After 14 years in opposition, the Labour Party now has the chance to put their policies into practice and change the country. So what changes has Starmer already made? And what does this tell us about how he will continue to govern as Prime Minister?

Having something like a “What has the government done this week (or month)” as a reoccurring format would be pretty nice I think.

"Putting experienced people into government from outside the world of politics" - so basically people who are actually qualified, then? Weird.

This all sounds really boring and sensible.

Who'd think of putting somebody in charge of things they have an expert level of experience with instead of some powermad politician.

It’s obvious why Starmer chose Richard Hermer. He’s a leading barrister and so is up to date on current law, where as Emily Thornberry hasn’t practiced law for almost 20 years.

"...similarly shocking was his decision to appoint experts to junior roles in the government." This is where the Tories have left us. This should just be how governments operate. So glad we have professionals finally in charge

Putting experienced people in junior roles really helps on the base level, so as to move them up as they make direct change on the floor level

in short "They said they'll do this in their manifesto, and they're actually doing what they said they would"

My major concern is that Labour have very much locked themselves into this course of action. They've consistently promised no tax rises and no spending cuts, and reaffirmed that promise after the election. So the only way for them to raise funding is to stimulate economic growth.

Wow, Starmer appoints people to positions who are actually qualified to run those positions? It's incredible that this is an unusual thing.

@Morphed626 21 күн бұрын

I’ve read that he chose Hermer over thornberry because of his experience tackling tricky issues that plugs the gaps in Starmers vast legal knowledge in a way that thornberrys couldn’t

WHAT??? Has Starmer gone mad? He is exactly that type of politician who would put a gardener in charge of the gardens, a carpenter in charge of furniture repairs, or an electrician in charge of the electrical installations! Does he not think of any completely incompetent guys whose only advantage is that they know someone who will not get these highly paid jobs now? S-H-O-C-K-I-N-G.

Feels weird to have a Labour government again. I’m old enough to (vaguely being a kid) remember Labour being in power. But a change of pace and feeling optimistic again is good.

I’m glad to see the government investing with the hope of a real return rather than just selling off public assets for essentially nothing

the Rwanda thing is funny because now the spokesperson for the Rwanda government came out and said since the UK government broke the agreement they won't be refunding anything and those houses that had been built would go to Rwanda's citizens 😂😂😂

You should definitely start a series where you update on what the government has done each month. Would be so useful to keep up with what they're doing
