to be pandering to this particular figure even though
it's not clear he really exists outside of a few focus groups, and the fact that we're years away from an election and they could instead just get on with governing well.
