Reporting on the Labour party is like playing a particularly disappointing game of pass the parcel.
Each month another piece of paper is removed. Yet rather than reveal a pack of sweets, or a toy, each unwrapping only reveals another crushing disappointment

The best/only chance for a decent govt from next GE is an alliance offering the policies Labour refuse to adopt: PR-Rejoin-FairTax-PublicNHS-ChallengeFascism-Indyref2-PressReform.
If anyone has a better idea I'd love to hear it.

Its becoming more and more diffuicult to vote for Labour with him in charge but he is our only hope at the moment of destroying the Conservatives. Not good when this is the only choice but it is where we are at. Another 5 years of the Tories would be the end for a lot of people,

Starmer is still worried about losing the next GE because of disaffected Tory voters losing their nerve at the last moment. There does seen to be a lot of closet racists, anti EU, anti refugee, or basically anti anything that isn't in their knowledge base!

If you have unrealistic expectations you are bound to be disappointed. Starmer's Labour have to tackle a political, economic & environmental reality, i.e. a disastrous legacy left by a negligent & corrupt Tory government. Promises they know they can't keep would be gifts to future Tory leaders.

As someone who voted for him based on what he ran on (left wing policies and moving away from factional BS), and who used to be super involved in Labour, it's even worse. I guess quitting the party was partly me accepting that the "present" was only ever going to turn out to be a massive turd.

Peer Gynt's onion ... after 8, 9, 14 years of Tory misrule, skewed "Austerity" then fraudulent & increasingly crippling Brexit: Starmer & team "progressively" retreat from all avenues to long overdue solutions.

Is it because they need to be as honest as Macron but can't in announcing the end of abondance ? "we can make things better but don't raise your hopes too high" isn't going to win any votes.

He embraced Brexit, a project built on lies, electoral crime, and Russian money. Nobody can touch a project like that and not become a low grade charlatan.

The only plausible explanation is that Starmer has decided to let the Tories implode autonomously and not give them anything concrete to attack him on. It'll work, because the Tories do such a cracking job at that, but the problem is that we have no clue what we get in its place and can only hope.

It's amazing that when your key point is, "Starmer is watering down a commitment to shore up workers' rights" that you will still get people in your mentions trying to claim it's a budget problem. It's entirely ideological, not some forced error that they don't really mean.
