Bliar had plenty of opportunity and years in which to reverse much that Thatcher introduced.

Let's put it another way; name one government enterprise that is really working well. You can introduce local government in that list if you wish.
I can't understand why local government and councils, have been averse to the construction of council estates. They are self, financing, bringing in income and creating jobs by way of maintenance.

On a separate note, Starmer has prevented the allocation of a whole, life, tariff for the crimes of the Southport monster because in the eyes of the law and under a UN (non binding) resolution, he was a child when he committed the crime and yet, Starmer is keen on giving votes to those aged six****, double standard at play. How can people who are not held, fully accountable to the law because of their immaturity, be allowed to influence the political, direction of the nation, any chance that it's because Starmer knows they are more likely to vote Labour? Similarly, he won't rock the boat with the Muslim voters by calling out certain, cultural incompatibilities.
