If anything, I can’t think of a single example of them opposing anything the tories have done in any substantial way, they don’t stand for the working class or the services we depend on, they don’t stand for marginalised people (not stepped up to protect disabled people, trans people, immigrants against the cuts and abuse we face, think BLM was a joke, just off the top of my head, I’m not doing your research for you), they’re neoliberal cons pulling the wool over the public’s eyes pretending to be an “alternative” when they literally serve the same people, and it isn’t you or me.
Maybe try actually taking your head out of the sand of privilege protecting you from seeing the reality, and paying attention instead of buying in to and pinning your hopes on this charade, because Labour ain’t fixing shit for you.
I don’t mean to be dismissive but every time I ask this question the reply is the same: Everything!, long list of things, links to articles, “do your own research”.
Unfortunately the media have programmed you to hate Keir Starmer in the same way they programmed you to hate the EU.
I’m going to respond to your first sentence, I know this will result in you not replying, or saying “what about xyz”, but I don’t think I can reprogram you out of everything, which I why I ask for one single thing.
I’m working class and disabled, I rely on my GP and specialist services. I’m currently waiting 2 years for treatment on the NHS, and my doctors surgery makes every excuse under the sun as to why I cannot get an appointment. Labour have just this week pledged 40,000 more NHS appointments. They are constantly holding the Conservatives to account in PMQs on their terrible record of not willing to negotiate with doctors over pay, NHS mismanagement, and their “40 new hospitals” lie. If I get treatment I might be able to start working again, the Tories want to cut my benefits so I am forced back to any type of work where I will get sicker.
The opposition party don’t have any power to implement policy all they can do is try and direct things in a slightly different manner but the conservatives are not interested in listening so there’s not a lot that labour can do.
Frankly you seem like you’ve decided that you don’t like the labour party and are now flailing around trying to look for reasons. At some point you’ve probably said “they’re all the same” or “they’re Tory Lite”, probably because someone said it down the pub once, and now you’re going to parrot it, ad infinitum.
Let’s just focus on this policy announcement shall we? The conservatives are threatening to introduce national service, meanwhile Labour are not threatening to do that, they are saying they will lower the voting age 16. How are they not opposing the Conservatives?
Lol, literally all of it.

Would you agree that consistently voting against something and promising to repeal it would constitute a substantial opposition?
