The two titanic issues that will define – or destroy – the Starmer Government: TOM HARRIS

The two Titanic issues will define the remaining four years of this parliament, and in the cabinet change, Keir Starmer at least detected them.

Only a year later in the government seems early to describe the prime minister’s election as ‘the last roll of the membrane’, but if Pat McFadden and Shabana Mahmood cannot comprehend the welfare reform and illegal immigration, Sir Keir will not have a political future.

The country needs to see some policy presentation in the next few months or faces the risk of being a PM for a period.

This urgency should pay attention to the summary of these two most important cabinets.

The third describes a lot about the loyalty and judgment of Sir Keir, a relatively low-profile İş-İskoç Secretary-İskoç Secretary.

Or lack – then.

The workers’ government has already received grief of the perennial and urgent task of carrying the Torrid reform and the benefits of millions of working -age adults and transportation to work.

This is an existential challenge: If not, in a generation, England will not be able to finance the welfare state.

Nevertheless, former Labor and Pension Secretary Liz Kendall refused to vote for their solutions when he tried to convince workers’ deputies that he was not an option to avoid reform.

And when Sir Keir was delivered to the demands of his worried backbencher, Mrs. Kendall abandoned herself and reforms were scrapped.

Instead of Pat McFadden, faced with the same difficulty – to save billions of plaintiffs on the prosperity bill and convince the plaintiffs that it will be better at work.

McFadden, one of the more intellectuals of his colleagues, is definitely a popular and respected figure in the Calnifiye and Parliamentary Labor Party for the task.

As a working class child grown in Glasgow, identity information will not be hurt.

However, the problem faced by Ms. Kendall is the same: the Labor Party itself.

Most of the Parliament colleagues are against making non -popular decisions and opposing the case home in the election zones.

They never registered to avoid being loved, and no one seems to have told them that the government was mostly difficult, easy, not easy, and deciding.

The agenda that confronted the new Minister of Interior Shabana Mahmood, if there is anything, more scary than Mr. McFadden.

At the beginning of its priorities, there is a crisis of small boats, which is an insoluble issue unless asylum applications and deportation processes are not reshaped.

But Mrs. Mahmood can only be a woman to do this.

This is the arrogant, arrogant justice secretary, when they publish new punishment guidelines that have judicial rights, which will mean softer sentences.

Ethnic minorities and trans people. He confronted his masters, who were best satisfied with an extreme dismissal by an elected politician.

However, Ms. Mahmood won a victory for common sense.

At the same time, it is one of the few working politicians who unconditionally support women’s rights against the rape of transfers (biological men) who have gained the hostility of transfers activists.

Someone who wants to rely on these strongly acquired interests may be a woman who will take on the smuggling gangs and a drop of civil society that makes the change so difficult.

Former Scottish Secretary Ian Murray, who is unexpectedly expelled and replaced with Douglas Alexander, who will not play a role in the government.

Alexander is a great politician who does the same job under the direction of Tony Blair.

However, the dismissal of Murray is very reasonable and can cause serious harm to Sir Keir.

Murray, in the last decade, represented the reason for the Scottish worker, the party has been praised and admirable for predicting it as the only Scottish deputy.

He is popular among his colleagues and journalists and is known to be hardworking. This makes one of Sir Keir’s most powerful supporters more surprising.

37 Among the strong Scottish workers’ deputy, Sir Keir’s movement has already caused a serious anger-a self-occurred headache that he can do well.

Apart from the Westminster balloon, very little care or cares about such personal dramas.

His low views on this government will only change if Mr. McFadden and Mrs. Mahmud affect a real change in their departments and country.

However, this will depend on how much their colleagues are willing to vote for a significant change, even if they are not popular in the short term.

And this will depend on the leadership of Sir Keir Starmer, a man who proves his desire to be equally radical and unreliable.
