THE good news is that Oasis have reformed and are going to be belting out those old tunes that everyone knows and loves, like Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger.

The bad news is that a favourite old tune of blaming the other lot is being sung long and loudly by Keir Starmer. He certainly is looking back in anger and saying that his political inheritance from the Tories is appalling, with black holes all over the place.

Anyone who has lived in Britain over the last few years and has tried to use its public services knows this: if not black holes, they experience pot holes all over the place, from long waits in A&E to sewage on the tidelines of their beaches.

Labour clearly believe that they have to nail this toxic legacy on the Tories. The note Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liam Byrne left in 2010 – “there’s no money left” – is still used against Labour, so they want to build a reputation for Rishi Sunak’s party that will haunt it for decades to come.

Yet part of the reason Labour got such a big landslide is that people were voting for change. They were tired of the Tories’ fantastical promises about a hugely expensive Rwanda scheme stopping the small boats or about levelling up coming true before our eyes.

They wanted an end to the game of politics that people like Boris Johnson loved playing, and they wanted action.

Just blaming the other lot doesn’t sound like change and is not going to bring NHS waiting lists down, help councils revive our town centres, or build new prisons (shockingly, there were only 100 male prison places available in the whole country yesterday).

Labour has only been in power for 54 days and no one is expecting miracles, but most voters would say “definitely” to hearing about positive plans and only “maybe” to yet more downbeat negativity.
