Why?Maybe give Lab a year before we shit down their throats...
Why?
From the looks of it it appears they're going to do exactly what people feared they'd do before they were even elected - they're going to increase taxes on the middle classes and do fuck all about the super-rich. They're meddling around the edges and not making any of the "change" that they were supposedly all about.
The Guardian is running piece after piece about Rachel Reeves being the reincarnation of George Osbourne. Even more austerity, here we come.
Nope.Because Tories did the exact same thing and if not worse, over the 5000 days they were in power and (without me spending hours doing reading) probably put us in the position where this had to happen?
Agree. But they could also pull the lever called "investment" rather than the lever called "more austerity".We could dispense with a lot of discussion on taxes if we could get the economy working again. If we could increase productivity. And to do that we need to embrace healthy eating, active travel and flexible working. Improving our economy would lead to more income from taxes all by itself.
Have I missed something?Starmer misspoke and it's the end times?

I think they've been pretty awful (notwithstanding the credit given above) - I mean, talk about own goals. He's got an argument for the Arsenal tickets - but the clothing and glasses bit is a joke tbh.
Edit: Ah, of course. Zionist fun. Hadn't seen it. (Didn't bother watching).
No. It's a joke that Starmer takes free clothes and designer glasses. It's fucking grift, plain and simple.Yeah, it is a joke, Waheed Alli has been a Lord since 1998, I think it's fair to suggest that he's somehow buying influence is a bit of a stretch,

Or do you subsidise your neighbours clothing alongside mowing their lawns?
At best it's staggering political naievty. If this was the other side there'd be riots.
Anyway - Labour opposing Tories, but doing the same when their turn comes:
Labour’s benefit fraud crackdown would allow officials to access bank accounts
Proposals will require financial institutions to share data that may help identify scammerswww.theguardian.com
Hilsborough law aside, I don't see much good coming out of Labour...
That's an argument that justifies corruption. And it's for a party that's just getting started.lol, the corruption from the Tories pales....
I actually agree with them. Means-tested benefits? Get the extra cash.They deserve more time as any new government does no matter the colour, although I do feel the Winter fuel payment was a bad hill to die on at this stage.

The Tories had years to get their corruption going. And lest you remember the last time we had a Labour government - we were taken into illegal wars under false pretenses.
Labour is no different to the Tories. Not in any material way.

If not, there's a billion quid better spent on the NHS.
Wasn't it a leak that's a part of the autumn budget?Yes but that isn't really what they did, since they did no impact report thus had no idea about the factors involved with such a change, in fact the biggest issue is they should of sorted pension credits first but they stuck the cart before the horse.
Labour doesn't invite world's richest person to their investment forum because they don't like his opinions.
Elon Musk hits back after being shunned from UK summit
There is concern about his social media posts about the UK during last month’s riots, the BBC understands.www.bbc.co.uk
I mean, we're still selling weapons to Israel, who are committing genocide and threatening wider regional war, but we won't take money off a cunt because we 'don't like what he says'.
So what?No because he is a lying, conspiracy nut, etc. which he proved again with his reply.
Yes, and that's completely their right to do so. They didn't invite Putin or paedophiles either. You could also argue Musk has done more harm to the world than Israel has.Labour doesn't invite world's richest person to their investment forum because they don't like his opinions.
