Mr Rose

I personally see no major differences in economic policy as both support a free market capitalist economy.

May be a few tweaks in tax rates but nothing that would frighten the horses.

Facing the issue of the number of people not working and claiming benefits (often for 'mental health issues') will be avoided as the only way to get people to work is to have a benefits system where not working is not a viable option for maintaining a reasonable lifestyle.

I think the bigger differences will be in social and foreign policy as I posted earlier.

1) Immigration and 'the boat people' where most want it curbed or at least better managed whilst many in Labour are ambivalent if not seeming in favour of open borders.

2) Gender and self-identification.

Starmer reckons 0.1 % of women have a penis (no offence ladies) and Labour's policy is to allow one non-specialist GP to sign off on male transexuals' desire to be considered female and hence use female designated spaces.

3) Israel.

Don't forget Starmer was once a great supporter of Jeremy Corbyn and other quasi-antisemites until he himself was elected leader.

The pro-Palestinian faction in the Party is huge though I have never seen described what the aspirations of Palestinians actually are that Labour supports.

And some Labour MPs defied the whip to support the SNP motion that seemed to equate the actions of Israel and Arab Palestinians in the Gaza region.

A goodly number certainly of the supporters I am sure would be quite happy for Israel not to exist and I am not certain whether Starmer would have the numbers in Parliament or the Party to gainsay them.
