If Starmer were a farmer, and had just taken over the British farm, he'd see the weeds, the depleted soils, the fly-tipped woods, the ailing cattle, the dried up polluted stream, the decaying farm house and cattle sheds and the hay loft empty, and he'd despair,

What the hell can I do here?

Well, sometimes farmers do face this problem. and the answer is to start from the beginning, and to turn around this farm will takes years, years of investment, hard labour, back breaking work, long term thinking ...

Sitting in the decaying building and spouting "change"and telling the farm workers the sun will shine tomorrow is never going to cut it. It's just deeply dishonest and self-delusional. .
