I 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.

It just describes what he plans on saying he’s doing if elected, it’ll Change every other day.

I’ll take a pragmatic responsive PM over the lurching idealogues of recent years

So when Tories go back on promises it’s lying but when labour do it its reasonable pragmatism?

Well said. While he’s not perfect, I’d imagine Starmer will be significantly different to the Tories.

Labour 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.

True, very different vibes!

Tories have been nothing but changeable in recent years and that’s not been a good thing!

Labour 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

Fair point well made. I guess we’ll see how this particular campaign is received.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
