Here's the interesting thing posters overlook; Starmer is a fan of private entity and (as someone put it in the Labour thread) he wants a cabinet that's a technocracy. If efficiency and better economic outcomes are on their minds and getting Britain at the forefront of technology, why wouldn't they go down this path?
We're in the advent of AI, ready to take a lot of jobs. Do any of you, in your collective right minds, think Starmer will work against this way forward, especially if he sees other countries working along this pathway??
The NHS is a great example of staff being removed in the advent of AI. In the two years I left the NHS, I returned as my son had an appointment. The office I was in had shrunk to less than a third. There were 19 staff in there, originally, slashed to a third because of the new 'Hive' system. Radiologists had lost their jobs, also and soon they will get rid of the health records library too.
It will be interesting to see the unemployment rate halfway through the term and before the next GE.
People will want something like the Workers Party to fight for them, all whilst you are muttering 'grifters' about them.
