Charlie Falconer criticized Keir Starmer's government for lacking energy and urged a return to reforming zeal. He believes this revitalization is critical to preserve Labour's achievements in social issues and infrastructure. Missteps in the government's first year have led to diminished confidence among ministers. Falconer recommends that No 10 adopt strategies from proactive cabinet ministers to effectively drive ideological change. He asserted that important announcements are not resonating with the public, emphasizing the necessity for Labour to establish a strong political identity to attract voters.
Without that, he said, Labour risked losing all credit for its big achievements from employment and renters' rights to green energy and major infrastructure investments.
I think we are a quite energetic government, [but] we are characterised as a tired bunch of same-again politicians, and that is not right.
He said he was worried the party's best announcements were being missed or overshadowed.
It makes it all the more important that Labour has a tangible, identifiable political personality. People don't vote for Diet Coke. They vote for the real thing.
