Reeves consulting "Abrdn, BlackRock, Citi, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Schroders".

When will she talk to representatives of pensioners, children, "left behind" communities?

Reeves doesn't care at all about pensioners etc. She loves non-doms though. That's the only group she listened to since she came to power. Says everything. #FakeLabour

Can someone explain like I’m five how blackrock investing in uk corporations does Anything except raise the prices for us peasants

All this does is make corporations bend the knee to billionaires

How does this help the country & not just fcking billionaires

As if they know anything about value creation. All they know about is value extraction.

This top down nonsense is really starting to get on my last nerve!

cps10001.bsky.social•2 days ago

She is a tory.

She only seems to look after the rich and companies. Her behaviour is gifting the far right votes, and people will say we voted Labour, and they looked after the rich.

When they said "government of service", I naively believed they aimed to serve the electorate.

Meeting with the only constituency Labour vales. Wealth.

secretivenerd.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nah bad idea. Building data centres is the only option.

geoffb7.bsky.social•3 days ago

Power has gone to her head . She’s now just another pig at the trough .

welshtractor.bsky.social•3 days ago

The sooner she is out of post the better for the Whig the UK.

pearson26.bsky.social•3 days ago

To be fair she took on board the concerns of the 'non-dom community' about being taxed too heavily🤮🤮

If every small business in the UK could afford to take on 1 more employee the effect on UK growth would be transformational. Reeves needs to focus on sustainable community based growth not wooing international investors who only want to hear about grants, low regulation and tax breaks

She may as well change her surname to Truss… 😣

chrisguiton.bsky.social•3 days ago

Reeves is utterly bereft of ideas. Doubling down on a failed strategy simply isn't going to work. What talking to BlackRock etc will do is gift public assets and infrastructure to investment banks and funds greedily eying the opportunity to grow their profits in a rehashed version of PFI.

sylvia-suffragette.bsky.social•3 days ago

She ‘listened’ to the Non-Doms, maybe she believes their’s is the voice of the people 🤔

Even Warren Buffett wants a wealth tax! https://youtu.be/jZNbdEQIhOM?si=EOv9Lnohtm8vuHix

It's a dark time

The UK is already vulnerable and been sold since thatcher.

This govt for some reason continue these dangerous relations. Freeports, privatisation, ruthless corps like Blackrock......why?

sirkidstarversucks.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is she trying to replicate Musk?

paulbriley.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's the small businesses that are the backbone of the UK economy. So why Labour's slavish chasing of huge multinationals when these behemoth's are only interested in their own profits?

lilithblackmage.co.uk•3 days ago

The answer is quite simple, small businesses don’t donate millions to the party, take them to fancy dinners or AstroTurf ideas through think tanks for them

paulbriley.bsky.social•3 days ago

We all know that including the Labour Party. But Labour leaders don't give a shit!

nicholaswrb.bsky.social•3 days ago

When will they consult society? People are going to get angry when they suss them out.

gillmh.bsky.social•3 days ago

There's a reshuffle coming up, I'm hoping she'll be moved on. Core Labour voters have lost confidence in Reeves.

hotchkiss13.bsky.social•3 days ago

I hope you are right but I don’t see significant policy changes under KS.

gillmh.bsky.social•3 days ago

The situation in America might give him pause for thought. Pandering to the right has done him no favours in the opinion polls.

hotchkiss13.bsky.social•3 days ago

Again I hope you re right. I’ve got zero faith in the man. And as the world faces whatever Trump driven crisis is next we need better.

gillmh.bsky.social•3 days ago

I want to be right, but will probably be disappointed again.

birdswing.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sadly I feel you will be disappointed project Starmer has never been anything other than a lie

flago2009.bsky.social•3 days ago

That would be quite a reshuffle after less than 9 months of government - better than Javid's 6 months with Johnson, though.

gillmh.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've read that Lisa Nandy's being considered for the chop. Reeves has put too many Labour MPs' backs up. The Growth mantra is probably wearing a bit thin.

bobcol.bsky.social•3 days ago

I understand why everyone thinks she’s there to stitch up the poor, but maybe she’s just going round them all to ask for a job?

Oh hold on, it’d be a 2nd job. What was I thinking, duh
