What improvement can you show the readers , really struggling myself |
Off the top of my head.
Ended industrial action in key services.
Delivered the 2 million NHS appt target early.
Deported record number of failed asylum seekers.
Binned the idiotic Rwanda plan.
Massively increased raids to target illegal workers.
Closed a massive tax loophole.
Introduced the child wellbeing bill (The tories and reform voted against this)
Overturned restrictions on onshore wind development.
Improved a childlike relationship with the EU.
As I've said. I don't vote Labour. But they're an imporvement on the Tories, who themselves are more sensible than reform. | | | |

The industrial action ending cost a helluva lot of money though and was controversial.
I'm not sure they have improved much with the EU yet, that's a slow burner for me. Lets see the outcome before boasting.
Now the onshore wind farms, that could be a very important move given Russia's alleged sabotage of undersea cables,

Of course it does. Parachuting your lawyer mates into the House of Lords (which Starmer pledged to abolish) so you can give them top government jobs also comes under the category of cronyism and VIP fast lanes.
Anyone thinking this lot are any better than the last lot must be seriously deranged. |
REALLY!
Have you forgotten Bojo and Liz Truss already!

The Normans arrived in England in 1066 and rapidly colonised the Anglo Saxons. They are never projected as a "beaten people".
Wales finally accepted Norman (now English) rule in 1463 some 400 years later? What do you think they were doing all that time?. I do not like criticising individual posters but you seem pretty ignorant of history.
Lots of history in there I suggest. Remember during this period the hard nut Norman had trampled all over the middle east building castles in Turkiye and Lebenon and Cyprus among others. These were brutal times and the Welsh were no push overs.
Not like today when the poodles sing "we know what we are" and reject English hoodlums do anything wrong with their ethnic slurs. [Post edited 20 Feb 0:16]

The thing is they hate the thought of the status quo changing , not very progressive of them but hi ho that's what narrow thinking does for the soul. |
Nobody wants the Status Quo.

I don't think accepting free Taylor Swift tickets is up there with appointing Dido Harding and Kate Bingham to the two most important civil service roles during the biggest crisis to hit the world in a generation.
Springsteen tickets maybe, but not Taylor Swift. | | | |

It did cost a lot, but in the main stuck by recommendations from independent pay reviews. And Labour had to stump up a lot of back pay they shouldn't really have needed to.
Having read Johnson's memoir, the relationship with the EU was terrible. Fuelled mainly by Cummings and friends. I'm no fan of the EU but they're are biggest partner. We need them.
I must say though Johnson did say the UK could be the Saudi Arabia of wind power. He was right about that, it's a shame it was so difficult to deliver. | | | |

As you say the new government honoured the recommendations of the independent pay panels.
In previous years, the government told the pay panels what was affordable and the pay review bodies reviewed the submissions from the staff associations and the management etc and made a decision based on all the facts.
If the outgoing government did not issue directions re affordability the independent pay review bodies wouldn’t have a baseline to work to and could in theory be “independent” and make a decision as they saw fit.
This poses the question why didn’t the government of the day issue guidance on affordability? Was it because they forgot? Was it because they didn’t want to alienate public sector workers and lose their votes in an election and were kicking the can down the road? Was it because they hoped to get over the line by winning the GE,then flatly rejecting the outcomes of the reviews and then imposing what the government saw fit? Be interesting to find out not that we ever will! | | | |

Nigel Farage has spoken:
I’m sure he’d have said the same to Churchill in the middle of WW2… |
Following the Narvik Debate and the defenestration of Chamberlain pretty much all opposition parties were more than willing to put their political differences aside and work in unison to the benefit of the war effort. Churchill and Attlee, polar opposites in politics, background and character. Genuine titans in our nations history. How fortunate we were that both came along at the greatest hour of need? Where Churchill was strong, the oratory, the charisma, the character, Atlee was weak. But Atlee offered things Churchill could not. The boring admin, organising. The simple things behind the scenes he took care of with little fuss and little fanfare. We never would have won the war without Atlee either. But that is seldom celebrated.
The situation at the time electorally and democratically was more than acceptable. They had to do what they did because they were ultimately in survival mode. For once party politics came second. They worked together, used their talents for the benefit of the county and it ultimately led to our “finest hour”. |  |

I forgot about Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge. Or should it be Baroness Johnson?? I don't suppose we'll ever really know. She definitely reminds me of someone though. | | | |
