Starmer says he won’t quit

Whatever my equivalent of sploosh is. Which I guess is just sploosh. Only with semen.

The immigration wave caused by Brexit, which Farage orchestrated

I'm not so optimistic. The US had four years of Trump to "find out", yet still decided they wanted another four. I have no faith in the British electorate to learn any lessons, we're proving to be just as dumb by getting to this point.

The honest answer is we need more housing, preferably social I understand how difficult that is politically but a lot of young people are disenfranchised by the increasing cost of living and prospects of never owning a house I don't think any other party will do any better but if they want the youth vote they need to be putting more focus on it. They promised 1.5 million new houses and aren't even remotely on track for that

I think there are a couple of problems: 1. Some of these reforms are either too litle, too late or not promoted enough (besides the media problem, Starmer has the charisma of a rock) 2. People tend to remember the bad more than the good. Starmer is the public face of the continuing austerity. He is the one who tried to made more cuts to public wellfare (like scrapping a few campaign promises regarding the child benefit cap) 3. I am not even going to touch his policies regarding trans rights, web control or immigrants. I am just going mto point out that "We will throw minorities under the bus for political gain" isn't a really strong message 4. Matthew Doyle. Just Matthew Doyle

I mean I agree that labour have done a lot of good and that Keir is our best prime minister in the last 15 years, but at the same time, the bar is (almost literally) in hell after Truss and Johnson. Ultimately in politics what you say is in fact just as important as what you do, and I don't think that's even necessarily a bad thing, being an effective communicator is an important part of being a leader, which you have to be as a prime minister. When the whole electoral system relies on getting people to trust you to run their country, if you are dogshit at speaking you are fundamentally bad at a crucial aspect of your job. Yeah the media haven't been kind to him, but the media have not been kind to people like Bernie or Mamdani, or even like Polanski or Corbyn and all of those still have people who actually like them. I think it's quite a Listnook take to say it doesn't matter if you're likable as long as your policies are good (for the leader of a country). I've literally never heard anyone express that opinion in real life. It's genuinely really not that hard to be likeable, like the majority of people I meet manage it just fine - all you have to do is be genuine and show that you care about something. Which Starmer has consistently failed to do. Like I'm not saying he has to ooze charisma like Mamdani, but it really takes quite an extreme lack of personality to be the UK's most unpopular prime minister literally since we started tracking the popularity of prime ministers. Also, Keir really really doesn't help himself. In his own words, "If you don't like the changes, the door is open and you can leave". Well Starmer, most of us have f****** left.

Repealling it might win back some support though I think. Age Verification is just a segway to state survelliance and spying, people know this and responded with getting VPNs expecially in the wake of various data breaches like Discord. It was a Tory policy as well.
