Great article.

What hurts people is bills.... water, electricity, gas, broadband, council tax etc all going up well above inflation. What hurts people is not being able to get a GP appointment, or waiting a year for a hospital appointment. What hurts people is not feeling safe.

Starmer's problem is that unless voters notice and feel a positive difference, he will be in trouble, especially when so many core Labour supporters don't believe in him. He is lucky to have such a weak opposition, but there is a long time until the next election.

Well, the one group of people Starmer absolutely will not upset is anti-immigration, anti-EU Labour Leave voters.
