I have to say I was quite impressed with his first press conference. He talks a decent game at least and has made some interesting cabinet appointments (Valance, the prisons guy and the new Attorney General)

[Politics] The Labour Government

No, and Starmer and/or Streeting said pre-election they can't and won't do that.
But both sides will be entering discussions with a willing and positive mindset actively looking for resolution. That alone will make a compromise middleground easier to find.
Not easy at all. Their demands cannot be afforded nor can the precedent be set, whilst Starmer also needs to demonstrate that he is strong enough to stand up to the unions. However, the doctors will be expecting to get close to the deal they want now the tories have been routed.
If, but equally importantly how, Starmer resolves this dispute could define the next 5 years for, from his perspective, better or for worse.
No pressure then!
The strange thing is that according to all political parties ( with the exception of the Tories ) and some experts, we're currently being taxed more than ever. It does raise the question where all this tax take goes - surely a prudent Labour government would be able to spend the tax take more wisely than the previous government - i.e. not giving it to their mates for duff PPE. Unless of course the tax take has ended up in the same place as the missing FA Cup Final money.

Unless I'm being whooshed, why and how has it, exactly?It's been a shit show so far, although the ghosting of Emily 'Thorny' Thornberry has to be a good thing.

Given that the Covid enquiry
regarding the UK's pandemic response and, by extension, future pandemic policy remains ongoing, it seems entirely inappropriate to bring Vallance into a cabinet position until said enquiry reaches its conclusions.

Every time I see your food posts, I get hungry- My grocery bill is going to increase if you post every day on this thread for the next 5 years
PS this is the non-serious new government thread isn’t it

That dish was superb, pork belly and halibut. I’m sure this will be state subsidized under Starmer.
