If, as PM you don’t build a direct relationship with the public and tell them about the journey we’re being taken on you are open to lack of trust and resulting lack of confidence

Why does the BBC have to blow so much wind into the sails of these right wing and racist stories?
Surely there are more pressing issues such as cost of living and climate emergency!

Starmer needs to communicate his vision and route map with the public now through regular TV slots taking each area of the economy in turn giving the context for his actions and start treating us like adults who can handle facts

Starmers time is coming to an end as by appointing Mandelson he has shown his enemies and many of the public his politics are no different to Johnson et al. Reform will go big on this and the need for radical change. Starmer has been naive in being so timid in his administration

Mandleson exposes the totally out dated processes our democracy holds dear in favouring the privileged classes and their honours.

As supposedly a modern democracy we seem inept at putting in place rules to remove peerages for suspect behaviour or have them relinquished when a minister who received one to join the cabinet leaves office. Pathetic!
