I have been rather harsh regarding Labours achievements so far. This is not surprising given how Starmer has moved to the right to try and stave off Reform, and the Tory Press concentrating on every mistake. If only they had done the same when the last government were screwing everything up! An instance of this is the condemnation of the government for hiring a German warship for a NATO exercise – warships take years to build so why are they not blaming Johnson, Cameron, Truss and Sunak? NHS waiting tomes have fallen – but for someone in pain 6 months is still too long! Potholes in the roads are still a problem. The welfare budget is a common gripe for people who wark full time and still find it hard to make ends meet, whilst they perceive others to get free rent and handouts. People blame others who are poorer than themselves as they are an easy target rather than the hidden world of opulance and privilege. It is the cost of accomodation that is the problem.
Meanwhile apparently Vape disposal is a problem – easy answer, charge extra and refund when handed in – shops can always do with extra income, and I am sure someone would soon come up with a machine to do it! National Savings debacle has presumably not happened overnight (indeed some people have been waiting up to 6 years for a payout on a berevment) – but the press make it seem like the governmens fault.y
