Its a bribe to get votes.
What will the Labour Party bring to the table that is going to be any differen
Well a change is healthy, going to be interesting to see if the Labour party can get the country back on track because it is heading the wrong way at the moment.Obviously no one knows for sure but what we do know is this lot have had 14 years in power and the country is ****** it's time for change.
I actually feel that Sunak is our most competent Conservative PM in years, but he’s been handed a turd (austerity + Brexit, topped off with war in Eastern Europe is not a recipe for growth), but also the Conservative party is so at war with itself he's not going to be able to make the big policy changes to fix anything.
I'm hopeful that a Labour landslide would allow for the major changes to happen to start getting things moving again, and a time out of government might help the Conservative party get itself back together again.
He'd be a decent Chief Secretary to the Treasury, but he's no leader. And he's truly terrible at politics - or anything that needs human interaction. Partly it's not his fault, he just doesn't come from a background that allows him to have any empathy with the ordinary voter.I actually feel that Sunak is our most competent Conservative PM in years, but he’s been handed a turd (austerity + Brexit, topped off with war in Eastern Europe is not a recipe for growth), but also the Conservative party is so at war with itself he's not going to be able to make the big policy changes to fix anything.

His stance on Israel is worryingWhat do people think about Starmer in comparison?
Personally I don't really care whether someone is a good politician. There are far too many professional politicians that have had zero exposure to anything outside of Westminster. I just want someone that is competent.
It's another reason why I'm quite hopeful for Labour. Starmer might be boring, but he got to the top of his profession before switching to politics and has displayed a ruthless streak to get the party in a position to win power.
Agreed. Circus clowns have no place in politicsnow if he had gone straight for the juggler...

The trouble is that Sunak's so useless at the politics side that it affects his ability to be "competent" in delivering policy. I'm not sure whether he is just really stupid on this stuff and has this simplistic idea of you put a policy into the algorithm and out pops popularity, or he has enough self-knowledge to know that he should leave the politics to someone else, but unfortunately those advisors are the ones that are really dumb. I assume the latter but I do wonder sometimes, things like the cancellation of HS2 without reference to Parliament do suggest presidential tendencies.Personally I don't really care whether someone is a good politician.

Completely agree - one of the few bright spots on the horizon at the moment is that the likely PM has been successful before coming into politics, and got to the top in a profession full of smart, competent people which suggests he is one too. Yes, it would be really nice if he didn't come across as so ... plodding, for want of a better word, but I guess you can't have it all. I'd rather have a quietly effective Roy Keane than a showpony like David Beckham who often doesn't rise to the occasion. I can imagine that he's used to being underestimated and used that to his advantage as a prosecutor, I wouldn't like to face him in the dock.It's another reason why I'm quite hopeful for Labour.
