It's still best 2 years away from the election.
NO opposition party issues detailed policies that far from an election.
I know and wouldn't support a Party that didn't believe in the NHS and would make sure it was invested in and protected.
As to his credit even Blair did from 1997.
There's no way Labour will not protect the NHS.
However, I know Labour under any leader, would never let remain policies like what the coalition brought in which were even degrading and cruel to the sick and disabled.
I know that from the endless cases there has been of wrongful removal of support to them.
People can moan at Labour and think there's another way but they're fooling themselves.
Anyone who dislikes this Con government, who then in this pathetic voting system we have, don't support Labour then the continuation of an extreme Con government is what they'll get.
So for me the protection of the NHS, and the ending of the humiliating treatment of the sick and disabled is what turned me to Labour in 2012 and has me still supporting Labour in those aims still.
I dislike Starmer and didn't vote for him as leader.
However, when his policies are all finalised ready for the general election.
That protection of the NHS and more compassion to the sick and disabled will still have me strongly for Labour.
Because also in this dinosaur of an electoral system, the ONE and ONLY way to ensure this shambles of a Con govt is out, is to vote Labour.
Any votes to anyone else will only help enable the Cons to continue their vindictiveness and heartlessness.
That's not for me, no way thank you.

Rachel Reeves has said on more than one occasion that she plans to be tougher on welfare than the tories, which means those sick and disabled folks won't be getting the help you think they will. In fact, the only thing Starmer hasn't changed his mind on policy-wise is lower business taxes.
The tories believe in the NHS, too, doesn't mean they'll do anything to help it, and Streeting has been pushing for more private sector involvement.
If you vote labour to get tories out, I fully support that, but if you vote for them thinking they have any interest in anything but being in power themselves, then I'm afraid you're setting yourself up for a fall.
