The policies to start nationalising a bunch of public services, abolishing no fault evictions, and the bolstered housing targets are all pretty solid. The additional union laws to help protect workers rights is amazing too.
I agree with your sentiment, none of the much needed structural change is going to occur. But he’s a damn lot better than the Tories and a reason to feel somewhat optimistic.
I’m actually downright ecstatic at the idea of there being a pro-EU LibDem opposition to a Labour party that largely has pro-EU members (even if they need to tow the party line). A boring “left” party being opposed by an also boring “left” opposition sounds damn right cheery after the last 14 years. Hopefully it’ll at least shift the conversation away from deporting people to Rwanda and into more sane territory
I get what a lot of you guys are saying about Starmer and the Labour government not being as left wing as Corbyn. I would also like someone who would use this majority to implement some really hardcore leftist policies.
But please can we just take a step back and look at what he wants to do:
I don’t know about you, but that seems at the very least, left of center. Sure, he’s not making drastic sweeping changes right off the bat. But this country needs an era of stability, whilst we make small but consistent steps in the right direction, and that’s what Starmer will give us
