Starmer to warn ‘unpopular decisions’ needed to improve UK

He'll use a speech on Tuesday to claim that the Conservatives left the economy in a state that was "worse than we ever imagined" - and it would take "unpopular decisions" to rebuild.

But he's under pressure within his party to increase spending.

Yet there is always money for wars, money for ridiculous pay rises for select people, cut the expenses of MPs etc. Always the most vulnerable who are targeted.

Meanwhile British oil and gas companies are announcing record profits.

Whenever politicians talk about things getting worse before they get better, it's always for US, never themselves.

[lesleywurwal]

The general population has HAD IT with being the target for 'difficult decisions', having had 14 years of steadily dropping quality of life, whilst seeing the rich get obscenely rich!!

[bronson]

He has already made his excuse for the up coming poor handling of the UK. What a suprise.

We've been hearing this line for nearly 20 years now

Starmer’s decisions aren’t ‘unpopular’, they’re ‘unfair’.

[hobanagerik]

Essentially, Labour are going to do all the things they denied they were going to do in their campaign.

[davidsbain]

He must take us all for fools, if his billionaire mates paid their proper taxes, things would not have to get worse!

[tomhollins]

How can this be true? They PROMISED us that they had access to the numbers and everything was fully funded. Now they are saying it wasn't funded.

[MultipleUselessness]

I don't think cutting the pay/benefits of MPs would be that unpopular Mr Starmer

[Buckbury]

I wish he would be honest about the real problems in this country, instead of creating a smokescreen of far right threat.

[shamanahaboolist]

They'll only get worse. But we told you that would always be the case with Starmer.

[mach]

Unfortunately it seems Labour are not being honest at all.

[steveleak]

Things got worse as soon sir kier Stalin won

[TheWolfe]

Things will get better when the government has been sacked

[crotchet]

Didnt he say vote for change? More of the same

[philosophical]

Who would have thought it. Channel 4 actually holding the Labour Government to account.
