If you voted Labour in July, have you changed your mind?

[notgettinganyyounger]

Are you happy with the changes so far, and still backing Starmer?

I think it's too soon to tell

They need another few months at least

Too soon, give them a bloody chance!

Happy so far then? Maybe we could discuss after the budget....

Happy

Change after 14 years of dreadful management is going to take several years before you see any meaningful change. But yes, very happy so far.

I’m very happy - no regrets here at all. They have a lot to unpick

Happy so far. Much better than the last lot.

I didn't vote for them. Tbh, it's difficult now because each party is as bad as the other in various ways. Its like trying to pick a decent apple to eat from a bowl full of rotten ones. We're doomed whichever way we go. The pay per Mile is concerning if that goes ahead. Will pretty much finish my DH small company 😒

Where have all the doom mongers gone? Back to ToryHQ every one …

Voted for them tactically. Was still the right decision even if I don’t agree with all the decisions made so far.

I still think we need to see what exactly is in the budget to make that judgement..the media has been hyper focusing on the fuel allowance being removed from pensioners, many of which won't miss it. That 'heating or eating' phrase is overused to stir up debate imho. All political parties have to 'balance the books'. Starmer was careful not to promise much, but we needed a change so it's still early days 😕

No, because we needed a change from the Tories even if the result is more of a compromise than New Labour way back in 1997.

However, bleating about us needing austerity because the previous administration got the finances wrong is really peculiar. It’s what the Conservatives did when they took over from Gordon Brown. Starmer needs a better way to stand out and be different. It’s also no more believable than it was in 2010.

Labour should be the party of looking after the tax payer not the bringer of more worries.

Is there a new law that we need to have one of these threads every day?

It takes years for any new government to make effective changes. It's far too soon to tell.

Im happy. They are getting on with real changes without a song and dance

I want to see the budget before I make a call.
Even then I think we have to give them at least a year

I didn't vote for Labour. I suspect there will be a lot of unhappy pensioners who only get state pension and have no private pension now no heating credit. They have to manage on £11.5k a year.

They are not representing women or older people. It’s a no from me.

@nojudge I did have a quick search for a thread like this over the past week. Didn't see one, so I do apologise. Obv you don't have to waste your time posting on it, but seems you have anyway!

Happy.

What changes are you referring to?

Mileage, pensions, prisoners early release...

I'm upset about the fuel allowance, not because I'm anywhere near getting it ( and probably never will ) but because it seems every other person can be ' entitled ' to things , yet they have bashed the pensioners. It feels personal.
The MPs can claim for second homes too
Maybe they should cut a few of their perks too

No, I haven’t changed my mind.

Pay per mile will finish off a lot of people who have to travel for work. Would there be allowances for this ?
