If it were done...
Labour seems to have exactly the right idea, do all the nasty, difficult things when the blame still lies firmly at the feet of the Tory government.
After all that is what the Con/Lib Dem government did and in fact the Tories are still blaming all the country’s problems on the last Labour government. 14 years after Gordon Brown crashed the US mortgage market by massively under regulating it, they are still wittering on.
Also they don’t seem to know how to stop. Tory shadow ministers, MPs and commentators are chuntering on like they still matter, like the Labour majority isn’t large enough to give them a mandate and as if only they are fit to govern.
Well as the speed of the Labour government’s actions shows, they don’t matter, the majority lets the government do exactly what they want, just like it did for the Tories when they had a majority and as Labour show every day the Tories were not fir to govern.
Just a week of sensible, reliable, evidence based policy, sound, well thought out plans and a united team, well led and keen to act morally and legally and you realise what we have been missing for years.
The Tories will be consoling themselves with the “fact” that Rishi Sunak was a terrible campaigner, called the election at the wrong time and all the rest. They will also sink deeper into the habit of blaming the woke, the blob, the civil service and the liberal elite for their failures. The efficiency of Labour will only add fuel to that conspiracy theory.
But the simple fact is that they were stupid, divided, ideologically driven, blind to the evidence before their eyes, appallingly cruel and nasty, racist and pandered to their far right arm.
Following on from that is making Labour’s job easier, they just seem nicer and more competent and practical, because they are. They should not make the mistake of previous Labour administrations and be too cautious.
They are the government and they can do what they want and still blame the Tories and the quicker the better.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.

"They should not make the mistake of previous Labour administrations and be too cautious."
I agree totally with that. There was so much which Tony Blair could have achieved in his first year, if he had not had more confidence in the power he had in his hands. But there were many other mistakes which Labour made, including the disastrous NHS IT project, and other vanity big ticket wastes of money, not to mention the Iraq War. I hope they will learn from those mistakes too.
