LABOUR

I am begining to wonder! Starmers acceptance of gifts is contrary to good governance and ending the sleaze of the last 14 years. It is minor in the general flow of hings but on policy we have seen little movement. No plans for legal routes of entry for asylum seekers, nor changes to the law to enable them to work. The water industry seems to be untroubled by its mismanagement. The BBC continues to slip from previous lows in reporting to new depths. Press reform is unmentioned. The penshion winter payment has been bulldozed through without apparently listening to criticisms or ideas for amendment. No announcement of plans to halt the 33billion spent on consultancies either. House building plans have not developed a focus for discussion. I had many hopes and will give them until Christmas before starting a tirade of criticism if warranted – expectations are high, but after a bright start things have drifted!
