I get what a lot of you guys are saying about Starmer and the Labour government not being as left wing as Corbyn. I would also like someone who would use this majority to implement some really hardcore leftist policies.
But please can we just take a step back and look at what he wants to do:
Massive amounts of NHS funding
Nationalised green energy
Tax private schools
Allow regulators to hit company executives with criminal charges
Nationalise the railways
Increase the minimum wage to a living wage
Free school meals
I don't know about you, but that seems at the very least, left of center. Sure, he's not making drastic sweeping changes right off the bat. But this country needs an era of stability, whilst we make small but consistent steps in the right direction, and that's what Starmer will give us
They'll increase policing and call it a day.
