I was naive in being hopeful': Labour voters feel let down after first year
Briefly

Supporters of the Labour Party have expressed dissatisfaction with the government's first year under Keir Starmer. Initial optimism has shifted to unhappiness about their record. Disillusionment is evident among members like Jan from Manchester, who has resigned over worries regarding party policies. Her sentiments mirror the feelings of others, including Desanka, who criticized Labour's housing policies for failing to address local authority housing waiting lists. Many supporters desire an alternative to the current government, reflecting a sense of betrayal and unmet expectations.
Jan from Manchester expressed her disillusionment: "I kept telling myself that really, Keir Starmer was a man with a Ming vase on a polished floor, and that somehow after they were in power that things would really start to change."
Jan noted her sadness over her resignation from the party, stating, "I'm more sad than I am angry, and that's [a] very difficult place to be, to feel so let down, betrayed and disappointed."
Desanka commented on Labour's housing policy, stating it would not sufficiently address local authority housing waiting lists, highlighting a key concern among voters.
