Labour reveals first steps of a Starmer government

The Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer has announced the six first steps his government would make if he wins the General Election later this year. The promises include cutting NHS waiting lists and recruiting more teachers. But the overarching theme was stability and caution with the public finances.

Sir Keir said the policies were a "down payment on change" and he blamed the economic crisis during Liz Truss's premiership for the fact that he was not being more ambitious.

Someone willing to admit they changed a plan because circumstances changed is already massive improvement from the last 12 years.

All 6 pledges will be scrapped this coming Monday morning on sky news.😂😂😂

Genuine question, is anyone actually buying this?

[MarkFarrington-hbne]

Might as well be written on a sheet of toilet paper, a bland nothingness, the card and Starmer both

[barrysnelson]

What is astonishing is that people will vote, and may well even elect, a politician who offers policies which anyone can see are guaranteed failures.

[brianeke]

I already have hope thanks. I hope Labour don’t get into Government.

32, 000 schools in the uk. education is devolved in wales, NI and Scotland. that leaves 24, 000 schools in england. and he is hailing 6500 teachers as a vote winner? thats 1 teacher for every 3.5 schools.

1. Say I'm better than Corbyn. 2. Say Israel needs to do all "she" can to defend "herself". 3. Remind people that I'm better than Corbyn. 4. See what family benefits can be further cut. 5. 6. Profit.

They're just 'new Tories '.

Gosh this interview is so bad for Starmer: He thinks the UK needs "stability" i.e. state pro quo, in another words, no change, but what the people in the UK need is a big change for a big improve asap - this is why people want Labour to replace Conservative in the coming election. The UK and its people needs investment, not financial austerity, to get better after 14 years of conservative's money cutting.

[memeone]

He speaks just like Blair. He's absolutely modelled himself on the Liar.
