Lest we forget what we have just lost ....

Good point Sarnia

Strange how these achievements rarely made it into MSM.

Keeping the UK out of Iran was the most intelligent decision of all. Everyone of us can applaud that.

Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:

- Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.

- Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.

- Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.

- Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.

- Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.

- Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.

- Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.

- Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.

- Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.

- Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.

- Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.

- Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.

- Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.

- Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.

- Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.

- Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.

- Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.

- Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.

- Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.

- Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.

- Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.

- Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.

- Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.

- Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.

- Revived Sure Start under the guise of Best Start Hubs.

- Stood up to Trump and kept us out of Iran without the US/UK relationship falling apart.

- Restored international faith in the UK

And this is the man who has been hounded out for not being flashy enough and not courting the media.

If you think all of these are positive achievements then that's your opinion. I don't have the time or inclination to go through them one by one.
Point 12, I cannot let go. raising money from those most able to contribute The 20% VAT was possibly the cruellest of his decisions. SEND children who need private school education, like my 13 year old GD, do not all have wealthy parents. So many have had to go back to mainstream education that failed them in the first place. They are in private schools because of educational needs NOT rich parents. Please get your facts straight. Knowing what my family has gone through on my GD's behalf, I find your post upsetting.

The no-fault evictions has meant many landlords have gone out of the rental market.

Not every tenant was a great tenant.

As an owner of a SME, this government has stifled our growth and deterred any expansion or taking on new employees any time soon.

Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline

Well that’s certainly up for discussion, Peter Mandelson, an anti corruption minister having to resign for corruption, a housing minister for substandard conditions in his flats, freebie’s for the PM and his wife…

Yes.
The Scroungers' Charter.

And some of those things were just plain wrong for the country.
The two child cap should have stayed.
All the benefits you mention should have been directed towards the very poorest.
Kept the old sick pay benefits, not extended them to anyone who fancies throwing a sickie for the day.
The triple lock will have to go sooner or later, it’s just a political vote catcher, and state pensions can’t continue at that rate as the population gets older and older.
Putting up minimum wages whilst clobbering employers with more NI was a sure way to create youth unemployment.
I can’t be bothered to go through all your points it’s too hot but on defence KS has done nothing bar talking.
If he was such a brilliant PM that had done wonders, then he wouldn’t be resigning now.

They achieved these under his leadership. We cannot ascribe all good things to the whole party, but all shortcomings to Starmer himself.

That is unreasonable.

The Labour party as a whole achieved these things. They are not due to Starmer.
