See inflation now has raised 4.6 percent on food in the UK. A cost that every family has to suffer every week. Still out Dear Prime Minister and co tells us how well there doing. On average £250 a year for the average family with two children

I'm old enough to remember when Disinformation Dave would routinely make excuses for high inflation.

He mysteriously stopped making excuses for it about 12 months ago for some reason.

But not to worry, he'll be along shortly with some crappy, semi-literate disclaimer.

Personally, I'm surprised that he hasn't blamed migrants for it like his new heroes, the Fagash Führer or Agent Orange would have done.

Oh is he one of those ones? When the conservatives were in power it was everyone but the governments fault but now the other team is in power it is only the governments fault?

I mean, the government certainly has a part to play and must accept a portion of the blame with some of the policies fielded but we can’t ignore supply chain issues, wars and also uncertainty with global tariffs and the general weird energy that the world seems to be in right now. Also, let’s not let the unscrupulous supermarkets and retailers off the hook as they love any excuse to hike up prices as we all know!

Oh dear, someone has a bee under their bonnet. If you read what I wrote, I said the government certainly has a partial blame in what’s going on due to some of their policies, however we cannot ignore what else is going on in the world as causes for inflation to rise. Something tells me Mr Sleepflower was correct in his initial evaluation of you. I imagine if you were here during the glory years of 2021-2024 you probably blamed the state of our economy on Covid, Ukraine war, supply chains etc but never the government right? Just another one of those people who can’t handle that their team (although something tells me you don’t have the gravitas or self awareness to have a fixed team as that would mean you would have to admit your team is crap on occasion, you just follow whoever your media of choice tells you is the right team to support) lost.

Also Dave - Complaining about increases in minimum wage.

Also Dave - The working classes are always trying to screw us over. ( Whoever "us" is)

Also Dave - My garden is huge, I'm alright Jack, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Oh and Dave, how could you possibly know how many times I've been given a timeout? Unless you just also confessed to being a dirty grass. No-one likes a grass Dave.

Your figure is also wrong, either by accident or design. Probably the latter. It usually is from the most unchristian Christian in Christendom.

I suspect that there will be further increases in food prices later this year because of poor harvests due to the lack of rain.

Possibly right, and of course less acreage available to grow crops having been given over to solar panels! Supply and demand will dictate.

There is a guy called Wim Hoff I believe who has some great breathing and grounding techniques that you may find useful. . Very amusing, but as most on here know, I have gardens bigger than most Garden Centres. And as a Christian I don't have an ounce of bitterness in me. But on a serious note People are suffering. Frightened. And these promises made are not only lies, but things are getting much harder for many. So try and keep a conversation a little more grown up. I expect it from my little Troll. He has been suspended 3 times in past. But there are many people less fortunate in these down turn times"

You have held Fabguy orgies in your garden for most people to know the size of your garden? Not very Christian to boast about the size of your garden though really is it? I’m not the most religious but something about “The meek shall inherit the earth” springs to mind. Anyhoo, people have been, and unfortunately will continue to be frightened throughout history and throughout the future most likely. As for keeping the conversation grown up, “my little troll” is hardly high brow now is it? Also your little rant with multiple question marks earlier screams teenage girl on Snapchat more than it does political debate. Maybe sell some of your gardens and donate the money to food banks? That would be a very Christian thing to do in my eyes. Why does one man need more than one garden?

Actually not true

Tariffs

Our special relationship with America means they only fucked us half as hard as the rest of Europe and that's new. Especially as we get so much food from usa owned supply chains which are now subject to reciprocal taxes from EU. Not Starmer.

Improve NHS and stop selling off through incompetence, some headway , not a lot.

More money in our pockets? Agree he hasn't done anything significant to improve this.

Stop boat crossings he didn't say that he said he'd clear back log and improve situation , he has done net immigration is down boat crossings continue trend (but more slowly) that started under Tories.

Rishi had already gutted the protections you say he had in place. He protected wealthy pensioners as his core vote but he weakened the triple lock as much as he could.

The centre right under Starmer have simply continued Tories attack on low and middle incomes.

He did stop the strikes, and yes there are now new ones but a fraction of the total he inherited.

He's centre right , same as Blaire.

And as such he's cannon fodder after years of corrupt and inept governance, to try and quieten public anger , before media hype the next right wing puppet to continue the feeding frenzy on public purse.

How much of countries government services are now run at eye watering profit ? And for what ? The great public services we have?

How much of the country is run by Serco? G4? Big six consultants?

You want to know why the country is on its knees? Look where the money goes.

Shop local. Buy local. Buy less.

Vote local and independent too.

Demand pr in elections.

Stop the likes of Tuffton st and the governance by proxy.

I'm afraid all of that takes effort folks.

There are some very rich companies very happy that the British public will never bother to do that.

More lies as well in their manifesto they said that all enquiries like Grenfell had to be open and honest .

As like in law court so be absolutely crystal clear who to blame , no name covering with black ink or pages missing just open and honest clear .

Last week government overide that policy , as child grooming gangs coming up in depth and cancelled it .

So now they can deceive you as much as they want and distort facts . Without any comebacks or repercussions.

There's a great app called Trolley that I use sometimes when bulk buying a product. It publishes current prices of most food products sold at various supermarkets and can save you quite a lot of dosh.

So, on average a £1.25 a week per person increase - doesnt seem that bad when you put it like that.

The Tories left our economy right on its arse when booted out, so who do you think will do a better job at this time?

Surely not that proper man and friend of the working class voter - Nige - and his party of very little substance with no other policies that don't involve turning around boats.

Makeing childish sluts personally about me as false as they are is equally pointless. Fact remains that whoever bad people think last June might of been,vthe lies and false promises are all starting show now. This summertime. Goodness knows what the Autumn and winter will bring.

I did not insult you, I simply suggested you chill. I may be new here but having read the forum and site rules I am free to block who I want without cause or justification.

I do not appreciate the insinuation that I am on mind altering substances, I find that an abhorrent remark to make and I never came at you with those kinds of remarks. You have the gall to pontificate about me attacking your character and in the same breath, insinuate that I am ‘on’ something.

"See inflation now has raised 4.6 percent on food in the UK. A cost that every family has to suffer every week. Still out Dear Prime Minister and co tells us how well there doing. On average £250 a year for the average family with two children

So, on average a £1.25 a week per person increase - doesnt seem that bad when you put it like that.

The Tories left our economy right on its arse when booted out, so who do you think will do a better job at this time?

Surely not that proper man and friend of the working class voter - Nige - and his party of very little substance with no other policies that don't involve turning around boats."

. How does £250 a year equate to 1.25 a week. Average 4 person family spends £100 a week on food. That's at least £4.50 a week or £18.00 a month

"The above two posts seem to be a rational outlook on the wider scope of the situation as opposed to what may be regarded as a more blinkered approach by the OP. Nothing blinkered about 4.5 percent rise in inflation. Talking about the Tories, or Reform or abusing Farage just shows a mentality of the labour voters. Makeing childish sluts personally about me as false as they are is equally pointless. Fact remains that whoever bad people think last June might have been,vthe lies and false promises are all starting show now. This summertime. Goodness knows what the Autumn and winter will bring. Esp for vulnerable. We have Autumn budget not far away.

Blinkered in your refusal to accept that global events impact inflation here as well as our governments actions.

I’ve not mentioned sluts! I just pointed out elements of hypocrisy found in your post. Nothing to do with sluts. What you do behind closed doors is your own business. Pontificating on a relatively public forum however, leaves you open to be challenged as respectfully as possible, and sometimes not. I never mentioned sluts . Or closed doors lol No idea what your on but I suggest you cut dose down. Think your replying to someone else's post to you lol. Sent me a random text about me chilling and then block me. Cowardly act. I can assure you I am more than chilled. If you actually need me you would know that. But this is a thread about Labour poor performance. Not my personality. People like you should learn to respect people opinions without attacking them in cowardly man. Grow some Sir

Read your post again, you said personal sluts for some reason. Yes I sent you a text saying you should chill because your responses were akin to someone about to have increased blood pressure, and I blocked you because outside the forum I would like absolutely nothing to do with you. I did not insult you, I simply suggested you chill. I may be new here but having read the forum and site rules I am free to block who I want without cause or justification.

I do not appreciate the insinuation that I am on mind altering substances, I find that an abhorrent remark to make and I never came at you with those kinds of remarks. You have the gall to pontificate about me attacking your character and in the same breath, insinuate that I am ‘on’ something.

"Food prices is only set by supply and demand over supplies and the prices come down its that simple no bearing on the cost of production "

I wonder how you reached such an erroneous conclusion??

Food prices aren't solely set by supply and demand!!

Production costs, such as labour, materials, and transportation and overheads have a direct impact on price.

Ignoring these costs doesn't make the issue simple, it makes the view unrealistic!!

There is food inflation and cpi inflation, they are different. I looked back at the 2024 forcasts for both in 2025.

Guess what they seem to be both fairly accurate.

"Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecasts UK inflation to average 3.2% in 2025. This is an increase from 2.5% in 2024. The OBR expects inflation to rise temporarily, potentially peaking at 3.7% in the third quarter of 2025, before falling back towards the 2% target."

I have heard today from apparent experts this is still likely to happen in the coming months.

Food inflation forcast from 2024.

"Food prices in the UK are not expected to decrease in 2025; instead, they are projected to continue rising. While the rate of increase may slow down compared to previous years, several factors indicate a continued upward trend."

This is currently happening. It obviously does not take into consideration that 2025 is likely to be one of the driest ever, which will definitely increase food inflation still further.

So the forcast from. 2024 for 2025, appears to becoming true.

This is not my option, it is taken from data available via the Internet, as opposed to gossip on social media.

Yes because we don't want to look back at what actually ruined the country, we just want to blame who's in power now for everything.

I can't wait for farage to get in, make everything worse, blame the courts for doing their job, try to stop any news channels they don't like and then see how many people blame starmer for what went before.

Remember the just over a year ago the tories were still blaming for a fact there was a worldwide banking crash caused by America.

"Liebour by name Liebour by nature look at all the freebies Starmer been given

Oh do have a day off ffs.

Nothing compared to Boris.

The instantly recognisable political ploy of deflection exemplified!!

The issue here is the diabolical mess Starmer et al are creating now, let's focus on on the here and now and not what Boris did some three years ago!

Eh no, if you are going to address criticism of something, you need to look at what the critic supports to infer what they think is a good alternative, then judge their criticism on that basis?"

Ah yes because thest has no bearing on the present, from the party of Bozo who wanted to be Churchill, Truss who was a fake Thatcher and a party still in thrall to her… not excusing Starmers fall back, however as a nation we live far too much in the past…the good old days that never were..

It's hardly a new thing.

The Tories spent 14 years blaming the previous Labour government for the global financial crisis.

Remainers (of which I am one, just for transparency) still bang on about Brexit.

Those who wanted Brexit in the first place spent 40 years banging on about Europe, indeed they still do now so you can add another 9 years on top of that.

Yes they are just moaning tories without a leader, pay rises are averaging over 5% that's what's pushing up inflation, pensioners got 1.7% from April, their pay is based on the rpi/cpi in the previous September, so those on index linked need high inflation

Aye that’s a fair point and I didn’t look at the age of the OP.

Or do you think you can just post whatever and expect the world to just stand idly by and nod?

Quite agree with you. It is probably going to take more that one term to clear up the mess and let’s not forget that the tangerine twat across the pond is doing all he can to destroy international trade which is making it difficult for everyone as it is hitting their economies.

Brexit, Brexit, Brexit... nothing like living in the past! Remember how the sky was going to fall in if we departed the EU? Didn't happen, niether did all the job losses.

Remember COVID?? Everyone was happy to take furlough, and economies around the world were shut down. Starmer wanted us to shut down harder and longer at even greater cost. Selective amnesia rules

Are you saying that you think this government has the capacity to “clear up the mess’?

I don’t mind them saying they are going to clear up 15 years of Tory misrule. However they are giving every indication of making things far worse. I can think of nothing that they have done I or intend to do that’s going to improve anything.

Mind you, it’s hard to think of anyone who could.

That's not quite right though, is it? He wanted it to be earlier and harder, the idea being to stop it in it's tracks so that we could get back up and running sooner.

The worst thing we could have done was to sit on our hands and do nothing while a disaster was very clearly unfolding in Italy, which is exactly what happened as Spaffer missed five Cobra meetings in order to finish writing a book on Churchill.

"See inflation now has raised 4.6 percent on food in the UK. A cost that every family has to suffer every week. Still out Dear Prime Minister and co tells us how well there doing. On average £250 a year for the average family with two children

So, on average a £1.25 a week per person increase - doesnt seem that bad when you put it like that.

The Tories left our economy right on its arse when booted out, so who do you think will do a better job at this time?

Surely not that proper man and friend of the working class voter - Nige - and his party of very little substance with no other policies that don't involve turning around boats.. How does £250 a year equate to 1.25 a week. Average 4 person family spends £100 a week on food. That's at least £4.50 a week or £18.00 a month"

You said on average a £250 increase on a family of 4 - i'm assuming by that you mean an extra £250 to what is being paid.

So - using YOUR figures £250 pa equates to £5 approx per week. Divide that by 4 family members equates to £1.25 per week 🤷

Yes it would be hard for anyone to clear up the mess and it is going to take a long time especially with the £3tn+ debt - the interest payments alone are eye watering and this limits what can be done with the public finances.

However some of the non-financial issues are a result of brexit we could have returned people crossing in small boats before brexit under the Dublin agreement (but governments didn’t). It isn’t a crime in German law to help traffic migrants if their destination is not in the EU [which means us since brexit] (in the news today) Germany are in the process of changing their law so that action can be taken where warehouses are being used to store the boats and engines.

Finances well yes, it is costing us to house and feed illegals. Problem was the backlog because previous government cut the number of people processing the claims and you can’t remove them until their claim has been processed and decided. Current government has increased people doing the processing and by (I think it was) March this year had removed 19k - figures available on gov web site- just not very well publicised in the media because it sells more copy if they go on about those arriving.

So there are things going on but we don’t get to hear about them that much.

I wasn't referring specifically to immigration Since you mention Brexit and the Dublin agreement said agreement has not been a success either for us or anyone else. In 2018 for example 215 asylum seekers were transferred (mostly from Greece) INTO the UK and 209 OUT of the UK under the agreement. Big deal.

I can't wait for farage to get in, make everything worse, blame the courts for doing their job, try to stop any news channels they don't like and then see how many people blame starmer for what went before.

Mr "_espectdue (How ironic!).

Dragging Boris into this three years after he left office is now a lame and tired defence of the mess Starmer's government has created and is continuing to do so.

When Labour took over, the economy was in a much better state, with a more stable foundation for growth, a commitment to fiscal responsibility, and plans to cut taxes and support businesses.

Now, Labour's struggling to manage immigration, dismantling public services, driving up taxes, and fuelling economic instability. Not to mention the inadequate solutions to the cost of living crisis, the weakening of national security, the NHS backlog, and rising energy costs.

Instead of pointing fingers at the past, how about we focus on fixing the mess the government are making today?

The jibe about having a day off was really childish, and now a repeat of the 'AI chatbot' quip - let's keep the discussion respectful and focused on substance, if that's at all within your capabilities of course.

What are Labour's plan to adequately address these urgent issues?

Please do kindly enlighten us.

Many financial organisations are now blaming government policy for the current situation the economy is in. Reeves herself said raising NI is a tax on jobs. We can now clearly see that for ourselves.

The public sector consumes and the private sector supplies. The balance is currently wrong and needs addressing. Caving in on welfare won't help resolve this. Starmer bottled it!

And therein lies the problem… the public sector enables…roads, infrastructure, NHS etc, it may not be as efficient as it could be, but neither is the private sector that avoids tax and then moans about the state of the roads/ workers health/education etc…simplistic consume/supply statements are just that and help no one.

I didn't say anything about an ai chatbot, that was other pointing out your tendencies.

Why are you saying Labour havent got a plan to solve the immigration problem, they are doing more to sort that in the last year than the tories did in 14 years.

NHS waiting lists are coming down, they again are having to still fix the mess left to them before, they are still having problem with doctors strikes because tories haven't paid them properly for at least 8 years. The same goes for most public services.

Prisons were left at breaking point, so they've had to try to sort that out.

The tory government were completely out of long term plans, admittedly they made it look good for about a year because there was an election coming up, but the same problems would have come home to roost eventually.

You have to fix the past before you can build and yes they have made some dodgy decisions, but as many have pointed out.

Liz Truss.

Liar Johnson.

Sad as it is.., doesn’t matter what party is in power, we the general paying public will be governed by ppl who are only interested in their own vested interests.

Some of those ppl are not even in the parliament but elsewhere.

I now disregard any news, no longer watch it, I live my life as I see fit.

Pay my way

Ignore the hysterical news and lies.

Helps me keep living happy

"I didn't say anything about an ai chatbot, that was other pointing out your tendencies.

Why are you saying Labour havent got a plan to solve the immigration problem, they are doing more to sort that in the last year than the tories did in 14 years.

NHS waiting lists are coming down, they again are having to still fix the mess left to them before, they are still having problem with doctors strikes because tories haven't paid them properly for at least 8 years. The same goes for most public services.

Prisons were left at breaking point, so they've had to try to sort that out.

The tory government were completely out of long term plans, admittedly they made it look good for about a year because there was an election coming up, but the same problems would have come home to roost eventually.

You have to fix the past before you can build and yes they have made some dodgy decisions, but as many have pointed out.

Mr. _espectdue, my apologies for the earlier misunderstanding regarding the 'AI bot' comment, which I now understand was made by one of fellow Labour supporters and then subsequently endorsed by yourself.

Now to the subject in question:- There are major concerns about the effectiveness of Labour's policies. For instance, the latest figures on net migration show a significant increase, with over 1.2 million more people entering the UK than leaving in the past year. Similarly, the NHS waiting list reductions, while welcome, are modest, with over 7.5 million people still waiting for treatment and average wait times exceeding 18 weeks. The ongoing doctors' strikes highlight the need for effective management of public services and fair pay negotiations.

I would appreciate it if you could share specific plans or initiatives the government has in place to tackle these pressing issues. The public is looking for meaningful progress, and it's crucial we focus on delivering results. I notice your futile attempt at sarcasm; let's keep the focus on substance instead. Rather than trading barbs, I'd appreciate concrete examples of how Labour's plans will address these issues.

If they lower the vote to 16 we will have Corbyn as PM or he will be big competition.

Compared to the others he is honest and not a c**t so it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Just heard results of a survey on Times Radio. Apparently girls more likely to vote Corbin/Sultana type party or for the Greens.

That’s because they tend to vote with their feelings.

(Lads not so much.)

God help us.

The phrase “suicidal empathy” comes to mind.

Luckily the youth cohort will only represent 0.2% of the electorate

Sounds like a crap article.

Brexit and reform vote are largely older and male demographics and almost entirely based on feelings (emotional anger) rather than any rational argument.

You obviously didn’t read my post. It was a survey of 16/17 year olds. The sex divide in voting intentions is a known issue which the political parties are aware of.

Your opinionated last paragraph (based on your feelings perhaps) was unnecessary

It seems you're also unfamiliar with the basic concept of debating, where one responds to arguments and evidence presented rather than sidestepping them.

When questioned about these critical issues at PMQs, the Prime Minister's responses have been similarly lacking in substance you are clearly following his erroneous lead!

It's time for detailed, actionable policies, not more evasion!

Although given the inferior quality of your previous responses it seems that further engagement will be pointlessly futile, so will close the discussion here without further ado!

Is Mr RespectDue an MP? How can he give you concrete plans and initiatives? Maybe a strongly worded letter to your MP may yield the information you seek.

Unfortunately Mr Devanian, utopia is unachievable especially in 12 months, especially with the _ountain to climb in order to just get a fleeing glimpse of Utopia, let alone achieve it. Small progress is being made in some sectors but also lacking in others. The money tree is non existent and there are only so many hours in a day for significant progress to be made.

Why don’t we wait until a few years have passed and then we will be in a better position to judge the current governments performance. Would you not agree? Bickering and expecting genuine political information on a homoerotic site seems like a futile exercise to me. I am ok with the bickering as it passes the time, however genuine political enlightenment in here is never going to happen.

We will not have a change of government for a few more years yet so let’s just buckle up for the ride and have some fun along the way.

This Labour government's incompetence is clear!

Under Starmer, they've shown a reckless disregard for the country's finances, increasing taxes and spending without a plan. Their economic policies will stifle growth and burden taxpayers. They've also failed to deliver on key issues such as immigration, law and order, and national security. Instead of focusing on the needs of ordinary people, they've prioritised ideology over practical solutions.

Starmer's leadership has been marked by indecision and division within his cabinet. Ministers seem more interested in advancing their own careers than serving the public.

It's not just at Westminster where Labour's failures are evident. Here in Wales, the Labour-run Senedd has been a catalogue of failures.

"This Labour government's incompetence is clear!

Under Starmer, they've shown a reckless disregard for the country's finances, increasing taxes and spending without a plan. Their economic policies will stifle growth and burden taxpayers. They've also failed to deliver on key issues such as immigration, law and order, and national security. Instead of focusing on the needs of ordinary people, they've prioritised ideology over practical solutions.

Starmer's leadership has been marked by indecision and division within his cabinet. Ministers seem more interested in advancing their own careers than serving the public.

It's not just at Westminster where Labour's failures are evident. Here in Wales, the Labour-run Senedd has been a catalogue of failures.

The notion Labour have spent without a plan beggars belief. Of course things aren't going as well as hoped but to suggest there is no strategic vision is glib nonsense.

It's also mere rhetoric to argue Labour's program for National Renewal is immersed in ideology. When has any cabinet minister talked up ideology (socialism)? I can't think of any instances. Have independent commentators talked of an ideologically driven administration? I've heard nothing.

Your belief of failure in terms of immigration overlooks the success of Yvette Cooper in considerably reducing the

Home Office asylum backlog.

The belief that Ministers are more interested in career advancement overlooks the obvious, politicians regardless of party often seek to do so.

In terms of Wales, surely the Welsh Labour Party's performance has to be perceived separately from Starmer's administration- which is what your criticism is essentially about?

The irony being why Labour was elected. The electorate delivered it's verdict on the ineptitude of tory governance- including the economic disaster of Trussism and the plethora of sleaze.

No what we have here is an exercise in uber-allegiance in which objectivity takes a back seat.

Labour's spending spree isn't strategic, it's reckless. Their policies are driven by ideology, not common sense.

Reducing the asylum backlog is a basic government duty, not a success. Labour's infighting and lack of direction are clear.

Labour in Wales and Labour in Westminster are one and the same party, with the same leadership and policies. The failures in Wales, like the 20mph debacle and NHS collapse, are a direct reflection of their broader approach to governance.

As for Labour's election win it doesn't mean Labour's policies are sound. The electorate who voted against the Conservatives are now experiencing the dire consequences of Labour's failures and are now realise with deep regret their mistake at the ballot box!

This isn't about blind allegiance to the previous government; it's about holding the current one accountable for their actions.

Labour's track record speaks for itself – they're not delivering on their promises, and it's time they took responsibility for their mistakes.

No, what we have here is classic blind allegiance. The absurdity of the notion that there is no plan beggars belief. They are not making it up on the hoof. If you actually examined what the Chancellor has consistently said, it would be obvious that they are not making it up on the hoof.

The problem with politicians lying is that the majority of them do it no matter what party they are in.

Also when asked a question, most of them don't answer directly.

Sadly I don't know the best way to rectify this problem.

I agree.

How often do you hear the mp digress to a question or say. "I'm not going to go into that"

I don't want it but in the past the only thing that had shook up government , albeit temporarily, is war. God forbid.

Oh I thought you weren't going to speak any more. So can't keep a promise, much like the tories and reform then I guess.

Where to start on your latest wordy rant.

On Labour not having a financial plan, you clearly missed the budget.

Failures on immigration. Im pretty sure they have already sent more back than the previous government.

They have the beginnings of a deal with France and have just made a deal with Germany where they find the manufacturers of the boats and engines of the (dingies) and cut them off at source, remember the idea to smash the gangs, thats the rational behind it.

How much did the last government do on communicating with our European friends?

The Welsh Labour government and therefore its NHS are part funded by Westminster, which has been tory led for 14 years, they do the same to local labour authorities, underfund them because they want power back.

As for Labour mps only wanting to advance their careers, the reason most of the new government policies have either failed or had to be adapted is because their own mps are being answerable to their own constituents. So actually quite the opposite really, if you think about it, which you won't.

Obviously.

Claims that Labour isn't ideologically driven are utterly unfounded and demonstrate a clear disregard for evidence.

Labour's policies, such as the £28 billion green investment pledge, demonstrate a clear set of priorities and values that are rooted in their ideological perspective. Independent commentators have indeed noted the ideological underpinnings of Labour's policies, and it's dishonest to suggest otherwise.

The notion that being in the 'middle ground' means Labour isn't driven by ideology is a misleading attempt to downplay their clear policy direction.

As PM, Starmer directly influences national policies impacting Wales, and Rachel Reeves, as Chancellor, controls budgets and fiscal policy whilst the Senedd has its own limited powers.

Labour's approach may appear planned, but concerns about lack of fiscal analysis and potential risks warrant serious scrutiny, not blind dismissal. The Chancellor's statements suggest a clear direction, but practical implications remain debatable, and it's the duty of serious commentators to interrogate these claims.

Blind allegiance to a party line isn't about critically evaluating policies; it's about dismissing valid concerns without evidence and ignoring potential flaws. Serious students of politics would examine the evidence and implications of Labour's policies, rather than simply denying their ideological basis or ignoring potential risks. Anything less is a failure of critical analysis!

I believe Mr Richey and Mr RespectDue, although it would appear they are aligned with the party on the ‘left’, have offered sensible and well thought out responses.

Mr Devanian whilst I appreciate you may be having issues with local government, there seems to be an element of bitterness and confrontation in your responses, which, whilst understandable seems counterproductive. A demand to have the union in a much better place after a year, whilst appearing to want to brush over what came immediately before, is quite a profound demand.

Very much like the OP, there seems to be an agenda in what you convey here, and whilst we all have allegiances to a certain degree, it may be better to avoid confrontation on political matters if you are not prepared to give a little and take a little, with a fair dose of listening and comprehending others opinions before expressing your own?

I, like many here have acknowledged that it has not been smooth sailing so far for the current government, however it never has been for any government as you can’t please all the people all the time. It is however, in my opinion, a smoother voyage than we have been accustomed to of late.
