Labour’s updated set of targets within the 5 general aims had a bit of energy about them, underwritten by that sense of government is here to achieve these things. And as Keir Starmer said at the outset of his speech , just what have the Tories got to point at for their 13 years? Labour is to bring them to account for their misuse of money during their years in power.

News and political views 
Interesting. Will the council be held to account for the money wasted whilst in power? RHE for example? Did anyone ever say sorry?
Keeping our streets and target sex offenders. You may have missed the fact that thousands of young white girls were, and probably still are, sexually abused. Strange though, the authorities seem reluctant to take action. I wonder why?
Clean energy superpower. I read that it is going to cost billions to hook up sources of green energy to the grid, with buried transmission cables. Has Starmer had this promise costed? I think this can only be done by adding a levy to all forms of power we use. Be honest and realistic about how theLabour government will fund this work.
The trouble with politicians of all parties is that they think in the short term. Initiatives have to be done so that the party in power gets the kudos. What good is a popular project that will come to fruition when your opponents are in power? Perhaps in a way this is what has happened to HS2. I don’t know what the answer is.Sent from my Galaxy
