Labour has changed, so they no longer want change, they want stability.
Stability will be achieved by:
* Tough spending rules to avoid inflation.
* No tax rises on working people
* Cutting NHS waiting times
* Border security cops
* New National Energy Company
* Half a new teacher for each school.
Starmer says "Stability" really a lot.
He wants to create economic growth, as number 1 priority. How?
* Reform employment law, more employment rights and higher wages
* Reform investment systems, national wealth fund to invest in steel and jobs.
* Reform planning rules, so we can build more.
* Being Pro Business
* Tax oil & gas to pay for new British Energy company.
* Chase tax-avoiders to pay doctors & nurses
---
What we have here is basically a promise to be like the Conservatives only less chaotic and broken and a bit more caring.
No radical ambition, no blue-sky suggestions, no desire to reform the country other than replacing the people at the top with less corrupt people.
Primarily, they want growth by fiddling with regulations to encourage the private sector.
They will not do extra taxes on people, they will not do big spending, they want stability not change. They've already changed.
Which is exactly what the last 3 prime tory prime ministers said they wanted too.
It isn't that a national wealth fund investing in a national energy company is a bad idea, it's just that it's unambitious and on such a tiny scale it can't really affect anything.
