    Appreciate its only been about 9 months or so, but been disappointed with Labour so far…

    Starmer doesn’t appear to be listening to the public mood on benefit reform, taxes or even the growing hostility here towards the US. It seems he’s stuck 2 years in the past and as others have suggested it’s difficult to see him as being the leader of the Labour Party. The most positive move I’ve seen him make was his warm welcome of Zelenskyy after the White House disaster.

    I don’t know if it was true, but I once read that Churchill rode the underground shortly before his famous speach which helped him get the mood of the public. Starmer really needs to doing something similar. He’s looking more out of touch every passing week.
