Going back to the original "Six pledges" from Labour, I can understand why some traditional Labour voters are a bit dissapointed that they are a little "safe" and things like abolishing tuition fees and down grading the climate change actions look likely to be removed from the Labour manifesto despite Starmer pledging them in the past when he became leader.
I guess its all down to perspecive but I think a certain pragmatism from Labour that if they gain power they will be inheriting a whole series of fairly disasterous sitiuations from the NHS, adult social care, the cost of living and crisis in local government, alongside a very fractured international situation.
Its far better to under promise and over deliver, than over promise and under deliver, as maybe Sunak has found with the pledges he made earlier in his time in office. It doesn't make for greatly optimistic speaches and policies, but I think any politician suggesting the next 5 years will be anything other than a hard slog for everyone is not to be trusted.

Completely agree. As you have pointed out we're ever you look the country is a mess and this will not be sorted out in five years.
