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.
Great article.

And I should add....what hurts people is cuts to public services, cuts to welfare, and broken promises.
Only if you use the public services and welfare that are being cut, which most people don't.
Agree about welfare but surely everyone uses public services (e.g. public transport)?
And... healthcare, education, local government, police, military! You don't have to be poor to interact with the state.
Well, the one group of people Starmer absolutely will not upset is anti-immigration, anti-EU Labour Leave voters.
My advice is always the same: live in a Labour-Conservative marginal.
My seat was won by 15 votes going from Conservative to Labour!
I wish I didn't instantly know you live in Hendon.
I do!
