Labour have made such a monumental mess in 5 months that the PM is having a relaunch. Do you think there will be any changes in direction?

Whatever they do, they'll meet themselves coming back.  Rachel Reeves last week promised businesses she wouldn't tax them further.  This week she changed her mind.

[ToraToraTora]

I don't think Rachel from accounts has the remotest clue what she is doing. She seems to think that the targets for her taxation will just pay up and look big. She does not seem to have factored in the cause and effect of her actions.

She must have some civil servants with some sort of a clue, either she is ignoring them or they are just letting her hang herself.

Last chance saloon Keir baby, prove them all wrong or do the honourable thing and go full Truss.

[naomi24]

Their promises on spending are totally out of control.  They're going to throw money at everything - but it's money they haven't got and never will have.

[Deskdiary]

They'll still be banging on about this mythical black hole.

[naomi24]

 I see very little going into the generation of wealth, DD - I don't think they have a clue about that - they're only interested in  spending it.

Another serious contribution to the debate from Gulliver.

Government by sound bites no real policys

According to the BBC, KS has said the targets will give voters the power to hold his government to account at the next election.

We've always had this power, so what's new?

[naomi24]

Perhaps he doesn't know that, Vulcan.  He's not exactly the sharpest tool in the tool cabinet.  😂

the BBC report bullet point 2 as "building 1.5million homes in England".

that's not much good on its own, the occupiers of these homes need support infrastructure (that won't be the 150 major infrastructure projects also mentioned in bullet point 2) such as shops, GP surgeries, schools, and sustainable transport provision. recent experience is that newbuild estates have none of these (the developers usually "run out of money" before then), meaning the residents have to leave the estate for everything they need, and a lack of sustainable transport means the only safe way to leave the estate is by car.

One item that is missing from the list of six milestones/targets is illegal immigration- no mention of stopping boats or returning unlawful entrants

He made his announcements yesterday at the home of farce Pinewood Studios. Carry On Up the Khazi it is then

Seven PILLARS, six MILESTONES, five MISSIONS, three FOUNDATIONS - but not ONE firm target to cut migration. Our sketch writer QUENTIN LETTS endures Starmer's bingo hall parade of buzzwords and political nerdspeak

This is what Quinten Letts said.

""Pinewood film studios have, over the decades, seen their share of box-office flops and glass-jawed boobies who thought they were God’s gift.
Now Sir Keir Starmer, the George Lazenby of prime ministers, had chosen the place for his Government’s relaunch.
‘Reset’ was Downing Street’s preferred term, but in movies they say ‘take two’.
That’s after the first attempt was a disaster, with the main actor pulling the doorhandle off, fluffing his lines and stepping on his leading lady’s hem, ripping her dress and leaving her starkers.
‘Back to the top, please,’ says the director. ‘And Keir, darling, remember you’re supposed to be prime minister, not a bloke come to read the meter.’""

And ...

 ""the room was by now rigid, paralysed by ennui – he snapped ‘change and reform are coming’. At which he glared at us like a startled lavatory brush.

I suppose I have heard worse speeches by a prime minister, speeches more constipated by cliche and meaningless slogan. But I cannot immediately think of one""

A Startled lavatory brush. Haha. I have laughed until it hurts.

2TK and his cohorts havnt a clue I'm afraid, just like his two supporters on here.
