Same, Starmer like every labor leader talks big in opposition and runs straight to the centre when elected ( or the week before). He is happy to dump those he spoke up for and was photographed beside in opposition the minute he doesn't need them.

So the political party that couldn't organise the NBN, stuffed up organising vacinees during a pandemic and never built those car parks wants us to trust them with building nuclear reactors. I'm sure it'll be fine.
