Keir Starmer vows to rebuild Britain as Labour did after second world war

25 comments

1. Clement Atlee actually had a spine, and a sweeping vision. 

   Starmer is not that guy. 

2. Is there really a need to post this stuff here? It’s just a bit wearisome and pathetic that these kind of articles are being pumped out, like a dog trying to pass a chewed up sock.

3. You know what Labour did after the second world war?

   Found the NHS and the Welfare State. The single greatest unambiguously good thing the UK has ever done in its history.

   Not a single soul in the Labour party has the guts to do anything that transformative as it would directly step on the toes of their wealthy donors and benefactors.

   E: Muting.

4. He seems devoid of enthusiasm and any passion. If any of these people cared for the UK and had any credibility, they would resign and leave it to someone more capable. Although I have no idea who that is and they probably have common sense enough not to want to do it anyway. One things for sure, it will be his family’s legacy for the next 100+ years and they won’t need to worry about money or contacts. That’s all being a Politician is about, feathering your nest and being your families legacy. Just like the decedents of MP’s from 200 years ago, they live in big mansions in the countryside and are still well connected. Thier brood are probably Hedge Fund Managers, asset stripping the country now.

   God save the King eh?

5. Oh how I wish you believed in what you ‘vowed’. You feel that you have the right tools but we all know you are probably incapable. You have been half hearted in everything you’ve ever done, mediocre, pathetic. We shall stand back and watch you fail, not in a massive showstopper but tremblingly, disconsolately, ineffectually.

6. He’ll need to have some transformative policies then, but at least he’s got the 2017 and 2019 manifestos to look at for inspiration.

7. To be fair Truss and the Luftwaffe have a lot in common

8. Thing is he’s purged any mps who would support policies that would actually do this.

   He will tinker round the edges and lose to a reform/tory coalition in 5 years. It is so so predictable.

9. Please just fix the damn trains the commute and the daily cost are criminal for a so called first world country

10. I’d love it if he could. I won’t hold my breath, but it would be good if he proves the doubters wrong

11. 2025 im pretty sure the UK will slip back into recession again..

12. It’s easy to say what they want to do

    But so far their policies are doing the opposite

    They are like a hen house of headless chickens

13. He needs to be bold on immigration or reform will be in next election.

14. Might want to start know mates 6 months gone and fuck all but doom and gloom and an inflationary budget

15. Things that are awful in the UK:

    Water
    Electricity
    Gas
    Trains routes
    Costs to commute
    NHS
    Postal Service
    Roads
    Fibre optic

    Please add.

16. We are probably at or nearing the top of the exponential economic growth curve. We need to be prepared for a post growth society. This isn’t the fault of any politicians, it is the result of our changing demographics and growing population. There is no way politicians will be able to match the growth of the post war period

17. Bullshit. Like the rest of the establishment they won’t do anything that doesn’t benefit the rich.

18. Don’t vow to do it. Actually do it.

    You have a stonking majority and a population sick of the same old thing for the last 30 years. You’ve spent the first 6 months saying how shit things are and are tanking in the polls as a result.

    You literally have nothing to lose. Just fucking go for radical change, for God’s sake.

19. Yet another sound bite that is spineless with no intention of action, it’s just another pathetic attempt at propaganda

20. The difference was that was a real, left-wing government that committed to meaningful, powerful policies.

    Neoliberalism doesn’t have the ambition, the skillset or the moral compass to do that, much like the right doesn’t.

    I’d love to be proven wrong but i can’t see how that would happen.

21. Fucking get on with it then cunt. Stop cutting funding and punishing normal people, start taxing millionaires and start funding social programes.

22. Keir has neither the spine nor the bold vision required.

23. Honestly, not even got the balls to legalise cannabis. Something that would fill that 20bn hole in gains and savings very quickly. I expect very little but certainly less piss taking than under the tories

24. “Our Clem” didn’t smash up the family farms while encouraging tax avoidance via the abuse of APR.

    It’s a weird Thatcherite version of socialism when the means of production are forced from the hands of the workers and into the arms of millionaires and multinationals.

    Very weird.

25. Oh shut up starmer you melon. I’m in my mid 30’s now and have been through the 08 crash, Brexit, COVID.

    I’ve come to accept it will never be better, I’ve got to make it better for myself and then I’ll die.

    ‘The financial crash means that we have to make tough decisions..’

    ‘In ten years we will…’

    ‘We have to think about 20 years down the line…’

    ‘Well Brexit means that..’

    ‘Well because of COVID we had to..’

    ‘Well you see the conflict in Ukraine means instability for..’

    You’ll spend your entire life waiting for the results from these sycophants (no matter which party) while they gorge themselves, on all of the fruits their positions of power allow them.
