The Conservative Party/Government

[mexico1970]

Starmer’s only has two choices, blame the tories as to why he can’t be a socialist or be a socialist.

The first one might buy him some grace but I’ll be surprised if he can keep a lid on things for a second term without showing far more socialist tendencies.

I suppose there is the third option, he can always just be the Tory he currently is.

Personally I am going to belay my concerns and vote for him and see what he comes up with, whatever the outcome it's going to be an interesting GE when the Tory lite take power and the infighting begins.

I'm all for change though as long as it isn't too radical.

The Tories have fucked the economy to levels post WW2.

Labour came in and literally rebuilt the country.

They will need at least two terms to show any real difference. I doubt this current version will be that radical.

Some positive news. Surprised this hasn’t been posted/discussed already…

UK exits recession with fastest growth in two years

The economy grew by a stronger than expected 0.6% in the first three months of the year.

…even in the context of what it might mean for an incoming Labour Government and their plans. Especially given how quick they are to say how they can’t do owt due to the state of the economy.

Desperate post , the tories have fucked the economy and all of us , bet you dont post about fourteen years of austerity and why we are in the shit with every service fucked

They can and no doubt will, but will the public have the patience needed to recover from where the Tories vacate

I’d love for our economy to outperform. I couldn’t care who is in power to make that happen. So fingers crossed, you’re sadly right about public patience though.

Are you saying our economy is fucked because of austerity?

Labour rebuilt the country after WW2?

I didn’t say it because that wasn’t my question. My question was “are you saying the economy is fucked because of austerity?”. Put another way I am merely asking if your premise is one of large state will economically outperform a small state.
