on this programme , don't you? on this programme, don't you? can get in touch with us. join the conversation all the usual ways. email me gb views @gbnews. com go to the website gbnews.com/yoursay. or of course you can tweet or text me lots. i need to talk to you. milk. i never thought i'd hear myself saying that, but i do. i need to talk to you about milk. what's been added to cows in the pursuit of net zero? that's coming up in the second half of the programme. but look, it's been quite a few rocky few months, hasn't for it, keir starmer and his government. and now he's launching what he's calling a plan for change. other people i have to say, are calling this essentially a reset. he's going to look at these kind of five policy areas , these kind of five policy areas, put some targets to these areas. mark goodwin yeah , many people mark goodwin yeah, many people are talking about oh never mind targets. you're hitting things like 20,000 boat crossings since you came in. so maybe you perhaps might want to focus on some of those things. they shout do we need a reset? >> well, i mean, keir starmer

and labour have only been in office for four months and already they need a reset. you look at the polling yesterday, starmer's leadership ratings are up —32. that's what i call prince andrew territory. but if you look at all of the big issues, small boats still coming, they said they'd take back control economy. we know we're heading into low growth rates because labour's economic plan isn't working. smash the family farmers took fuel duty off pensioners while giving £18 billion to this illegal migration crisis, not to mention freebie gate, not to mention mps quietly slipping out the back door because it turns out they did something dodgy, and starmer saying he was going to return the country to integrity. the point i'm trying to make here, michel, is what on earth were labour doing before they came to power? like, surely they knew they were coming into office. they should have prepared for this. and already four months in, we're talking about a reset because they are fundamentally out of touch with the country. that's what's going on here. >> he's not calling it a reset. he's calling it a plan for change. >> i'd call it a government in crisis. this is a student union government in full blown crisis. that's what's going on. is it matthew laza? >> no. absolutely not. i mean,

yeah, he's absolutely not calling it a reset. i think what the good thing he's doing is he has these five missions before the election, which is which, frankly, some of us thought were a little bit broad, a little bit vague. and remember what the five missions were. i knew you were going to ask me. so i didn't memorise, but and actually, that's a very can you remember what they are? the highest growth in the g7. >> that's not going well is it? >> that's not going well is it? >> i mean, small boats. >> i mean, small boats. >> that's not going well, nhs. that's not going well. i mean it's a government in crisis. let's be realistic. >> i don't think it's a government in crisis. i think it's a government that's had a very difficult hang on. >> so you can remember one of the five i and this is your team. so i'm not trying. this is not me trying to. >> absolutely. you you've got a serious point, which is that they think that that we all went round with these five missions in our heart as those of us who voted labour, voted labour. the truth of the matter is, if they pass me by, they passed people who take less of an interest in politics. >> but that's the point, isn't it? this is a government that

has not captured the mood of the nation. it's a government that people look at and they just shrug their shoulders and think, you're on the side of immigrants, you're on the side of the
