    nationalising trains

    Sorry, but no, they haven’t. Some franchies expired and returned to state ownership, which was a Tory policy and several TOC’s reverted under them.

    sort of) nationalising steel

    No they haven’t.

    nationalising a part of our energy sector

    Again, no they haven’t, GB Energy whatever the fuck it actually is, is not nationalising energy.

    If they had actually done those things, then yes they might be in the win column.

    bringing the NHS back under direct public control

    Total vague nonsense, how’s outcomes doing? No real change?

    ending various tax-dodging loopholes, such as the IHT for farmers and non-dom taxes

    They chickened out on that and for me, it’s not nearly enough and exactly shows the problem with Keir Starmer and his boring pussy arsed government. IHT should be like 100% over a certain amount, there should be no generational wealth. He should be making that case and it would certainly set him apart from Farage and company.

    windfall tax on energy companies

    Probably the first one we can unambiguously say ‘ok’ on… Though of course, not really because the energy windfall tax was a Tory policy from 2022 and all they did was increase the rate from 35% to 38%.

    I really cannot be arsed to go through the rest, but suffice to say.

    Bullshit mate.
