minus-square@essell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink11•1 month agoI hope this is down to them needing to have this ready weeks ago and not knowing when the election would be. As slogans go it’s about as inspiring as Starmer himself. Generic, non-commital and subject to change.
minus-square@essell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•1 month agoTrue, very different vibes! Tories have been nothing but changeable in recent years and that’s not been a good thing!
minus-square@FarceOfWill@infosec.publinkfedilink5•edit-21 month agoLabour are sort of arguing for a change to a stable government which is the most ambitious bit of political messaging I could possibly think of. Time will tell if sunak and the Tories are so hopeless it actually works
minus-squareTwigOPlinkEnglish3•1 month agoFair point well made. I guess we’ll see how this particular campaign is received.

minus-squareTwigOPlinkEnglish5•1 month agoWell said. While he’s not perfect, I’d imagine Starmer will be significantly different to the Tories.
minus-square@essell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•1 month agoThe fact that he won’t be distracted by right wing extremists in his own party is a good start. Within the labour party he is the right wing extremist. And I don’t think he’s likely to be too damaged by attacks on the left much either, certainly not until after the honeymoon period.
minus-square@fifisaac@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•1 month agoSo when Tories go back on promises it’s lying but when labour do it its reasonable pragmatism?
minus-square@fifisaac@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•1 month agoMaybe I misunderstood but that seemed to be what you were suggesting
minus-square@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•1 month agoLabour seems to be shifting further and further Right, not sure how much better they’ll be than the Tories. But for what it’s worth, I totally agree.
