If agreeing pay rises is all we expect of government trying to improve the country I give up.
Where's the big changes to make things better? I've not seen any detailed proposals or draft legislation just shitty pledges and some serious PR fuckups.

Because you weren't looking?

It was more than just agreeing an irrationally delayed pay rise:

As already has been pointed out, you haven't been looking. The Employment Rights Act alone will have a direct impact on millions of people in the country, giving them stronger protections against rogue employers.
The election was held in July, Parliament reconvened for a couple of weeks, which was filled with administrative stuff, then went into summer recess, came back for two weeks, then went into another recess for party conference season. Basically, it's been functioning for two months of the five months since the election.

They've settled ongoing disputes with the train unions, the nurses and the doctors. I don't see how you can paint that in anything other than a positive way.
Lets not forget that the Tories had basically given up. Truss crashed the economy, which made government borrowing significantly more expensive, so taxes had to be raised to the highest level since the post-second world war period, and loads of important decisions were just booted down the road. I cannot think of a previous British government who inherited such a shit show. To think anyone could even begin to address the issues faced within a hundred days is deluded.
