Personally I support every policy and strategy he’s outlined in the above article. Child poverty rates in the UK, especially in England where it’s over 30%, are terrible.
It’s about time a UK Government understands that neglecting children is no way to run a successful country- and this one seems to.

SureStart and programs like this it were/are fantastic, and exactly the sort of thing that I think a government should be doing. There will doubtless be issues with implementation and the shortage of nursey places in some areas is a real concern but fundamentally supporting children from as young an age as possible is a no-brainer
I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets drowned out by the constant shitshow of the news cycle though

This is one of Labours best most impactful policies, yet 90% of people have no idea about it.

I’m not even sure why he mentioned Reform here. This should be a straightforward announcement of a program pretty much anyone finds agreeable and positive. It reads as defensive to me.

Proof is in the pudding. He’ll be fine if people feel a positive difference within the next four years. He’s fucked if we don’t.

The established parties might be stale and underperforming but Reform will bring the country to its knees, they are completely clueless.

Finally, a sign of life. Labour has to change the narrative. Stop following the populist twats and be a positive force for change. Starmer’s realising this way too late I fear though.

Sir Keir today – „While Reform and the Tories talk down the country at every turn…“
Wes Streeting – the NHS is broken
Secretary of State for Justice, Shabana Mahmood – the Prison Service is broken
Starmer – Too many in Whitehall being “comfortable in the tepid bath of managed decline”, or The NHS and the prison system are among parts of the state which are visibly broken, he warned. or The Transport system in the North is broken.
No keir your destroying the country food prices and anything else are sky high illegal immigration is out of control and your attacking oaps and the disabled

Giving our kids a brighter future by continuing austerity, keeping the 2 child cap on benefits and increasing university tuition fees.
Thank you Sir Keir.

Unless they’re disabled kids, in which case Labour will take away millions in support. Starmer is selling out disabled people.

I don’t know what this mutant right-wing version of Labour is but he could try fixing this country and not making it worse, which he’s currently done fuck all to achieve. Been too busy pissing about making the lives of the poor and vulnerable more miserable and removing our rights via his stupid online ID verification bill.

Some promising action from the government here, but does anyone find it deeply disturbing how much of Labour’s communication is centred around Reform? The way a party with all of 5 MPs has become so influential in such a short time is a concern.

„Were going to keep construction defacto banned to make sure your rent stays high and you’ll never own a home.“
„We’re going to keep the benefits and pensions systems out of control driving the country into a long term financial crisis which will destroy almost all public services and mean you cant retire“
„We going to fiddle faddle the tax system while major reforms are left undone. We’re going to flub almost any significant change“
„And if your kids do get to university they can pay through the nose for it and go on to a job barely above minimum wage whole costs spiral as they anxiously decide wether they can afford to heat and eat because we are incapable of deep reform.“
„But we’re going to give your child a free sandwich at lunch, which they only need because the cost of living crisis is completely out of control and we have no ideas on how to actually fix it, and for that, for our amazing governance, you may applaud now!“

When keir? What is the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) for this „brighter future“ for kids?
Incredible this man can tell what the future will bring, why is he merely Prime Minister and not Prophet for the World?
Nah. Can we please put this Puppet away and get some leadership for the first time in my life? Am 38 years old.

Brighter future by banning them from any adult conversations online, any support group, keeping the triple lock, offering no positive youth policies.
Just more spin.
People want the truth. People are sick and tired of hearing this nonsense. The PR, party line. The question dodges. The suits.
Just be real fucking people.

Breakfast clubs coming back, capping the number of ridiculous branded school uniform items parents have to buy, 30 hrs free childcare, and 88 million quid towards arts and music education. Fantastic. Having bought up a kid during the period where the Tories cut support to all of these things, I know how valuable they are, and the devastating impact of having lost them. But as everyone is saying, it will probably be lost on the average reform voter, who just want to blame their shitty life on… People who are different to them.

I hate reform but I also don’t like Starmer; as a youngish left winger he seems more right wing than a Tory. He’s taken away freedom of speech and has no backbone as someone who worked as a human rights lawyer yet is happy to support genocide. Doesn’t sit well with me.
