That's a shame. They're ~~definitely~~ [edit: mostly] not actively making the country worse, which is already a huge win over Conservatives, but it's a shame they're not doing more to make it better.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I wouldn't call cutting the Department of Health's and Education's budget by a billion pounds each not making the country worse.
Unfortunately that's all anyone could really hope for from Starmer's Labour.
They are making the NHS worse, though. "Expansion of private contracts" is just privatisation with extra steps.
It’s strange to be simultaneously told AI will steal our jobs, then in the other ear that the success of the country relies on us spending 70% of days at work.
The word will is why its not a contradiction.
AI is not their yet. In fact correcting it is likely creating jobs.
It is unlikely to take all jobs. Much like robots. Its often cheaper and more flexible to hire humans.
But their is anprobabikity that over time it will reduce the amount of well paid jobs.
I hope it ends similarly to Biden denying stepping down.
