For all the chat from political pundits and the sort of people in this thread about "needing" to know what he stands for rather than what he's against
I guess this is the challenge and to bleekrefs point about starmer not needing to commit to things now, yesterday he was happy to commit to maintaining the cap on child benefit, a policy shown not to bring more people in to the work force as intended but effective at harming disadvantaged children, gives space for pundits and people in this thread space to extrapolate from what he stands for

I don't see an inconsistency there. Labour's current approach is not to make any off the cuff commitments - whether that applies to spending or repeal of legislation - so as not to make themselves a hostage to fortune later. Lammy did the same thing with the protest bill. He didn't commit to anything.

I mean this is key right? They have a strategy and are sticking to it.
For all the chat from political pundits and the sort of people in this thread about "needing" to know what he stands for rather than what he's against, what is the actual evidence that this has a negative outcome in his opinion amongst the public?
I also dare say that jornos have got so used to a fastfood like diet from Johnson et al, that they just want content. Regardless of what the public think.
