Start the rebuilding work, Keir Starmer, and show us you're different to the last bunch of cowboys | Isabel Hardman

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Both this conversation and the cross-party talks on social care, which will start next month, are largely aimed at getting public and political buy-in for the plans the government eventually pursues, rather than coming up with new ideas that no one has thought of yet.
54% : It is not just in the NHS and social care where this is the year to get on with the building work.
52% : Setting up yet another commission on social care is an extreme example of Labour putting off the promised urgent repairsIs this really going to be the year that the government "gets things done"?
51% : Social care is an extreme example of the policy problems that Labour needs to do some serious rebuilding work on: successive governments have produced towers of documents in the form of commissions, taskforces and even manifesto proposals, all amounting to very little in the form of concrete reform.
44% : The justice system, which is as overlooked and beleaguered as social care, has been on its knees for years, and is again something Starmer has complained volubly about from opposition.
