  • “It’s black and white. It’s very serious. Its sleeves rolled up. It’s no suit jacket.”
    Starmer’s “incredibly slick” pre-election speech was designed to “appeal to as many people as possible". "They still think they need to do quite a lot to win”, says Kate McCann.

    In the UK, lots of businesses are closed, lots of bars and restaurants, lots of shopping centers instead of investing and rebuilding businesses, they imposed more taxes and higher interest rates so i.e. the richest are getting richer on the wallets of the poor.

    Housing? This is arguably one of the most important issues considering it is the single highest outlay most people have via rent or mortgage costs, also social housing that is desperately needed.

      They have spoken about housing plenty, just most of the media don't bother to cover it. The speech is covering the "first steps", aka what parts should be achievable sooner than the rest, and which are important for voters.
      The housing policy will take time to ramp up, but they promise 1.5million homes in 5 years, much of which will be social housing.

    In Christian tradition, the seven heavenly virtues combine the four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude with the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity.
    The seven capital virtues, also known as contrary or remedial virtues, are those opposite the seven deadly sins. They are often enumerated as chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.
