Can the PM keep his promises?

The Labour Manifesto set out two very clear goals or overriding themes. They would bring in a politics driven by a sense of service, not based on party or self interest. They would make sure if you work hard they would respect your contribution and give you a fair chance to get on.
A few days into the Mandelson crisis, and after living through two lethal tax raising budgets that clobbered many different groups of self employed, employees, and small businesses, the government looks well detached from these guiding principles they set out.
The Manifesto broke down these themes into 6 first steps they would take as a government, so things we could expect in say the first nineteen months.
1. They promised economic stability, keeping taxes, inflation and mortgages as low as possible. Instead they have helped put inflation up and have put through a series of punitive tax rises.
2.They would cut NHS waiting lists by offering more treatments and appointments. Instead they are trying to get the waiting lists down by taking people off the lists.
3.They would set up a new Border Command to “smash the criminal boat gangs”. Instead they scrapped the new law that illegal migrants cannot claim asylum on entry , and presided over a big increase in illegal arrivals.
4.Set up Great British Energy to cut energy bills. Instead energy bills have been hiked several times and they have signed up to more long term contract renewable power at very high prices.
5.Crack down on anti social behaviour. No evidence of that.
6. Recruit 2500 new teachers

The public certainly heard the promise amidst the election noise that they would smash the gangs, and they have been bitterly disappointed. They heard and wanted to believe the pledge not to increase taxes on working people and are angry at the big tax rises put through hitting employment and cutting take home pay and spending power.
