When Rachel Reeves takes to her feet in the Commons to deliver her spring statement next week, she will try to pull off what her inner circle describe as a “re-education” exercise over how Labour has used its early days in power.
“We want it to be a re-education on all the good things we’ve already done in office,” said one, listing achievements including increasing the minimum wage, cutting NHS waiting lists and improving workers’ rights. “We want everybody to hear it.”
Few Labour MPs believe there is much reason for cheer, as there is little sign of the economy improving anytime soon, with growth forecasts expected to be downgraded again next week and Reeves announcing the biggest spending cuts since austerity.
The despair came to a head this week after Liz Kendall, the work and pensions secretary, announced £5bn of cuts to disability benefits. Despite No 10 arguing that it had a “moral case” for welfare reform as well as an economic one, many Labour MPs responded with dismay.

I mean it was obviously a protest vote against the Tories. Labour just happened to be the only realistic protest alternative. They could've done great things with that opportunity, and they still can I guess, but it looks more like they're just riding along tbh
The only alternative presented to the public for years and years, in spite of the fact they had no MP's, was and is the pro Trump pro Russian Reform Party.
That's a very English centric comment. I'll stick to my own useless alternative party thanks.
Oh look, if it isn’t the same shitty two party system where one party wants to push its right wing agenda and the other just wants to be rich. Sounds familiar?
There is a simple method for solving actual intractable-problems of things like urban-planning & civil government, as identified in "The Heretic's Guide to Best Practices".
It is issue diagramming.
They wrongly call it dialog-mapping, but dialogs are of people, & so political-possessions, whereas issues just stand on their own, & so can be independent-of-political-possession.
Also, they have a deranged infatuation with doing it sideways, calling that a "Capitola Pathway", but .. they're ivory-tower people, so that's fine for them.
Take a portrait-format page & lay it down at one's toes, & where does the "next step" part of the page happen to be?
Right above one's toes, right?
Where does the far-end-of-the-path, the Goal, happen to be on that page? The far-end, the top, right?
THAT is the right orientation for an Issue-Diagram, not sideways.

IF every issue gets solved as an externalized ( didn't Stephen R. Covey identify DECADES ago that the top-3% most-effective people ALL externalized their goals?? that isn't "mere coincidence"! ) Issue-Diagram,
with the structure of the problem displayed as a visual-spacial diagram, showing the connections and dependencies & showing IF this, THEN that connections..
THEN people gain much more complete understanding, much quicker.
People's keeping it in our heads, & just trying to muddle-to the "right" answer through our feelings, can't work for either entrenched-political problems OR for too-complex problems.
This method-for-getting-past-our-innate-unconsciousness-and-inability was cracked years ago!
It works, too.
( visual-spacial cracking-of-problems has been discovered to be not only key to cracking urban-planning, civil-problems, it has also been proven to be able to convert a massive-failure-rate among complex software development problems, to an actual-success-rate, instead.
Wrong-representation for the required critical-thinking is a fundamental error that we keep making.
I think it may be related to the fundamental-error of doing-the-same-thing-harder when what the actual-context-requires is changing-what-we're-doing, that was identified as a race-wide mental-defect in the book "The Design of Everyday Things", a book which is partly responsible for the instigation of the "Mythbusters" franchise, when Savage discovered, through that book, that if a system's operation wasn't intuitively-obvious, it may well be its user-interface was engineered-wrong, & ALL the users have the same problem, because of that.. )
Anyways, it was an English mathematician whose video, on software development, clued me in that the visual-spacial cracking of problems & communicating what they are, is THE key to actually succeeding, in ALL such cases..
& then I understood that "Heretic's Guide to Best Practices" was actually just doing a variant of that, in a specific domain..
The method's sound.
Have every component-decision identified,
have what brings the decision's result contributing to the goal be identified on 1 side of it, as a + ( or above it ),
have what variant of the decision would obstruct the gaining of the goal on the other side of it, say below it, as a -
& let people see the tradeoffs, & decide for themselves how these tradeoffs should be managed,
instead of just "authority decided for you", ( it should be obvious that the contempt-of-the-population inherent in that stance has political-consequences ) & never bothered including all the required perspectives anyways ( which is the political status-quo, globally ).
CHANGE the METHOD to change the results!!
A sentiment of Einstein's "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."
While it's unlikely that people will choose to survive if that requires us to stop letting unconscious-habit rule our world, .. it's possible that somebody will actually do-so, for some small portion of this world..
Otherwise, nonlearning .. has fatal consequences.
Globally, now.
Political-parties, though, why shouldn't they just continue obliterating our viability?
Nothing competes against the political-party-system, right?
Therefore the political-party-system doesn't need to learn, or change, or adapt, in any way, right??
Only when something is competing against a something, directly, CAN it learn?
Not as-in when the Trump-cult is competing against the Democrat make-belief, obviously that changed nothing..
but as-in when something's competing against the current system of misgovernment-by-political-parties, then the political-parties might temporarily show a little integrity .. until they removed the threat..
( anybody remember when the banks in Canada were temporarily behaving in an upright manner, because the trust-companies were competing against them .. until they were all bought-up by the banks?
this is what I'm talking about: inter-bank-competition changed nothing, but outsiders-competing-against banks did, until they were obliterated from significance.
I expect exactly the same results with political-parties.
No change due to inter-party-competition, ONLY possible-change when something threatens the political-party-regime-system )
Anyways, IF you value your municipal, or federal, or any between-level viability of some government, PLEASE use externalized, visual-spacial, Issue-Diagram style depiction of problems, leaving-out nothing-significant, to SHOW the actual decision-structures that have to be decided-between, & let the entrenched politically-motivated non-thinking fail to compete with your work.
You are correct i chose my words very poorly. I apologise

Drug shortages in the UK have risen to their worst level for four years, official figures show, with Brexit considered a key reason so many medications are scarce.
Drug companies notified the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) about disruptions to supply 1,938 times during last year – the highest number since the 1,967 seen in 2021.
Medications to treat epilepsy and cystic fibrosis are among those that pharmacists are finding it hard or impossible to get hold of, creating risks for patients’ health.
The figures have emerged in a new report by the Nuffield Trust health thinktank, which obtained them under freedom of information laws from the DHSC, which oversees the availability of drugs UK-wide.
Because some people stood to become personally very rich off the back of it, and were willing to damage a whole nation for their own benefit, because they're traitorous cunts.
To give you a less conspiratorial answer than other, because those that stood against it were labelled as being against "the will of the people". Basically even though it was non-binding, those that were pro-brexit clothed themselves as following democracy, and those who opposed them as anti-democratic.
There were several problems with the referendum:
It was called to try to quell a split within the conservative party. Not because of any real movement in the country.
It never specified what "leaving the EU" meant. When, how fast, what remaining relationship? So the debate was nebulous. Positives were extremely optimistic and negatives were dismissed as pessimistic (despite being true).
The non-binding nature meant that no margin of certainty was set. It should have needed a majority of the voting public, or > ⅔ to be taken as something we really wanted to do. It was too major a change to enact on 52-48.
We don't govern by referenda in the UK. They go against the principle that parliament is sovereign because they place the people's

We don't govern by referenda in the UK. They go against the principle that parliament is sovereign because they place the people's voice above parliament's. We're a representative democracy and not a direct one. The only other ones we've had are
2011: The Alternative Vote voting system held a few year before. Also called by David Cameron and also a complete sham of a process.
1975: Continued membership of the European Community. Called by Edward Heath to quell the same split in the conservative party.
Hence the rules that surround referenda are poorly specified.
Because the people who organised it didn't like the new financial laws being implemented by the EU. Billions of pounds worth of dodgy money is laundered through the UK every year. I can't recall the exact details but the EU were implementing laws that made money transfer more transparent. So this would have meant that all this dirty money would be traceable, and Tories didn't want this being exposed because it was their mates and families all in it up to their ears.
The very short version: It has now become clear that European governments can no longer rely on American clouds, and that we lack good and comprehensive alternatives.
