According to the headline report in the guardian today.

Starmer “if you think that our job in 1997 was to rebuild a crumbling realm, that in 1964 it was to modernise an economy overly dependent on the kindness of strangers, in 1945 to build a new Britain, in a volatile world, out if the trauma of collective sacrifice, in 2024 it will have to be all three”

Starmer then went on to pad out some of the policies he intends to introduce, including investment in a green agenda, expansion of NHS staff, votes at 16, fundamental reform of workers rights, recognise people’s need for stability, order, security.
“We must understand that there are precious things-in our way of life, in our environment, and our communities - we must protect, preserve and pass on to future generations.

The Tories do nothing to protect our rivers and seas, our NHS, or families or nation”

We don't need a reforming government we need a transformative government people like the polices of public ownership, taxing the richest, not bringing private providers into NHS. There are still a lot of people who agree with and still want these things. The question is not about Corbyn but the polices that are still needed now. Starmer's doners with private health interests big business, very establishment thats all.

It is so funny how the only response from those middle of the road people who keep calling me far-left is condemnation of Corbyn. Never any policies they believe in or actions they will expect. It's almost like a vacuum the lack of real ideas. And it is scary.
