Plenty of labour voters will agree with Starmer. Plus most disillusioned conservatives.
Lol....have you a rough idea what Labour is meant to stand for ?

That's my issue. They should be making a positive case to remove both the two child limit and the overall benefit cap. There should also be regular, no longer then annual, revalorisation of Local Housing Allowance. The latter might need to be moderated with action to provide at least light touch rent regulation.

First and foremost being in a position to enact change.

It might not be every change you want, but that is because you hold an idealised rather than a pragmatic view of how politics functions.
Like feck I do....you think wanting basic things like bringing kids out of poverty isn't the very least Labour should be aiming for...I mean I know you keep coming back to the dreary there's no money 🙄 Were a rich country,this is the very least we should be aiming for.
Not one shadow cabinet member opposed Starmer's plan to keep the 2-child benefit cap...it's piss poor.

The unions gave us Ed Milliband followed by Jeremy Corbyn.

It is how we ended up with Starmer. Whilst Ed was sort of affable, getting away from more red flagged offerings was critical.

There's loads of stuff in there about child poverty. You are doing your headless chicken thing again.

What are these red flag offerings ? Just curious.
