Keir Starmer offers ‘change’, ‘change’ and even more ‘change’. But that’s not the same as governing


It is not just a change but the degree of change and with Starmer v Sunak the degree is not great. The two people will be different and so will the Parties in name, but the problems will still be the same. Perhaps some in a degree of control of the government, but many not within government control.

Even matters within the UK may in some respects not be within the control of government and those outside of the UK will not be, but all will be relevant to how matters progress.

Starmer and his to be cabinet are in  many respects to be unknown for being in opposition is so different to be at the face of everything.

But Sunak and his cabinet haven’t done us many if any favours. The finance may be better than it was, but it was in a very dire state so any improvement would have been welcome. Then many other problems still have to be sorted, but some could be on the way, but the way is still too long.

Maybe Starmer should be given a chance, but if he doesn’t come good we could have 4/5 years of more problems, assuming he lasts that long.

There are many problems still to solve and no certainty they will be. We will hope that other problems won’t surface because we couldn’t cope with anymore disasters or could we.
