"The party’s shift toward an increasingly pro-business policy platform over the last 2 years has coincided with a huge influx of money from international banks, professional services firms, consultancies & financiers"

Policy by donor.

Pro-banking policies and behaviours certainly

I don't think labour are pro business. The latest business confidence survey is dire.

So dire, even Alastair Campbel felt compelled to mention it.

Me too. She has no idea what to do with the economy and no insight into why the Tories lost the elections. Just wants to follow in their footsteps. She did mention that she was a Thatcherite before elections. The worrying thing are the free ports etc. too. No one is taking any notice of it.

Indeed. She seems to only be interested in protecting investment bankers and not ordinary people.

Rachel and the rest of Labour are the Neo-conservatives

Just when we need to explore Keynesian opportunities, we have a government that is following the failed fiscal policies and monetarism of the Chicago school.

Reeves will not achieve growth by following Liz Truss down into the spending cut rabbit hole 🕳️🐇

To be quite honest he woman disgusts me Brian. There is something plastic, soulless & disingenuous behind that mask. I see it in others on that front bench also. I trust none of them not on either side of the front benches.

I'm not surprised in the least. She took money off pensioners so that she could give it to the bankers
