Labour: dithering indifference, incompetence and prevarication rule the day

Posted on June 19 2026

14.00, and this is what we know.

Starmer is not going. I believe him.

Burnham has no idea what to do, and wants 100 days to work it out. I believe him: he does not know what to do.

The Cabinet are showing no sign of moving. Convictions and decisions are beyond them.

The neoliberal circus is delighted with Burnham's choice of advisors: nothing is going to change. He has made that clear.

Dithering indifference, incompetence and prevarication is the order of the day.

True New Labour, then. Everyone, only worrying ability themselves and their CV, too worried to do anything.

Without exception they suffer internalised neoliberalism. See yesterday's video.
