The Labour Government

[kaz7]

Labour in Govt are doing what I had hoped - exposing what years and years of Tory austerity gas actually done to public services

NHS and care regulator 'not fit for purpose'

The health secretary says he is stunned by failings in inspecting hospitals, GPs and care homes in England.

I am impressed with streeting so far , not mincing his words and taking action

Spending pressures in non-protected departments were signalled in the March Budget, and therefore required an amended spending profile if they were to be avoided. It was government policy, and obvious to anyone who cared to read the documents.

The OBR actually provided additional analysis on how spending cuts planned one, two years ahead typically fail to emerge in a comprehensive spending review, thereby requiring additional funding. This point was also made by groups such as the IFS in the run up to the election.

So, after completely ignoring this issue in the run up to the election, do you think it’s credible for Reeves to say that she’s now about to provide an honest assessment of the public finances?

That would be the March budget where the Institute for Government said "Spending plans from April 2025 are an insult to the electorate’s intelligence".

And you're doubting Reeves' credibility!

You’ve just proved my point.

Not sure you needed to provide further evidence of Reeves’ wilful ignorance of the issue during the election campaign, or the disingenuous approach she’s adopted since, but thanks all the same.

And this is the difference, Labour are taking action with the findings while the previous regime would have buried it and screamed ‘Small boats’.

Ha, they would as well !

Well, whatever Reeves knows (and when did she know it?), she wasn't promising tax cuts that would make any "black hole" worse, was she?

3 weeks in and these fuckers can't stay on message and get behind the government position. 6 month suspension for all involved .... I don't make the rules.

Why isn't LFI a proscribed group?

They are sympathetic to state sponsored terrorism, if it was a group lobbying for any other country besides Israel or America they'd have been told to fuck off a long time ago.

So the meeting yesterday was in no way performative gesture politics?

Is this normal in the UK? Starmer will meet an Imam and Priest next right?

Seeing a religious leader propping up netenyahu like this is no different the regime in Iran.

Sounds like the start of Ben Elton joke.

Never used to be but it was convenient for a while. Now we appear to trying to squeeze the toothpaste back in to the tube.

 

[Vienna_70]

I wonder how long the suspensions will last?

I'll wager until parliament comes back off holiday in September when Starmer needs everyone back on board for a couple of bills that the Daily Heil will hit the nuclear button.

The suspension is for an initial six months.

Have you seen the majority that Labour has?

Starmer isn’t going to need seven MPs.

We could save 20Bn just by changing how we manage our fiscal reserves, which currently is in effect, subsidising the banking sector.

Absolutely credible. Ever thought that now having full access to all areas she could have unearthed more issues the Tories were hiding? I suspect that will be the case.

Let’s see what she has to say.

 

[Vic]

More like civil servants telling her what they weren't allowed to say before the election.
