Just because they haven't convinced the nation they are correct in doing this, doesn't mean they aren't going to do it.
Starmer has his Five Year Plan, and nothing is going to get in the way of that.

Labour holding the door open for the Tories and/or ReformUK to come to power in five years time.

38mago 17.27GMT @ Only 21% of Britons believe Labour's claim it's not returning to austerity, poll suggests More in Common UK, a campaign group working for community cohesion, has published some detailed polling on attitudes to the economy. The full 30- page report is here. Summing up the findings, More in Commons says that over the past six ‘months public gloom about the economy has got deeper. It goes on: 44 The public are both deeply anxious and pessimistic about the economy, with little faith in the government’s ability to make things better. Public trust in the government has fallen with Britons more likely to believe the government hid its true economic plans in order to get elected, and little trust in promises to deliver improvements to Britain’s economy, public services and their own personal lives.

A reminder, they were only elected six months ago, to have burned through so much goodwill so quickly....

There has been a huge rise since the election in the proportion of people ‘who say they do not expect Labour to improve the lives of people like them. At the time of the election people were narrowly more likely to say Labour would improve their lives (54%) than not (46%). But now people are more than twice as likely to say their lives will get worse under Labour (71%) than the opposite (29%).

And this is why people think Labour are not on their side

Thago 16.57 GMT MPs have again voted to remove a Lords amendment to the national insurance contributions (NICs) bill that would exempt hospices from the rise in employer NICs in the budget. Peers had tabled amendments to the bill that would introduce exemptions for the health and social care sector, including hospices, care homes, GP practices, dentists and pharmacies. But today MPs voted 312 to 190, majority 122, to reject the introduction of exemptions. The Lords amendments were also voted down by the Commons on Wednesday last week. During the debate the SNP’s Dave Doogan claimed terminally ill children in hospices would lose out as a result of the Lords amendment being rejected. And after the vote the Lib Dem health and social care spokesperson Helen Morgan said: 44 In a shocking display of apathy towards patients, Labour MPs have refused to back down on tax hikes targeting hospitals, GPs, dentists, pharmacies, hospices and care homes. It is patients who will pay the price for these misguided tax hikes on a sector that desperately needs our support to keep saving lives.
