This has always been the problem for Labour- being leftist doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be some rabid radical, but getting the balance between proper leftist policies and appealing to all the members is near impossible, seemingly. We definitely need a root and branch shake up of the entire political system. Cameron got in on a 12 seat majority, and proceeded to fuck the entire country for decades to come through Brexit. Then, even though everyone could see it was an absolute shit show, there was no way to overturn it. The system is fucked, it’s not Starmer’s fault that it is, but he’s doing fuck all to make me think he’s the man to change it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with the interest rate but not the principle. Would a wealth tax be beneficial long term? We already have mere millionaires leaving the U.K. to avoid tax. I’ve no idea of the overall value but I’d like to see a CBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the government could raise a lot of money though by investigating the billions in dodgy money running through the financial system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s the next proper left leader-in-waiting, if there is one? It'll never happen man, the entire system will burn down anyone who gets anywhere remotely close to power with anything that looks even slightly like a threatening idea to the status quo. Starmer is the best we're going to get, and for my part, the whole lot of them can go hang at this point, I've fully given up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 17051 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 This week I've seen quite a lot of posts on FB of people vandalising the ULEZ camera's. What a country we live in There was a poll done where 61% were in favour of it. I have seen posts where people have taken photos of police speed check vans parked up warning people. Yet if someone tells the police about drug dealers they're grasses. What a fucking fucked up country. It's simple. Don't fucking speed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35488 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Sunak proudly declaring that 95% of schools are safe, I don't think is quite the win that he was hoping for. Just the 5% at risk of collapse then Prime Minister? That's 1,100 schools BTW. Edited September 4, 2023 by Gemmill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t have a mandate to change anything unless he can work out if he stands for something before they publish the manifesto. Proper grey man politics so far.

The problem is he doesn’t realise it’s got next to nowt to do with him and almost everything to do with the Tory economic train wreck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4006 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) He and his mates have no ideas, none. There central message is "we'll grow the economy" but have no response to how because it might involve spending commitments. Bridget yesterday after condemning the state of schools responded about "no magic wand" when asked about funding. It's not fear it's policy.
