They remind me, in a way, of the Lib Dems when they joined a coalition with the Tories. The dreams of sitting on the other side of the House of Commons, must have been so alluring to a party who would never have had a cat in hells chance otherwise. What they must have forgotten is what they promised those who actually voted for them. Remember the student fees thing?
Liebour will reap what they sow, and nobody will forgive the Tories. Excellent chance for Reform in the next election. |

"0.2% growth that will hopefully not be revised down but economists warn that things are likely to slow down even more in the coming months"
It’s good news. But Labour can take no credit for it
In fact if it drops again it will directly blamed on Reeves imminent budget. |

The right wing media have the power to destroy anything Labour can ever achieve and will almost certainly exercise that power.
That's how things work. |

And in about 5 years you’ll be able to make a difference if they haven’t. |

I don't think they are doing very well.
The British people are pulling them out of a quagmire of cock ups. Starmer will probably claim the credit.
The new Investors thing should be interesting but not holding out much hope.
Bit of a bull in a Gchina shop.

Another day, another balls-ups
1 billion dock investment by DP is in jeopardy because the transport secretary urged a boycott of p&o, which they own, and starmer has had to step in and “rebuke” her.
Shambles. It’s as if they haven’t figured out they they are in charge yet, and can just sit in the sidelines shouting what other people should be doing |

The Lib Dems went into the 2010 election promising to abolish the university fees that Blair had introduced across the UK.
Once in power, they agreed to increase them to 9k. |

Before the election there were those that said the right wing media is so powerful that Labour would not get anywhere near government. Don't here it so much these days  |

Correct, but that didn't stop some people claiming the right wing media would stop Labour, right up to the election. |

A Labour (or any) party wouldn't be allowed anywhere near power if they were going to bring any real change.
Labour were allowed in because they offered a slightly less shit and self serving version of what we already had. |

Again, “right wing media”.
Are you referring to a sector of the media? Or are you suggesting that the media are all right wing?

The students who had voted Lib Dem in 2010, did so because they had promised to make education free for everyone. (See page 17 of link below.) But in their coalition with the Tories they reneged on that and it cost them millions of votes in the next election.

Come on now. They're nowhere near as bad.
Time will tell if they manage to stay less shit. But it would be some feat if they somehow managed to be more self serving. |

This was a summary on day 79, some things have changed since then:
He announced GB energy was up and running, that is a shocker if it is.
He cut WFA without any consultation or risk assessment.
He claims in every interview that he inherited a 22 billion blackhole but refuses to release the details of the 22 billion blackhole under FOI requests.
He did not negotiate a bilateral contract when awarding pay increases way above inflation, leaving the door open for more industrial action and no improvements to services.
Britains biggest house builder is now cancelling building projects due to labours unachievable housing plans and the impact it will have on them as a business, as Labour will rely on the private sector to the work, again without any form of consultation.
He broke the ceiling for SPAD's salaries and approved a salary above his own for Sue Gray, it has caused massive unrest and numerous leaks of information from no10.
Sue Gray is conducting national meetings of importance and deciding on who or isn't being appointed in roles such as special advisors, whilst keeping Starmer out of the loop, at this point it appears Gray is having more of a hand in running the country that Starmer.
His ratings are going down quickly, showing a lack of confidence in him as a person and leader.
He has already needed to stipulate publicly that he is in control, not a good luck and especially when you consider that any vote against his policies will be punished by removing the whip. That is not being in control, that is the signs of a very nervous man who knows he his hiding the true feelings behind his decisions.
He has done nothing to lift the mood of the country, rather the opposite with his constant warnings of pain to come and tiring people out with claims of the 22 billion blackhole. This in fairness could be added to the ratings dip.
There is more but you get the idea and from only the first 79 days in office, I dread to think what we can expect on day 365 and beyond..
—————————————————————————————update day 100:
He has addressed the issue with Sue Gray, shuffled her off on her high than his salary.
They have realised their messages of hitting the rich are now back firing on them, non-dom taxation won’t be anywhere near what they thought it would be which is a shame after they had basically said every issue would be funded from closing loopholes.
Workers rights: promises of the most radical change in years turned out to be poorly thought out and not exactly binding in some cases…
Transport Secretary Louise Haigh said this week that she had boycotted P&O Ferries in recent years and would encourage others to do so, this brought a 1 billion deal to near collapse, Starmer had to step in and publicly call her out.
His ministers are still not singing from the same hymn sheet and are constantly contradicting each other and their policies. A beautiful example was Reeve saying she wanted her staff in the office and not working from home as it is less productive, see workers reforms….
They have surrendered sovereignty of Chagos islands. A strategical military base is now rather exposed to Chineses influence, as they are very pally pally with the Mauritian government. Own goal.
In a you gov poll nearly 50% of people who voted labour are unhappy with his cabinet, and in an Ipsos poll his personal rating is at a record low.
The good news: we could see investments totalling upwards of 50 billion into the uk economy, what underpins these investments in terms of government sacrifices is yet to be seen, should be announced tomorrow

Correct 101 days of pantomime season, it is well under way and early this year.
I still have a little laugh when I remember the leftists parroting the phrase the adults are now in charge, that saying summed up perfectly the electorate who need their decisions making for them, and oh yes they do |

I got the government I deserve, is just a throwaway line, isn’t it?
People deserve a government that actually steps up and delivers. If he doesn’t up his game, then yes, we absolutely should demand better! Settling for less isn’t the answer. And honestly, if you could lose the blind loyalty to one party, you’d see that you’re just promoting a return to the same mess we’ve already been through with that type of message. |

i've never voted labour son, so your supposition based on wild surmise is nonsense ... what i know is that within 72hrs of the election result, the order books in our industry sector started to fill up and it got quicker.... there's a huge shortfall in suitably qualified people which has pushed wages up for those who are .... dual passortport holders are getting the most money on account of their flexability of being able to work abroad at very short notice .... consequently recruiting is happening mostly in the EU, but that's fine for what we need there's plenty of people with the right skillset willing to relocate here for work ..... and all this excellent news is thanks to the present government and specifically the bloke who they said couldn't eat a bacon sandwich. |

i've never voted labour son, so your supposition based on wild surmise is nonsense ... what i know is that within 72hrs of the election result, the order books in our industry sector started to fill up and it got quicker.... there's a huge shortfall in suitably qualified people which has pushed wages up for those who are .... dual passortport holders are getting the most money on account of their flexability of being able to work abroad at very short notice .... consequently recruiting is happening mostly in the EU, but that's fine for what we need there's plenty of people with the right skillset willing to relocate here for work ..... and all this excellent news is thanks to the present government and specifically the bloke who they said couldn't eat a bacon sandwich.
This sounds like good news for now, for you.
Not sure you are getting the authority or power trip you imagine by using son, rather the opposite "

"If he doesn't up his game he wont, and we deserve better if he doesn't.
It’s almost pantomime season so “oh yes he will”
You have to be delusional to think that Starmer on current form will last a whole term.
Who is going to replace him?"
There are 402 others...
Are you suggesting that none of them could possibly replace him? If so, that's even worse than I imagined. |

"The doom and gloom is better than being lied to and finding new sleeze stories every other week. As has been the case for 14 years. "
Hello, welcome to the new world est 5th July 2024.
No new sleeve stories every other week: I’m sure it’s been more like every week not every other, but labour sleaze to date is not as bad as the tories so that’s okay, with more than half the population now believing the Labour Party to be sleazy. (Aimed squarely at ministers)
Not being lied to. I really don’t now how to start this one |

"Labour is no longer the party for working people, it is the party for business."
It was the only way they could get enough funding for their election campaign.
The system is designed to keep things as they are, with the government working in the interests of those who donate the most. |

For me that is such a shame that labour had to turn to the very people stuffing the country to get in to power, that is why we will all have another few years of same old same old maybe not all sleaze, but more taxes, more higher bills worst than when the tories were in. |

The country is fucked. Even if Labour had good intentions, no idea how they would fix things. |

Councils going bankrupt, but that is the tories fault, my issue with labour is that when the tories imploded, business knew the tories were gone, so wooed labour and labour accepted the bribes and gifts.
The worker has been forgotten hence so many working age people saying fu@k this, working for a wage which has to be topped up by benefits, sorry topped up by the tax payer, nah what is the point. |

"oh look .... now inflation is under control again at 1.7%
Mostly down to labour donors who have stopped purchasing luxury items for ministers?
who cares... it's a fact "
Very true, both are facts but only 1 of the facts is due to the actions of the Labour Party

It's a good news story so it will be claimed as a Labour success, despite the fact that bad news is blamed on the previous bunch of clowns. If inflation should increase, will labour still be claiming it as theirs or will it be straight back to blaming others |

It can’t have anything to do with the Tories because they said the high inflation wasn’t their fault. |

Withstanding global influence, It is difficult to see how inflation increases from home grown spending would happen, rather the opposite in my opinion. With all the doom and impending gloom I’m confident the public have slowed their spending.
Of course this will deliver another round of challenges, confidence this government knows how to manage the impact, very low. |
