Here's what's already on its way through parliament:
1. Renters Rights Bill ends no fault evictions and grants right for two month notice periods for tenants
2. Rail Nationalisation Bill will start to bring the railways back into public ownership - that just passed the Lords
3. Football Regulation Bill creates the Football Regulator and forces clubs to consult with fans over ticket prices
4. Pension funds rejig will mean more investment in infrastructure - boring but important
5. Planning reforms means more new homes, renewables, power grid upgrades - this is enormous
6. That budget, let's not forget, redressed the balance of tax burden from working people - where it's sat for the last fourteen years - to redress back to unearned wealth. Non Dom. Private Equity Carry. Farm exceptions. CGT increase. Enough? No. But a fuck of a lot more than we've got for the last decade and a half.

Yes, they've actually done quite a few good things.
The messaging and politics has been rubbish.
The press coverage has been bitter and outright aggressive.

You note this, but it needs to be emphasised that a lot of these aren't actually done, there's no guarantee they will be done, and we have no idea what the final bill/laws will be. I hope they get done (along with many of their other promises).

He did manage to shit on the civil service yesterday, so there's something concrete.

In any case, when is it fair to start assessing Starmer's government? We've all got a lot riding on him not fucking this up.
