Here comes the tax rises

He isn't in any danger but it's a rough start. He will get a few years barring any massive story but they do need to show progress as we come to the end of the first term.

In the end it will be the economy, the NHS and crime that will dictate how it will go.

Keir Starmer hits new low in personal popularity ratings


Even before the Labour gathering in Liverpool – originally billed as a chance to celebrate its return to power after 14 years – Starmer’s ratings had collapsed 45 points since July to -26 by last weekend (with 24% approving of the job he was doing, against 50% who disapproved). Conference week, however, saw a further drop of four points to -30, by far the lowest he has ever recorded.

And despite promising to lead a “government of service” and rebuild faith in politics, only 17% of people think it is doing well in this regard, against 58% who think it is doing badly.

Doing well then

I see on the news that despite the face KS said they will not raise tuition fees, they are now looking at raising them inline with inflation.


Now you see you I was the only one brave enough to click on Tory in the recent election pole.

You genuinely wanted more of the last 14 years?! Seriously?

Surely you didn't expect the truth or him not to u turn on every pledge, i mean his nickname was sir flip flop.

I think 2/3 months is a little early to fully judge the current Govt, but you have to admit its not been a great start.

It’s amazing how many people seem to think 2 to 3 months is plenty enough time to judge a government trying to fix a mess caused by 14 years to “austerity” and corruption.

one of starmers own mp's wrote

“Someone with far-above-average wealth choosing to keep the Conservatives’ two-child limit to benefit payments which entrenches children in poverty, while inexplicably accepting expensive personal gifts of designer suits and glasses costing more than most of these people can grasp — this is entirely undeserving of holding the title of Labour prime minister.”

She added: “Forcing a vote [on the winter fuel payment] to make many older people iller and colder while you and your favourite colleagues enjoy free family trips to events most people would have to save hard for — why are you not showing even the slightest bit of embarrassment?”


It's quite an achievement to sully the office of Primeminister in 12 short weeks and have an MP resign the party whip.

It is, and by no means is this a competition. But nobody has ever, or ever could, sullied the office of the PM quite as impressively as bullshitting Boris.

(57 resignations under his ensure).

I don't know why anyone would think it would "afford me some comfort" given that I as well as everyone else had to live through all that general shithousery.

But there's nothing wrong with stating the pointlessness of comparing one Prime Minister who's has one MP resign during his tenure with another who managed to get 57 rats deserting the sinking ship.

[Russ]

I'm guessing it's almost as impressive as 57 in 13 days.

So as someone who’s supposedly ‘brave brought’ to click Tory. Would you care to comment on Kemi Badenochs statement regarding maternity pay ?

[Kursk]

But shouldn't we be discussing the current Government's policies? I mean, Rosie Duffield's letter to the Prime Minister, really is a keeper.

Oh dear
