Mandelson

[Borin' Baggie]

So it's basically the same. And this is because the underlying issue has not been fixed - primary care cuts haven't been reversed and there's still a huge GP shortage as surgeries do not have the funds to hire GPs. This government have identified the issue, they've said they're looking into it but they're not making any progress to fixing this. This is a recurring issue in so many areas and then this crap has happened with Mandelson which has undermined trust. The people most fond of Starmer right now are middle aged Lib Dem voters in the south of England and they're not voting Labour.

That is the problem with this government, convention isn't working due to how broken the country is systematically and the pressures needed to fix what is broken and there has been a loss of trust that Starmer is capable of being the one to lead. In the meantime, the clock is ticking as it's looking exceedingly unlikely there will be another 5 years after 2029 to fix things which Labour are desperate for and lurking in the loom is the pro-Russian populist bullshitter and the pitfalls of FPTP ready to ruin it. We are in desperate need of a Campbell-Bannerman-type to aggressively undermine rent-seeking.
