the bus is being fueled up, as we speak, I have a feeling somebody will be under it shortly.

What was plain for everyone to see is what an emotionless cold individual Starmer actually is. As much as I detest Labour and everything they have done, I took the time to watch PMQ’s on you tube after work and any man with an ounce of feeling would have at least showed her a bit of support. Rayner sat there with a face like stone, definitely something amiss, as the markets very quickly picked up on too. I think you are spot on in regards her future prospects.

Labour largely came to power due to votes from benefit claimants and now the tail is wagging the dog. Personally I dont find my level of tax to be that bad. How can they plug the hole without more borrowing at currently quite high long rates? Benefits was the obvious one to cut, disability a thorny issue - how to show compassion without making it unaffordable.

We also spend a fortune on care homes for the elderly, government paying for those with insufficient funds and those whose money runs out while in care. Its fine to spend it on the elderly and disabled if we can stomach more tax. 

Because of this latest setback Labour surely cant scrap the 2 child benefit cap.

If Reform get in they will have to harvest the migrant organs and fly them overseas on ice to pay the bills

how much money  could be saved by not  putting thousands upon thousands of people who have never contributed in this country, and likely never will, in luxury hotels at the taxpayers expense

old people in care homes in almost every case will have contributed most of their working life, everyone gets old including illegal immigrants, how will their care be funded?

organ harvesting,,, interesting idea, at least there will be a good supply of doctors and surgeons to wield the scalpels, I'm sure I heard somebody say they were arriving by the boatload.

It's good to have options. I don't think they will get many votes, but there's no left wing parties at the moment.
