  • SIR - The Prime Minister, after just five months in office, feels it necessary to reset his plans for government (report, December 6). He now lists six "milestone" targets upon which to be judged, to go with his five missions,

The article from MSN discusses the skepticism surrounding Sir Keir Starmer's recent pledges, focusing on his history of shifting political stances. It highlights how Starmer, the Labour Party leader, has made several promises including economic stability, shorter NHS waiting times, a new border security command, and the establishment of Great British Energy. Critics, however, point to his past actions where he has changed positions on key issues like Brexit, tuition fees, and nationalization, suggesting that his current commitments might not be reliable. The piece references his previous support for Jeremy Corbyn, his U-turn on tuition fees, and his evolving stance on Brexit, painting a picture of a politician who adapts his views to political convenience rather than principle. This history leads to doubts about whether Starmer can be trusted to follow through on his latest pledges.
