All part of the plan. Two terms of parliament with labour fixing everything and the Tories on the sidelines braying about how bad of a job they're doing. Then just as things are starting to turn around the cycle resets and the Tories are back for another 15 years.

Ah yes, let's unfuck our NHS funding crisis by fucking up people's livelihoods. The IPPR are a bunch of reptiles in skinsuits who would rather sacrifice people's lives for the sake of protecting the upper class.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The study from the Institute for Public Policy Research, a progressive thinktank, outlines the challenges an incoming Labour government would face, with voters impatient for change within a first term.
Some of the IPPR’s ideas include rolling out AI tools, such as ChatGPT, to the public sector to save an estimated £24bn a year, with a “right to retrain” for workers whose jobs are affected.
In education, the IPPR found it would take more than one parliamentary term for secondary schools to reduce the attainment gap between richer and poorer students to 2017 levels.
The IPPR, whose work has previously been drawn on by Labour for inspiration, sets out a prescription of “prevention, personalisation and productivity” as the key to improving public services.
It says previous attempts to change public services focused on targets and outcomes, choice and competition, without paying enough attention to “intrinsic motivation”, which can be found with a better trained, more trusted and more autonomous workforce.
The FT reported this week that Starmer would seek to reduce churn in the civil service workforce, which he believes could hamper the ability of senior Whitehall officials to deliver on Labour’s priorities.
