Episode notes
Labour's 'Reset'
- Labour's new policy announcements aren't a sudden reaction to recent resignations.
- They're part of a long-term strategy, but they're being framed as a refocus.
Missions vs. Milestones
- Starmer's "missions" are broad goals, while the "milestones" are specific, measurable targets within those missions.
- These milestones will be used to track progress and hold the government accountable.
Milestones as Millstones
- Political slogans and promises can become burdens if not fulfilled.
- Starmer's focus on "delivery" makes achieving these milestones crucial for his government's success.
