I am uncertain though what Labour propose to do to turn our economy round? I’ve heard Starmer criticising the government but not heard any suggestions about what Labour would do.

Have I missed something? Obviously if a GE is called then all parties will start putting forward a manifesto but I’d like to hear now.

It really worries me how we can turn things around.

Their own back benchers have a lot of power.

He is speaking for the majority, but we are stuck with them.

It does seem that this is the only way forward. Not because the government has no mandate but because their in fighting means that the country currently does not have a functional government. How long can this be allowed to continue?
