I'm with most of you and don't expect Labour to be much better than the Tories, especially with Starmer as PM. And I know that many of you hate the system overall and anyone involved in it.
But I'd really like some realistic, or at least semi-realistic, ideas, of what might actually be better under Labour than the Tories.
I know there will be lots of people just going "blue Tories" yadadada. We all know that. And there's some stuff I think will either be worse or exactly the same (esp re immigration - except the one listed below). I respectfully request the dishonourable members of this chamber to take that stuff to a different thread.
Anyway...

- The massive majority makes me wonder if Starmer's purges were perhaps not as successful as he'd hoped. Also, it means a hell of a lot of Labour MPs have no chance of a ministerial role, which, ISTM, could mean that he can't control them all, and there actually ends up being at least a fringe group of relatively left-wing MPs who end up voting in a non-blue-Tory way
- There does seem to be more of a commitment to building more social housing. We'll see how it turns out, but the zeitgeist is in favour of more social housing
- Public transport may well get more investment and less waste - public ownership is the aim, and a limited form of that was in the King's Speech
- The bizarre, inhumane, and extremely expensive outsourcing refugees to Rwanda shit will be history
