What’s expected to happen if Labour wins the next election?

[User5512]

What changes do we “normal people” expect to see? Better nhs? More taxes?

Oh, and they’ll spend the first five years, if things don’t go to plan,, blaming Margaret Thatcher 🙄

By day 2 the RW press will be blaming them for all the problems caused by this government.

Gullible public will buy it because the DM says so.

They won't get a chance to make change and we'll be back with a Tory government in 5 years.

Not what I want to happen but history tells us ...

Scaremongering. Self ID is unlikely to be a priority for the incoming government if Labour win the next election.

Totally agree with you.

Quite. It’s just an excuse for Tory apologists.

All the political satirists will be weeping into their beers - to them the post-Cameron Tory era has been gift that keeps on giving

I doubt it. The Thick of It came out during the Blair years.

All western democracy is on a terminal decline. This can't be stopped. It makes no difference who is at the helm. Look after yourself and your loved ones. It's all any of us can do.

The country will fall heavily into debt.

That ship’s sailed. The country’s already up to its ears in debt. Tory debt.

Blaming anyone yep

Time to bring this out again.

a slighty less terrible version of what we already have

Isn't Wales Labour run? The clues are there

It’ll be like the Blair/Brown years.

They’ll do sweet FA but will lie and spin about it. They will politically defraud us. They will fall into corrupt deals and funding scandals. They will waste hundreds of billions on public spending for their client voters.

The one difference is that Blair inherited a good economy from Ken Clarke and so could spend money until it all went wrong. Starmer won’t have any money and will have to tell even more fibs than Blair did.

I still expect Labour to get two or three terms.

Back to the future!

Meanwhile Sunak spends every PMQs bleating about "the Party opposite" and doing the equivalent of Squealer in "Animal Farm".

It’ll be like the Blair/Brown years.

We can only hope. Particularly those who are sitting on record high NHS waiting lists.

They will keep pushing through self ID
will want more immigration not less.
they will increase taxes and NI to increase public spending

other than that who knows because when Starmer is asked you just get word salad .

He has aspirations but no method .

I was so happy when New Labour came in. I saw all these changes and at first, it seemed everything was going to plan and we could see the policies working.

Then Gordon sold the gold, then he became PM, we had a financial disaster and it all went downhill quickly.

I am hoping they will sort things as quickly as possible, but it won't happen overnight.

They'll definitely make things better for the people who need it. I just hope that part happens as soon as possible.

You've saved me typing it. Agree fully with this post.

Likely more A n E closures, that is what they did here last time around and laughed about it. I don't hold out much hope they will do good things.

Yes but Wales is Labour led and their waiting lists are higher than England . Plus apparently a lot of their councils could be going bust .sp

So true

I'm embarrassed for you. A) This is a joke that has been running for years that no one else felt obliged to share with the public and B) there is less money left than last time unless you are in the in crowd. Which I bet you aren't!

I have fairly low expectations.

Less culture wars stuff. Booting out the most egregious brexity right wingers. A lot of tories losing their seats and leaving politics forever. A responsible line on environment (less sewage dumping, commiting to net zero). Moving towards closer relationship with eu. Reducing the toxicity of immigration debate. More house building.

Those are fairly modest things but every single thing the tories have done has made me cringe or worse and it's been 13 years so I can't help but look forward to the change.

And who decrees how much money Wales gets? Give you a clue - their leader lives in Downing Street.
