All starmers promises are just that and all will change this time next week.
Labour pledges discipline on tax and spending as it reveals possible manifesto policies
abour has put “stable public finances and prudent spending” at the heart of its offer for the 2024 manifesto, pledging iron discipline on how new policies are funded.
The party’s new national policy forum document suggests there may be no additional money for sweeping childcare reforms and that there could be a delay to returning to the 0.7% aid target.
Its major areas of spending appear to be £28bn a year for the green economy by the second half of the parliament, as well as more police officers, NHS workers and teachers.
There will be £365m of new free breakfast clubs for schoolchildren, which was originally to be funded from reinstating the 45p rate of tax before Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves cooled on that idea. Instead, it will be paid for as part of an estimated £3bn raised by ending the non-dom system that allows some wealthy people to avoid taxes in the UK.
The policy document promises other sweeping reforms to childcare to make it more flexible and available and to raise standards, but says this would be delivered by “drawing on best practice internationally and working with the additional expenditure for childcare to which the government has already committed”.

The only good thing he's doing right is keeping Big Gob Rayner as low profile as possible, every time she opens her gob they lose voters. |

https:// yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2023/09/14/voting-intention-con-24-lab-46-7-8-sep-2023 Polling nearly twice the Tories so if what he's doing is so bad it just shows the Tories are twice as worse YouGov .... rigged
In June 2022, former employee Chris Curtis, who at this time worked for competitor Opinium, said that during the 2017 United Kingdom general election, a YouGov poll was suppressed by the company because it was "too positive about Labour", under pressure from the Conservative co-founder of YouGov Nadhim Zahawi. YouGov denied that the poll was spiked for political reasons, instead arguing that the poll was based on a "skewed sample". Former YouGov president Peter Kellner confirmed last-minute small methodology changes which transferred 2% from Labour to Conservative and increased the predicted Conservative lead from 3% to 7%. A day later, Curtis withdrew his allegations, saying that he now accepted "YouGov's position that in fact the results were pulled because of concerns other members of the team had about the methodology", and that he had not intended to allege that Nadhim Zahawi had had any bearing on the decision, and apologised for any confusion caused by his previous statements
LOL....

just read your own post again Take a look at who runs it you plant plot.
YouGov plc is a British international Internet-based market research and data analytics firm headquartered in the UK with operations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. In 2007, it acquired the US company Polimetrix, and since December 2017, it has owned Galaxy Research, an Australian market research company.
LOL.. 'British international' wtf does that mean, who are they asking in these 'British' polls?

EXACTLY THE SAME with Rishi Sunaks promises and pledges - except for one big difference
Starmer is in no position to honour any pledges because he is not Prime Minister
Sunak is in power, he is the Prime Minister, and he is on track to not meet any of his 5 pledges
Thats the difference
