Yeah we have become dreadful and slow at building things. That is why e.g. the planning and infa bill and the 10 year infrastructure strategy are so important.

11) Ending the long term employment disputes with nurses, teachers, junior doctors, Heathrow security staff, criminal barristers, Arriva bus drivers, and BT workers.
12) Handling the Farage riots in an exemplary way
13) The statesmanship of Starmer when handling Trump and the EU.

Nonsense. The current planning rules fail both nature and building, which is why we have become one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. Rather than wasting money on bat tunnels that do nothing for bats, cash will be spent where it is actually needed, improving nature!

Yes, because legislation takes time to scrutinise and pass. That's how our democracy works. You can't fix all the problems this country was left with overnight.

Yeah fair point. Sure, it's a project that has been under discussion for decades, but the fact that we haven't been able to deliver it in a year really isn't acceptable.

To put it another way, this is the one opportunity when you can (almost) force everyone to answer a survey, so you should try to work out the difference between everyone, and people who don't answer surveys when they aren't forced.

What might this look like? Fewer questions on boilers, more questions on digital exclusion and stuff we know might correlate with online panel membership.

My view has always been the same, recent events would always have been tough. We needed government to be at its best. Unfortunately, under the Tories, we had a government at its worst.
