How do you expect him to do that? Less tax means less money for the NHS, schools, and all those rather important things. The economy is in a bad state. He can't just do a load of things that would make it worse. He needs to raise money somehow and improve how it is being used. That's not something you can just achieve quickly. He can't just undo the damage Truss did just because he wants to. He can't magically reduce the NHS waiting lists without additional expenditure. If he lowers immigration we will have a period where some jobs aren't filled and we're getting less tax revenue because we have less workers. Any government in this position would need some time to get things back on track.

Lets see how this Govt pans out, because for the longest time all I've seen new govts do is blame the last govt when things go wrong.

The first time since his interview with owen jones (while canvassing for Corbyn) that I’ve believed what came out of Kier’s mouth. I think he may actually love his country

My prediction is that things will get worse and Labour wont deliver any promises. Then, in 4 years' time, we'll hear a speech from Starmer saying how the tories have done so much damage, and it's going to take longer than 4 years for Labour to fix it

[@CraigAblett]

A-fucking-men 👊

[@michaelm8529]

I'm no fan of labour but we've been in decline for a very long time. Even if he gets us back to 2019 levels this term, we've got a long way to go before people will be happy. I dunno if anyone could take fix everything in one election cycle

[@LR1507]

It is gonna take more than 4 years though. 14 years of bleeding, it’s gonna take 4 years just put the plasters on.

I predict that over the next couple of terms, Labour will gradually rebuild the country, the a global crisis will give the Tories the footing they need to come in and wreck the country all over again.

Labour don’t have a mandate from the British people. 2 in 3 voted against Labour. Restore democracy, change the electoral system now to ensure the make up of parliament reflects the votes cast by the people.

Of course they do, that is how the voting system works, you could say the same for every single party elected

Sounds like you want a coalition every time with no clear sense of direction.
