Why the constant swipes at Labour after just 5 months in power?

I’ve noticed a recurring pattern in this sub – frequent criticism of the Labour government despite them being in power for only five months. It feels like there’s an expectation that Sir Keir Starmer could wave a magic wand and instantly undo 15 years of damage caused by the Conservatives.

Tory supporters rarely apply this level of scrutiny to their own party, yet Labour seems to be held to an almost impossible standard from day one. Realistically, the UK faces deep structural issues that will take years to address, not months.

From what I’ve seen, Labour has been methodical and deliberate in their approach, working within the limits of the current state of the UK. Progress is happening, albeit slowly – as it was always going to.

Surely, it’s more reasonable to give them time – say, a full term – before passing judgement. Immediate results were never on the cards, and impatience only fuels unrealistic expectations.

Do people have short memories, or are we collectively being a bit unrealistic here? Curious to hear others’ thoughts.
