Yawn.

Or maybe it's just a govt that listens & then improves stuff, just getting on with the job.

Oh and a really good 'Reset' deal with the EU that will cut red tape and help small exporters 🙂

He’s always been flip flopping,one day he said Trans women were women then another day he said they were not & there’s many examples he’s backtracked with things he’s done or said,just another right wing loser that has no backbone

It’s a bit daft lad. Digging the country out of a hole is the first job, and that is going well.

I thought Labour were increasing the threshold for WFA? Not exactly a retreat or a u-turn, just what they should have done in the first place rather than rush it through.

Corbyn was a terrible leader at first, but started to grow into the role. Starmer was a terrible leader at first and is getting worse.

Governing via focus group.

Knives are being sharpened already, with Rayner playing the stalking horse. The real danger for Starmer's leadership is Andy Burnham. I give the toolmaker's son 12 months max.

This isn't new though. Already well before the election I asked numerous times what was Labour's big vision for the UK. To date I have not received a credible answer.

chillaxbcn.bsky.social•4 days ago

This already became evident at the time of Labour's 'make Brexit work' announcement. There was no vision, strategy, plan. Except to win the election.

Maybe the UK has had enough of 'big visions' recently. We had Johnson 'Levelling up' and Truss 'Getting Britain Moving'.
Maybe time for a Government that just makes a difference to everybody's daily lives.
From the NHS getting sorted, to more Childcare, to more housing, etc 🙂

This is what I’ve thought was the vision. I like this ‘get things sensibly done’ government.

Spineless. Didn't stand up to Tories during election and tax and left themselves little wriggle room. Then come up with half arsed tax rises and then gave in at first signs of trouble. Starmer isn't a leader.

Clear vision is needed!
