Read something the other day about Wes Streeting taking money from private healthcare companies while sorting out the NHS.
Hurrah someone has come onto the thread with an alternative point of view maybe now we will get some input from them instead of attacking individuals. Welcome ned werby. So how do you think Starmer is doing? And how you think he can turn it around, if he can he may get my vote. Oh and by the way the misdoings were by the tory party this thread is about Starmer
Starmer's been dealt a **** hand, there's no doubt about that. But, he's not handling it as well as could be expected that's for certain also. He needs to get on top of the little stuff (and that list further up the thread can largely be defined as 'little stuff' imo - let's be honest who gives a flying one that Reeves' estate agent ****ed up the license thing - it's £975 for God's sake) so that he, and his cabinet, can focus completely on the 'big stuff' (deficit, nhs, education, law and order and yes, immigration). They're not wholly mitigating factors but the wars in Ukraine and Gaza have meant resources which could have be used at home have had to be diverted away, Trump's tariffs have shagged the global economy, putting more pressure on markets which were previously free-flowing and world Politics (with a capital 'P') have never been so divided, there no consensus between red and blue anymore, just a media driven bull-bait to be 'right'. We're in a post-truth world where facts are an inconvenience, social media is completely corrupt and politicians of all stripes have no real life experience of running a small company let alone a Government. Add to that the supposed 'leader of the free world' is a ****ing grifting idiot who seems hell-bent on corrupting all meaningful attempts to resolve the wars (he hasn't brokered a ceasefire in Gaza, he's given the Israeli's a breakwater so they can regroup before they go again - mark my words) then the UK government, along with the EU and NATO don't know which way to turn. He's had 14 months, give him 24 before getting the pitchforks and tar out is my opinion, for better or worse - and it could be a hell of a lot worse.
After this I’m not commenting on an active reform member’s threads. For clarity I’m a member of no party and I’m not sure who I’ll vote for next time but I know two parties I wont vote for based on policy and ideology alone
