He's a stopgap. When the Tories get their shit together, he'll be out and around we go again.
I think beliveing he will change from his consistant unradical career path more naive than my aceptance that the staus quo, with minor tweaks will continue, as it has for nearly 35 years.
reeves, nandy, streeting, dodds, kendall, powell, benn, cooper, debonaire, lammy, they have not one radical bone in their body.
I wasn't a new labour fan, but blair/brown offered some hope and also recognised a mixed bag of ideas was needed, not generic dullards that are now the shaddow cabinet
Can I ask who you would normally vote for, or your voting pattern?Got to be truthuly honest as someone who has been politicaly active since my teens, I feel nothing for the coming election, starmer and labour wins or the tories win, I see no change or reason for hope post the GE.
first time in my life I see nothing in a general election to think things may change for the better, I am bereft of hope or belief.
Starmer will win, but he inspires fuck all of a decent future
I reckon he will be knifed from within before the Tories get their shit together.He's a stopgap. When the Tories get their shit together, he'll be out and around we go again.
Can't believe you are asking for a wallet inspection;-)Can I ask who you would normally vote for, or your voting pattern?
Like I found with yourself, it’s sometimes difficult to work out where people are coming from so always good to find the starting point. As you know, I thought you were ardent RW due to your constant attacks on Starmer, your posts were so fervent.Can't believe you are asking for a wallet inspection;-)

On that note I'd rather not have Wes Streeting getting radical with the NHS thnkyou.
Streeting as health secretary is the equivalent of appointing Gary Glitter kids Minister.That's a good point. They're not exactly known for their loyalty.
I think the NHS's days are numbered, unfortunately. This iteration of the Labour Party or the other lot will see to that eventually.

He's a puppet for a US healthcare group.
