Do you remember the ten leadership pledges that Keir Starmer broke every one of to become Labour leader? The Green Party seems to...
Right, so here’s a novelty. Keir Starmer as many of you will be aware ditched a set of 10 pledges that he stood on to become Labour leader. He didn’t do it all at once, he ditched a bit here and a bit there, binning stuff like a Green New Deal, abolishing universal credit as the failure that it has been, defending the rights of migrants instead of attacking them I’m sure there will be others you can recall without me going over all them again, history as they are now, consigned to the bin, Starmer never really meaning a word of it. And so it is in light of that perhaps, and also to expose the new Prime Ministers history of a loose association with meaning what he says that the Green Party have drafted what amounts to a new set of 10 pledges for Keir Starmer, in what can be seen as a clear swipe at Starmer’s past for being less than honest, but these aren’t 10 pledges for Starmer to deal with at some point over the next 5 years, the Greens are demanding Starmer deal with all of their pledges within the first 100 days and whilst they might not be Labour policy, much more on the lines of Green policy as you’d expect, I’d challenge anybody not to agree with them.
Right, so 10 brand new pledges for Keir Starmer, though given he hasn’t made them himself, he cannot technically be accused of breaking them when he inevitably does not deliver I suppose, but deliver on all of these he absolutely should and on some he has actually already managed at least partial success.
The Green Party has laid down what it calls its 10 steps in 100 days, so I thought I’d take a look at these and see where Labour is on these issues, where it might be getting somewhere and where it blatantly isn’t.
The first step the Greens want delivered is to settle the pay dispute with junior doctors.
Now Labour might be getting somewhere here already, it’s been a long runn..
