I take it I'm the only one in the UK who is annoyed and a little depressed that #Labour seems able to U-Turn on every announcement they have made since coming to power, and nobody says a word against them.

A recent aggregated list identifies 13 major U-turns — including reversals on pubs business rates, inheritance tax for farmers, workers’ rights protection, welfare cut rollbacks, winter fuel payments, academy freedom limits and, most recently, making digital IDs optional rather than compulsory for workers.
