Those policies have taken a great deal of discussion in the party to reach, and he is dealing well with the realities by making some modest key points. Nothing pie in the sky. Or flashy populist stuff (except everyone will support the NHS one, surely, because there is a great emphasis on increasing training numbers combined with realism about what cannot be done quickly or magically.

Its solid and sensible, and why should he change it, Ilovecheese, unless new factors enter in that cannot possibly be predicted.

🤣🤣🤣 votes at 16? At the last elections the 18+ youth couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed and vote even though they had been chanting “ooh Jeremy Corbyn” at Glasto and he had promised them the earth.

16 year olds won’t put down their phones long enough to vote 🤣🤣

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”
