I'm losing the will to live with this government. They laid the groundwork for raising income tax with that speech a few weeks ago only to do another U-turn. They really are making themselves look incompetent and without an economic plan. At the start of the year I had high hopes and enthusiasm for Starmer and his government but that's all but evaporated now. I wish we had proportional representation.

Maybe comparing the DPP to an American state prosecutor is not valid as the latter is a much more political role. Politics is littered with people that had run large organisations who believed their skills are transferable to political leadership and weren’t, especially business people. Don't quite know why.
Heard Gove warning opponents not to underestimate Starmer as he doesn't make mistakes twice. Having Mystic Mike Gove big you up is the kiss of death.
