They are both looking completely out of their depth and already scrambling around for new ideas and polices. Also sounds like there are serious fractures within the cabinet. But given Rachel's previous experience of complaint handling, she should be well prepped to deal with all of that. |  |

Without the expletives and unchecked release of anger, I think that they have clearly demonstrated that their direction of travel is 180° from that which is required by a courageous and responsible government at a time when, worldwide, brave and honest leadership is the only thing that might mitigate disaster for the human race and the planet Earth. They have badly let down you and me and every other person they represent, whether we know it or not, whether we are prepared to face reality or not. |  |

Regretted voting for them within about 2 weeks. Just more tory policies and fixation on "growth" at any cost. |  |

Their complete disregard for the living environment has, however, come as a surprise. The worst thing is that they are more competent than the last lot and might be able to carry their destructive plans through. In some respects they are not Tory-lite, they are Tory-plus. |  |

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. |  |

Only the over 40's believe in a difference any longer, they are all funded and backed by lobbyists who set their agenda. Your vote has never meant so little, and it's worth less every day. Keir and Kemi play characters for the TV/Newspapers that back them to keep people voting, they are otherwise the same. People get hostile when that gets pointed out, as many people back Tory/Labour religiously, even when their Party changes and does the opposite of what they voted for, they can't seem to get it, it's like kids who refuse to accept Father Christmas isn't real. What do people expect from a leadership that has actively exiled the left-wing MPs out of their Party. Labour is a right-wing neo-liberal political party. That is what people voted for, to replace the previous right-wing neo-liberal Government. |  |

I hear you on that, but the signal of direction of travel that they have given is terminal for their chances of moving this country in the only sane direction. They've bottled it, and they can't reverse now. |  |

In all fairness, the last lot decided not to bother fixing the mess, they decided to leave it as it was and take a massive dump on the top of it. |  |

Me neither… but rather because they are far left ideologues dragging the whole country down with them… And at the moment they are far left ideologues who realise their ideas are terrible. Taxing education and and increasing employers’ tax burden was never going to be sound policy. The issue the country has is that they are dour and joyless left wing pessimists with no principles, and no idea. Sooner we get a sensible centre right government in place, the better. The fear now, of course, is that this lot have soured the country’s mood so much that we are heading for a far right win at next election.

some geometrical pedantry; it's not 180 degrees, otherwise what figure would you put on trump/truss/tories? or if they decided to reverse the block on further drilling etc? but agree that they could be doing a lot more! |  |
