Grudging Signup: come on now, he just said "let's hope" I mean we can all hope that Starmer doesn't turn out to be exactly who he's been since 5 minutes after winning the leadership, right 😅

Labour’s campaign was extremely cautious, and given past defeats I understand why. But now the UK center-left has a huge majority in a system with many fewer choke points than in the U.S. Let’s hope they’re ready to govern like the dominant party they now are

lol this absolutely won't happen

What’s funny is that Krugman wrote something for the guardian that was pretty much “I don’t thing he’ll change anything” only a couple of weeks ago

Lol of course he did

I disagree with Krugman on quite a bit, but he's got the Very Serious People's* number: (**looks towards Starmer, Reeves, Scholz, Macron etc for no reason*)

He'll totally turn left now, that's what I was told

He's gotta turn left now! He's just gotta, I tells ya! 😟

He wouldn't lie! I don't know if you know this, but apparently his dad was a toolmaker, and you can trust a toolmaker.

Wow, I actually had not heard that. You'd think he'd have mentioned it.

I know, right? He's been very hush hush about it during the campaign.

A very private person. Not like that Rishi Sunak, giving it all "my dad was a pharmacist and my mum was a doctor, but we weren't posh because we didn't have Sky TV back in the 90s when it was considered vulgar" 😒
