I am not a fan - ideology above common sense. The sooner they get booted out the better - not that there is a viable alternative.
The Tory model was seriously flawed and there reckless unfounded spending and wastage is going to hurt whoever is in power. The current UK annual debt interest repayment alone is expected to be 89 billion for the year 24-25. We are fecked and will be a poor country for many, many years, thanks to the overspending of the last 20 years 

I don't see us getting out of it personally..successive government's for many years have nailed the country. The amount of younger folk i see moving abroad seems massive compared to just 10 years since..

Well normally yes, but I think we can safely say they've excelled in this current incarnation.

 

It's like the homer Simpson stone of shame being exchanged for the stone of triumph.

Love 'em. 

Love it Ammo, 14 years of Conservatives milking the country, a few months of Labour and they are all to blame. As for the bollox that is winter fuel allowance for pensioners, virtually all that are just on the limit they can claim it back on tax credits. Fecking sick of hearing this nonsense. No research but plenty to say.

Most old folk will be too proud to go cap in hand and most will not know how to do it. Claiming credits or benefits would feel wrong I suspect. 

 

Those scrounging shits already on it will already know what where when and who on speed dial.....

Proud or going hungry? That is a sad state of affairs, if they are entitled to it they should get it, need help sorting it there are plenty of charities and decent people who will help with it, don’t ask the answer will always be no.

I like Labour more than any of the other major parties. The previous government were hell bent on ruining us all, at least Labour have a different plan. 
 

Of course there were going to be tax rises, it’s that or cuts. Bet the same people up in arms about the rises will be bemoaning nhs services too. You can’t have it all… 

 

Inheritance tax on a tiny minority of ‘farmers’? Great idea. Capital gains tax? Yes please. 

[MattyF]

Problem is the tiny majority of farmers are the ones who should be feeding you , they will have to sell the land or go bankrupt when it’s passed down … who buys the land ? People with more money who won’t farm it.

Amy one would think it’s part of the great DAVOS plan which keir has sworn his allegiance too….

The tax rises arent going to benefit the services, most of the money raised will be swallowed before it ever gets to where it’s needed
