Regarding the original topic of this thread I couldn’t be more pleased that Sure Start will return. I volunteered with Home Start for many years and also served on the committee. This similar organisation did much for young families and I’m so glad to have played a small part in it.
As for the latest post you have no need for a tin hat! I’m speechless! All we can do is wait and see.

It sounds promised but are some of these for England only (again!)?

Great news.
It’s one of a number of proper labour policies announced recently. Curiously they don’t get banner headlines

Could you tell us what these policies are Iam .... I really need something to feel happy about!

There will be no song and dance about it, like for example the WFA, as it doesn't affect the majority's pockets!

I'm glad it's back. It's essential that very young children get the help they need in their early years.

That is one of the best things that Labour ever did for deprived children.

They should be making more of a song and dance about it.

Well done!!

Best Start is what it us called. This is exactly what I have been wanting this government to do from day one. Thank goodness for a proper Labour policy at last. We just have to hope that subsequent governments do not knock it on the head as happened before.
