[Politics] Are Labour going to turn this country around?

I am sorry to say, his speech on this made him look like rather silly. He seemed to be implying he was responsible for AI and it would save us, as if no other country will be using it and as if he was the inventor. I still think we need a change of PM very soon, he has disappointed me on so many levels, he is destroying what labour are all about.Starmer on AI... inspirational

If he is expecting the civil service & NHS to come up with a workable system which doesn't cost an arm & a leg, take years to happen then not work properly, he is sorely mistaken. How many billions did the NHS squander on a new IT system which ended up being junked?

Given his background I think (admittedly with hindsight) that he would be better suited to Home Secretary
Maybe, but you wouldn't want Cooper as PM, would you!
I was no fan of Boris Johnson and the rest of the then government but they didn't really have a manual to read from when Covid came round. There does need to be a proper inquiry as to what worked and what didn't at the time so we know better for next time.
Fully agree about not making promises in opposition you can't keep.
He could have had a ruddy good go.

Just been confirmed that RR will remain for this Parliament, fantastic news.

Stupid, he's locked himself into a corner now. They don't learn.Just been confirmed that RR will remain for this Parliament, fantastic news.
You would have to say, a reshuffle is needed in most posts, particularly Keir's. I can't forgive him for the pensioners winter fuel payments, I was hoping he would admit he had went a step to far and do a U turn. But when he accepted all the freebies this damaged him hugely.
He doesn't have the integrity of a true labour leader.

In fairness.. the remoaners and labour wanted this..Labour going to turn this around?
Good one..
I've never voted in my life!
He is level par with Truss
Retirement age will have to go up to 70 as we're gaining an extra million immigrants each year without the facilities to do so..
NHS can't cope.. roads and schools can't cope.. housing can't cope.. well done
Starmer!

An interesting theory - although from anonymous sources so make of it what you will.
The WFA cuts and Farmers inheritance tax increase have been in a Treasury Civil service “wish list” folder for a long time and the Treasury Department have tried to have them implemented in the past with previous Chancellors.

So - whom on the Labour benches would you have instead?
Net immigration has INCREASED since Brexit (2022 was double that of 2015) - what's that got to do with 'remoaners?'
Also, nothing whatsoever to do with Labour and the last six months.
Isn’t this due to Ukraine and HK, refugees escaping tyrannies?
I don't know, but I do know they are sinking our party forever if something doesn't happen. I was told Reform polled level with us, which is shocking. Who would you feel more confident with that can pull this around ?
Some, but relatively small in context of the overall figure.
I don't particularly feel 'unconfident' with Starmer. I'm not the one calling for a reshuffle!
Why? He has lost the voter completely?

It is interesting how many of NSC's political 'centrists' are now so active over all the various political threads on NSC.
Hardly a post in the last 9 years about Farage and Johnson's Brexit debacle, Johnson's lies, law breaking, incompetence and corruption in power, the backhanders flying throughout Covid, the Truss Kwarteng disaster crashing the economy, the impact of 'austerity' on the NHS, Judiciary, Prisons, Mental Health services, the infrastructure of the country etc, from people who 'don't do politics' or 'don't get involved'.
But now given the most centrist Government of the last 14 years, a sudden renewed interest in finding fault with every aspect of anything the Government does or says from those very same centrists. Well who'd have thunk it.
Maybe Starmer is a left wing communist claiming to be a centrist because it couldn't be the alternative couldn't it
