Right wing Labour has crushed anyone with actual Labour values since 2019, what we have now is just another vehicle for failed neoliberal ideology.
We had 2 chances to save the UK in 2017 & 2019, British voters chose instead to be eviscerated by global capital and that is what is happening now.

She promised growth, there is no growth, she isn’t good at her job.

And Likud’s constitution calls for the extermination of all Palestinians. Indeed its manifesto calls for Isreal to extend from the sea to the river Jordan. And of course it’s Isreal actually doing the genocide.

Labour are not representing the interests of working people, they are serving up the UK to Blackrock and the corporate class.

Their tax increases on the rich are pretty marginal, the ni increase will simply be loaded on to workers in the form of pay restraint and higher prices. Labour have not really addressed wealth inequality. The workers rights seem to keep getting watered down and they will further privatise the NHS.

Your position on this is that there is a point at which the wealthy will be satisfied, there’s is not. No amount of profit is ever going to be enough, they’ll kick back whatever the point of Labour is that’s not who the should be bothered about, it’s us workers they should represent.

The rich will always seek to punish workers or the poor, that is how they got to be rich. Lower taxes on the rich simply allows them to accrue wealth quicker and means inequality rises faster. There isn’t a way to be good to business enough so they will be good to workers off their own bat.

It’s pretty marginal. She hasn’t done a proper wealth tax or raised corp tax. Businesses will never pass high profits on to workers willingly, that’s why the chancellor should act. Inaction by Reeves will lead to austerity and lower living standards.

It’s Reeves fault because her fiscal rules have put her in a straight jacket. Her ni rise is coming back to bite workers and was only technically not a tax on workers. All this is because she refuses to tax wealth. What we need it a few years of interest rates being below the inflation rate.

Watch the video, Richard explains this very point in it.
