“Take your best shot,” condemned man tells firing squad
I don’t think he’s unreasonable to say this. A lot of the problems the country faces are structural, and a consequence of years – or even decades – of neglect.
Examples: housing, public transport, child poverty, spatial inequality.
Those things don’t take just 1 year to fix. The policies his Government are introducing to tackle these issues will likely take years to build positive impact.
Fair enough. With all the PMs in recent years, we seem to be in a mindset where we think we can just change PMs every 18 months and things will change.
At best you are going to last until a bit after the may elections. At worst you’ll be ousted by Christmas. Or perhaps its the other way round considering how shit of a PM you are. You talk about Nigel Farage never being in Clacton but Starmer is never even in the fucking country.
When you think about how little Rishi really did. Truss irreparably damaged UK gilt prices. Boris did Boris.
How the feck do we have a population hating so much on this government.
Renters bill, workers bill, breakfast clubs, record infrastructure approvals, small modular reactor approval, millions more appointment, 1000 new gps instead of physician associates…the list goes on
Oh but some rich pensioners lost some money, they must be really bad.
Edit
Sorry rishi had his AI summit
Actually Keir old chum, if it’s alright with you, we’ll judge you right now. May Johnson Truss and Sunak – you had the lowest bar possible and you have effortlessly slithered under it.
Seems they were being judged after 6 months – “what’s going on here? Nothing has been fixed already!”
It’s a combination of hardcore Tory voters and a certain generation that expects pot-noodle results.
The Tories (enabled by half the electorate) were given free reign to fuck everything up (like a dodgy tenant) for decades and somehow instant fixes were expected.
Oh Kier, you poor sweet baby, you think you’ll be leading the Labour party at the next election.
The next local elections and Scottish/Welsh Parliaments are months away. Yes I imagine Labour will get judged on its performance there.
Keir Starmer, to me just seems like a fairly normal bloke doing his best. He’s been hitting international relations out of the park at probably the toughest time for them in the last 70 years. Love or hate his domestic policy, things are actually getting done now. We aren’t just getting fed pledges and ambitions anymore. Immigration is taking a big hit, more illegals are getting deported, and actual plans that may work for tackling asylum seekers.
Economically, what does anyone expect? A hot in Europe, a soft war against Russia, a lunatic in the White House, a poor recovery from COVID, on going Brexit pain, public services cut to the bone. It’s probably the worst legacy since the second world war.
On the con side, comes across as boring and is doing nothing radical.
There is no sensible reason to replace him.
Absolutely agree.
If we continue to ‘reform’ (cut) welfare, stealth tax the middle class more (whilst keeping tax thresholds frozen) and ‘manage’ (definitely not austerity) our budget deficits by cutting public spending – we will surely be massively popular by 2029?!
I don’t think he will be Prime Minister at the next election. Time will tell.
Just give him time. It takes time to turn an oil tanker. I know, the things all have said. In 4 years time. Judge him then. 14 years of poor leadership needs a steady hand.
Well you will be out by the next election, so that says all it needs to say
Like sure realistically thats when we can next judge you at that but this is feeling very trussy indeed
This has always been one of his biggest failings. He wants to be judged on the things he does and doesn’t do, that isn’t how British politics works unfortunately. Our moronic voterbase rely on soundbites and emotion based reasoning.
Cater to peoples emotions and you win, cater to their non-existent critical thinking and you lose.
