Or the lack of it, John Harris captures it here;
'It would also be very welcome to see something so far completely lacking: ministers applying the energy and imagination swirling around some government departments to the most basic issues of taxation, spending and the public services they pay for. This country needs a lot more than the myopic parsimony of pen-pushers and bean-counters: if it doesn’t push beyond it, the future will not be about our national condition deteriorating before it improves, but something much, much worse.' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/sep/10/keir-starmer-rachel-reeves-britain-pensioners-winter-fuel-allowance
The reverse applies for international relations - we talk big but don't have the tools to deliver. Unlike 1938 when Chamberlain apeased Hitler Britain was already rearming at pace and Chamberlain eventually declared war on Germany. Our armed forces are currently in a dire state to that extent that one has to worry that firm talk cannot be delivered upon.

Maybe there is the beginning of a realisaton that the Labour Party is a lost cause, well put by Owen Jones here and he urges left MPs to 'Call the bluff of your assailants: leave, and form an alliance with the Green and leftwing independent MPs' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/feb/05/labour-left-keir-starmer-power-right-britain
To which I'd add that the name Labour in Name Only is now warranted by the facts
'Of the £21.5m in cash received by the party in 2023, just £5.9m came from the trade union movement, compared with £14.5m from companies and individuals – a huge increase on the previous year, and indeed more than in the three previous years of Keir Starmer’s leadership combined. As trade union contributions have dipped slightly, from around £6.9m in 2020 and 2021 to £5.3m in 2022, donations from businesses and individuals have soared: they totalled £2.3m in 2020 and rose to £3m in 2021 and £7.6m in 2022 before nearly doubling last year' https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/labour-conservative-party-donations-2023-spending-analysis/
Which means that this Full Fact article isn't as neutral as it sounds - it used data from 2019 to say unions were the biggest funders of Labour when responding to 2024 election comment https://fullfact.org/news/nadhim-zahawi-labour-rmt-funding/
