May I also recommend "not paying for weapons to ship to a genocidal dictator in Israel" ?

What she really means is there is there isn't enough money you can take away from the poor. Eventually you have no choice but to start making the rich pay.

There may be more choices

Maybe when Reeves wakes up and stops letting herself be bullshitted and bullied by rich old men she may get a clue.

Reeves being the first woman chancellor will be like Thatcher being first woman PM and does she want to be remembered like her? Just a front for nasty old rich men?

Can't risk upsetting the donors

I agree with everything written, but if Labour were to go all-in on progressive policies, then the usual suspects would soon start funding terror disguised as building grass roots resistance. We know what they are capable of and we know they lack the scruples to stay their hand.

If she lived a bazillion years and did a gazillion budgets she’d still not have the rich pay more taxes. She’d just open work houses like every good thatcherite would.

Go left. Hard. Fuck the papers. Fuck what the Tories and Reform say. You'll be in government for two decades. Guaranteed.

Just fix shit and get the rich to pay for it.

They don't want to tax the rich because that's what they are.

They haven't a clue about someone trying to live on minimum wage, or an unemployed person trying to get by on £400 PER MONTH with Universal Credit.

unicornsrockuk.bsky.social•52 days ago

You just know they'd spend £400 on a meal out and a show at the weekend.

Whereas someone who has lost their job is forced to make it last all month.

hleehurley.substack.com•52 days ago

Or you can get the rich to pay for you and only you, and be dumped out at the next election.

It's really that simple.

At this point it's clearly ideology, not economy, driving her choices. If it were economy, there would be no red line over Brexit...

And the rest of us might be able to sleep better too.

Renationalise the utility companies & public transport

The NHS
Student grants
The upkeep of schools
Kept VAT at 8%, current rate is 20% with many more items added

FREE prescriptions for everyone

ETC...

andrea-b-65.bsky.social•52 days ago

F'k starmer too who is also a thatcherite right wing tory moron & as close to Labour socialist values as hitler & stalin

Slapping the energy sector around a bit until they stop price gouging would certainly help the average person as well.

This is like watching a super slow clown car crash. Just tax the super wealthy ffs! And make water public. And tax companies that make billions and pay nothing into the national coffers.
