The King’s Speech wasn’t the transformative plan for the country we need. It will take time for any govt to undo the effects of 50 years of neoliberalism,. King’s Speech shows that on too many fronts the govt’s ambition is not matched by actions. leftfootforward.org/2026/05/the-ki…

"The government has some good policies, but it is hard to discern a transformative plan for society. The King’s Speech tinkers at the edges and is unlikely to deliver sustained economic growth or household resilience", writes @premnsikka leftfootforward.org/2026/05/the-ki…

"If Keir Starmer goes, his successor will be our 5th PM in 7 years. They will then face the near-impossible task of leading a majority government that has never had anything close to majority public support. It’s time to admit it: 1/3 of the vote, on a historically low turnout, is not a foundation on which to deliver for the country." leftfootforward.org/2026/05/the-bi…

If we’re to win back the trust of working class communities then we shouldn’t shy away from talking about class inequality and how to smash the class ceiling. Class continues to determine life chances in the U.K. and many feel the effects firsthand.

"It’s easy for politicians to put the blame on the voters for choosing irresponsibly and letting this or that party in. But the reality is, people are tired of being ignored. They are tired of being treated as predictable voting blocs. They want a system that reflects the complexity of their views, rather than forcing them into binary choices." Our CEO @Emma_Campaigner in @LeftFootFwd today 👇 leftfootforward.org/2026/05/the-bi…
