@ This ain’t the Blair government , Blair was the right government for the time , not my choice but ok. 2024 is different and we need different.

Perhaps many of these questions can be answered by our Electorate. There were over 7 million past Conservative voters who failed to support their party in Julys General Election as there were 1.3 million past Labour voters who also failed to support their party. My opinion is that winning the 2024 election was looked like no party really wanted to win, because of the enormous challenges there were to clear up such a mess that our country was in. So how could any party prepare for such a challenge?

Honestly, the ideas around breaking down ‘silos’ are ancient - why didn’t this bloke make any impact on it whilst HE had the reins! And, the idea of a stable & skilled civil service existing to be the machinery - even though governments change - where did THAT go on his watch?
Almost asif Labour have gone through many different iterations and inherited completely different sets of fiscal, geopolitical and legal frameworks from which to govern than even 4 years ago.
What lies are you referring to? This is the bit where you mention the manifesto commitments without naming them All because you haven't seen, nevermind read the Labour manifesto, but nevertheless hope your lies gain traction. All the Tories do is lie, cheat, steal and be all-round corrupt in everything they say and do.
With all due respect they had 14 years to prepare.... This is like a scenario of Oh wow I would love to drive that car its amazing!...saving for 14 years and finally getting that car then thinking...shit..I dont have a driving licence
Having been a civil servant this comment shows a lack of awareness of the challenge any new government faces. When you are outside government you cannot understand the complexity of government and do not know the approach taken by the government you are taking over from. Culture change is hard at the best of times.
Look at the quality of the Labour front bench! A Chancellor who hasn't been honest about her experience, a transport secretary who committed fraud, Lammy, Rayna ...
Labour were certainly unprepared and have made a bad start but surely the civil service was aware of it’s own deterioration and could have flagged that at any time over the last 14 years. It’s a cop out to blame it all on a new government .
I agree with most stuff this guy said. For anyone on the outside looking in to government dont assume everyone is incompetent and doesnt know what they are doing or are lazy. Yes like with every job in the world you have bad apples but inside that you have a large number of passionate people wanting to serve the public. If you have never been one of them please hesitate in your daming opinion and be part of the solution, not just a mouthpiece of division.
Almost asif Labour have gone through many different iterations and inherited completely different sets of fiscal, geopolitical and legal frameworks from which to govern than even 4 years ago.
No mention of accountability, there will be no improved productivity until there is a focus on outcomes. No outcomes, no money and there is no comprehension of this idea across the whole public sector.
If you're not prepared for government, that's your fault. The point of the permanent civil service is to aid in the transition between governments. So if the civil service and the government aren't fit for purpose, maybe that says more about them than it does the system. And let's be honest, no "transition period" would have helped this dangerous, wilfully destructive government. It is doing exactly what it always intended to.
You mean the Tories were? No matter what Labour are governing so many times better than the Tories were distinguishing themselves by incompetence, corruption, lies, the betrayal of the UK's vital interests in every arena. I now suffer Long Covid as a direct result of the Tory Government with one million UK citizens with friends of mine dying other friends almost dying to fight back into work over years. Up to 500,000 people died, perhaps more & are still dying from this. Our economy our trade our standing our reputation in the world is destroyed by the Tories & you dare to argue Labour are not prepared for Government. A thousand times better prepared than the Tories ever were or will be.
That’s because we have a natural party of government in this country and the rest. Truss, Johnson, May, imagine if they’d led Labour governments? It’d left them out of power for a generation!
By an uncooperative Tory government. Exhibit A: undisclosed Finances. But a fair point. But what more damage could the Tories have done in a scorched earth strategy with a 'transition period'? Maybe better just to hand over and have done with it?
What lies? You're thinking of Boris Johnson, sacked twice and forced out once from jobs in a colourful career. Con-swervatives, straight as a corkscrew.
14 years training, with experienced former ministers, not sufficient, whereas you're arguing for a period of transition like America and Biden's end of term decisions??? 14 years of opposition surely gave sometime for preparedness, rather than negativity with no positive ideas. Why now suggest a period of transition, because Labour have become so unpopular, breaking promises with no planning?
Did you not listen to what the guy actually said? There is not a lot of materials on how to effectively work within and cross departments, but hey, keep being disingenuous
The comedy satire "Yes, Prime Minister" seems more and more like a documentary nowadays. I'd rather have Jim Hacker as Prime Minister than Two Tier Keir.
I agree with Humphrey on this Starmer is too conservative for the Eu, The Uk must find a more pro Eu progressive leader if they want to ever apply for membership.
I will believe that the English population wish to join the European Union again when they reply to a pole that asks, "Do you want to join the E.U. if it means accepting the Euro and giving back Gibraltar. " And the majority answer "YES" I won't live to see it, and neither will you. That's guaranteed.
