UK’s Starmer to Warn Change Will Take Time, Blame ‘Rot’ at Core

“When there is rot deep in the heart of a structure, you can’t just cover it up. You can’t tinker with it or rely on quick fixes. You have to overhaul the entire thing,” Starmer will say in the first major set-piece speech of his seven-week tenure.
I'm not Starmer's biggest fan, but the thing I appreciate about his approach is that he appreciates that a lot of the problems we face need holistic solutions. Unfortunately, that is going to take time to trickle through.
Ok, but they need to nail the communication on it, else people will turn. The riots killed any form of honeymoon period.
Lay out the strategy. Get public buy in. The biggest criticism of Labour before the election was not giving detail on the policies, and basically winning by not being The Conservatives. Now he needs to start filling in the detail, and not just saying "It'll be shit for a while but, trust me bro, we'll fix it."
The riots killed any form of honeymoon period.
The riots were put down quickly and the yobs are rapidly being sentenced. And there's no way the riots strengthened the opposition: the Tories were silent, and Fromage helped provoke them.
Right, but it killed the public mood of the new government being viewed in a positive light just because they won and forced the Tories out. The party mood... the honeymoon period was over.
