Glad it was helpful!

Is it possible you can make a new video on the kier starmer part of the labour party?

[@freestyleash7409]

I honestly don't know what Starmer's policies are :/ could you do a new updated video of the 3 main parties' current policy? Thanks

[@AlanHistoryNerd]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5m4iHeFirKoq7s this has some reflection on Starmer early doors. His main focus now is a windfall tax on oil companies to help on energy bills.

[@lewiswilson142]

As you've mentioned, Corbyn is now gone and Starmer will obviously have a much different set of policies compared to him, but as there is no (scheduled) election for labour for the next few years. How would you answer a question asking about Labour's policies, if they're not entirely clear yet and the current ones in most study guides are still based on Corbyn's? Would you be marked down for using Corbyn's or would the marker be more lenient?

[@AlanHistoryNerd]

This year I would say that the 2019 Manifesto would definitely be seen as being reasonably up to date, this may shift as we go forward. Without a proper party conference this year and no election yet fought and all focus on COVID it is hard to fully pin down policy. More could be clear after local elections in the summer. I'd be tempted at the moment to use 2019 with the caveat of some movement since Starmer took over, possibly also look at his speech from 18th Feb that set out some of his policies.

Happy to hear that!

Hi Alan thank you for the video I was wondering what you think about cutting our content for revision now that the advanced information has been released. Do you reccomend revising just 3 out of 4 of each of the topics on component 1 and component 2 and then revising only 1 out of Conservativsm and socialism. Thanks. Hope that makes sense :) thanks you

[@AlanHistoryNerd]

I think I'd be more cautious and try to revise everything they've said will be on just to be sure, otherwise there could be a horrible question or source you can't avoid

THANK YOU

[@aaaaaaa6954]

Hi, thanks for this Is there any ways you reccomend for finding out the new in-date information regarding the UK political parties for the exam ? Cheers

[@AlanHistoryNerd]

2019 Manifestoes are still valid (largely what I used in my videos) Queen's Speech should be good for the Tories. As for Labour the criticism at the moment is that they haven't made it clear what they stand from and what has changed since 2019. For all you could look at campaign materials from the recent local elections

This is quite biased. Nothing about why the Iraq war was "controversial" or what New Labour's involvement in that was. Claiming the Tories were divided over Europe in 2019 is effectively false: Johnson had already built a pro-Brexit cabinet and their entire election campaign was about 'getting Brexit done". Meanwhile Starmer, as shadow Brexit secretary announced at the 2018 Labour conference that a Labour government would hold a second referendum with the option to 'remain' being on the ballot, which was NOT LABOUR POLICY. The leadership were then forced to make it official. That position led to swathes of Brexit voters feeling that Labour had abandoned them: indeed all but two of the seats Labour lost in 2019 were constituencies in which the majority had voted to leave the EU. Perhaps this will be updated to cover the revelations about right wingers in the Labour party sabotaging the party's election chances.....nah.
