Gracious to the outgoing PM, inclusive of all voters, and noting a key change of direction - the government is there to serve the people, not vice versa.

Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

He's already doing some good things. I'll need to adjust my cynicism about him.

(Some critics are saying he killed it because "it doesn't go far enough"...) https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp08y5p52e2o: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says he has appointed a CEO known for employing ex-offenders as the new prisons minister because he "walks the walk". Fingers crossed for the good people of the UK. Cheers, Scott. |
