I lost count of the times in the election where I stated to potential voters, that the chaos left after 14 years of shambolic government was going to be horrendous.

It's odd how Labour after 8 weeks in power are criticised for pointing out the mess of the Cons over 14 years
The Cons for goodness sake were still going on about the mess they inherited in 2010, still on about it even this year.

I'm unhappy with the government, I and others will moan at conference and point out wrongs.
However there is a massive mess left from even just the last 5 years.
There are hard choices to make.
It seems Starmer will not make the better choices to deal with the mess.

I'll only judge the government though, on where we are at or heading in around 2 to 3 years time
As I did with the Coalition when it came in.

There's no fair comparison that can be made from 14 years of mismanagement after only 2 months barely in government.

I hear you Joey, but the Labour mantra was vote for change, reset, turn the page, if they are just going to moan about the Tories they may as well be the Tories in disguise, I actually dont know what is going on but it feels like they have decided alot of pensioners will be dead by the time the next election rolls round, I heard some clips today of Starmer and Reeves talking about being crystal clear about not taxing working people, but if they reverse the fuel duty that is exactly what they doing
