Irresponsible, cowardly, Tory-lite failures.
Gutless apologists for the obscene, unequal, rabid capitalism-driven destruction of nature and of our children's futures.

I did post that the centre-right think tanks were happy with what Reeves announced yesterday, even the Institute for Economic Affairs, hardly far left ideologues. |
That’s the point I was making (badly not seems). Their inclination is far left policies, now they are attempting to implement growth with policies that are against their real beliefs. Not only are they far left, they are now far left charlatans… terrible choice of government imho. Need to introduce some incentives for first time buyers to get the housing market moving again and get companies building. It’s impossible for FTBs to buy at the moment. Think that point has been made many times by the IEA. |  | | |

I remain hopeful that you might one day, on some level, be capable of registering in your so-called brain, the information provided by this chart, which illustrates the horrific underlying problem that selfish, predatory capitalism driven by irresponsible consumerism is totally ignoring.
'Far left' are you serious? |
Not really sure why you feel the need to be so rude, but nobody here is arguing that climate change isn’t an issue, are they? I’m certainly not, old chap!! | | | |

A world population increase of 4 billion to 8 in the last 50 years would have seen an increase in global warming whatever the individual governments philosophy.
Didn't Ed Miliband say yesterday that the things like the Heathrow expansion will only happen within our committed carbon reduction targets?
I understand your anguish but you are directing it at two of the better actors on the world stage when theres far more people and countries acting in bad faith or just open defiance to climate change.
Maybe the events of the last few months have tipped a few of us over the edge and it all feels a bit hopeless. I do understand that. But if you think Labour isn't the answer at the moment in the UK then who is? The door will open to reform and that is a whole new ball game. |  |

I get your pain and anger mr, I really do. Trouble is, the voting public won't yet for something more radical. And not just here either - even more so in other, bigger and more polluting countries too.
One thing though: I'd caution against joining the growing throng of 'this govt is sh1t'. It's had very little time to sort out a sh1t-ton of problems. There's a clear move in the right of this country to set the tone of debate on this and they're doing it very well - always remember the actual alternative, not the mythical left wing one that no one will (yet) vote for. |  |

Centre right is the answer. Preferably in a proportionally representative parliament to allow continuity of policy direction [Post edited 30 Jan 13:02]

Left wing politics is done and dusted for a long time. The travel of political direction is towards the right worldwide. Let’s hope it doesn’t go too far. Having totally useless left wing governments in power like this one makes that more likely, however | | | |

define centre-right in your view. right or left of the last tory government?

Unfortunately we live in an undemocratic country, much like the rest of the world and what we need and want as a society is not mirrored by those who wield power- whoever they may be?
Who should you have voted for?
The thieving lying tories were (at last) unelectable. The Greens have yet to convince us that their policies are more than just environmental. The Libs are always the bridesmaids, never the bride, and the vile Reform party has not managed to gain enough media momentum yet, but sadly you can see it coming.
So don't blame yourself for voting Labour. We all did. We really had no choice. |  | | |

Just like it took the last lot time to fix the mess the lot before them left. |
The last lot had 14 years. Was it all fixed and hunky dory when they left office? |  |

The headline to John Crace's sketch seems to me to be one way of teasing Reeves without being sexist.

Don’t blame yourself you didn’t have much choice.
Fingers crossed that by next election everyone has forgotten “vote for change” otherwise we could end up with Reform having a say in a coalition government.
Reeves sat next to Starmer at PMG’s yesterday expressionless as if she didn’t want to be there. Either, or both of them, are not going to last the distance. |
Do you mean PMQs?
She wasn't there. |  |

What is the point of Labour? Power for power’s sake. The writing was on the wall with the manner in which Starmer obtained the Labour leadership. No idealogy, no ideas, hand in hand with the mega rich and biased media. | | | |

Conveniently ignoring the number of votes Reform amassed there! In a PR parliament they'd also have considerable clout. | |

Given it's been a few months, as opposed to 14 years, no, no evidence we've been conned. There certainly isn't the corruption we saw under the last government. There isn't "kicking the can down the road" like with the overcrowded prisons, or the various strikes over pay and conditions. There's no hiding of how bad the economy really is, with a covered up black hole, but efforts (however unpopular some might be) to redress. So plenty of change already.
You're not really interested though, you're just desperate for Labour to fail.
You were asking why "the gangs aren't smashed yet" a few weeks into the new government. You're putting up ridiculous standards for Labour to achieve which are a way higher bar than you ever gave the Tories. | |

Well at least you acknowledge Blair/Brown's govt left a mess. There's a a start. |
Fair play to Brown, he was genuinely making inroads in the face of a global financial crisis. Then Call Me Dave decided to take a dump on it by blaming poor people for it. |  |
