    Im not a full blown leftie either but have always thought utilities and public transport dont lend themselves to privatisation so Id certainly support renationalisation of those but at the moment anything is better than the tories we have now They are running a government on slogans and lies whilst the country is being screwed by Covid (not really their fault) and their inept response ( that is theirs) and I cant wait for the sunlit uplands in January because as far as I can tell they are winging it and that will be a big problem next year

    I was out Nov/ Dec as a lot of others were but it all just felt like we were rowing against the tide and as though some were happier arguing than being credible.

    Whichever way you look at it if we can't get into power we are irrelevant which is where we ended up.

    It's a long road back and Starmer was chosen democratically to at the forefront of here we go next.

    All this red tory rubbish is a bit lazy and no better than the rubbish we had for the last 5 years under Corbyn and we can't afford it with the mountain we have to climb.

    We have to start somewhere. Or we’d have a nation of non voters. You can only vote for what’s put in front of you when the manifesto is released nearer the time. Whether you think they can deliver is not relevant. Cos that happens to ALL parties. If labour only get half through it’d be more than the tories. In fact Tories tend to go the other way.

    To me Starmer is very similar to Blair in that he is a legal expert and good at criticising or pulling apart his opponents at the dispatch box, with rigorous cross examinations which is fine - not actually seen him come up with viable alternatives to what the government are currently doing though - criticism in itself is no good unless you offer an alternative - you have to make people believe you can offer something different to win votes - not done this for me yet and this statement confirms it.

    Exactly what are you expecting at this time.
    Time to offer something will be in the next manifesto. The extent of Covid on the economy will Dictate policy. The statement is aspirations. How he hopes to attain em will take more than 1 parliament. it will be a long process. I fear.
    Re Covid very difficult to put your views forward when when we had operation cobra. And a man hell bent on only listening to scientists. And not enforcing common sense. Which anyone with half a brain were already doing. Starmer is quite right to point out the incompetence of let’s be honest. The worst leader in living memory. Thatcher was just evil. But I think she’d have handled it better than this fckuwit.
    Everyone keeps asking Starmer how we will restore the economy. Eg tax. I’ve Yet to hear that question put to Boris. Can guess the not so well off will have to tighten their belts. ( More than Starmer would consider)Tis what these Tory b’stds do.
