Re: Starmer’s chronicles

I was about to say the Poll Tax but looked it up and it was Major who got rid of it. I never thought it went ahead.

Funnily enough, the following year, she did a U-Turn on defence spending (cutting it, having previously prioritised defence spending over economic policy and financial control), and the year after that (after the Falklands) another one (increasing it)… ;)

In better news it’s great to see breakfast clubs will be brought in for school kids :tu:

Maybe a donor somewhere is benefiting from this but this is great for low-income families

What U-turn has he done? He's promising growth but keeping us out of the Single Market which might deliver on this aim.

Is it that he's not signed the trade deal with the US that Brexiters talked up? If so, Trump's tariffs regime is likely to put paid to this pipe dream.

Has he done any since being in power? I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

Which U-turn on the EU has he done? Hint: I'm not going to read a lengthy and heavily politicised document on every change in thinking a politician has made in their life time!

The U-Turn is probably campaigning for a 2nd referendum before the 2019 election and then calling it settled after that election when he became leader.

So when has he followed this?

It will require a different way of working. One of openness, of collaboration and transparency in everything we do.

The petition is to be debated.

MPs will debate an online petition calling for a re-run of July's general election, after it garnered over 2.8 million signatures.

Nothing, the question on whether he has U-turned on "anything" was asked.
