Yes.
Water (Special Measures) bill has already increased powers.
Labour have increased investigations, increased fines, and banned directorās bonuses already.
Theyāre already beginning to tighten the screw

Given where we are itās sensible to tighten regulation to limit dividends, compel investment, and punish bad behaviour.
It will either deliver results directly, or lead to private owners exiting allowing nationalisation at a much lower price.
Fools rush in

Spending Ā£1billion less on agency staff reduces reliance on private sector agencies and is Ā£1billion less of public money for private profitā¦.

Itās a sign of economic common sense.
Tighten regulation to limit dividends, compel investment, and punish bad behaviour.
It will either deliver results directly, or lead to private owners exiting allowing nationalisation at a much lower price.

One of the best ways to defeat Farage is for media types to:
a) promote positive change that Labour are delivering
b) stop promoting speculative nonsense.
comment in response to

For balance.
He is already delivering a massive reduction in spending on agency staff e.g. staff provided by private companiesā¦ā¦

What an interesting questionā¦ someone should investigate to see if there are obvious linksā¦

It should be āfront pageā

Indeed this must surely mean Labour are trying to privatise the NHS somehowā¦.
comment in response to

To be fair.
They have posted an article about it.
But theyāre not promoting it on the main pageā¦ not for me at leastā¦.

I probably shouldnāt have engaged to the extent I did.
Clearly here to push to agenda as unable to accept basic facts!

The information agrees with me.
The majority of polls shows a majority AGAINST independence.
I have no issue with this information.
You seem to be projecting

I have no issue with any independence.
I have an issue with misinformation.

Trying to move onto the person making the argument is a very clear sign that your argument has fallen apartā¦.

You didnāt post the āwrong pollā.
There is no āwrong pollā.
The point was that the majority of polls show a clear majority against independence.
You just helped confirm this.
Thank you

You proved yourself wrong when you posted Statista polling showing 54% AGAINST independence

Also lots of costs are front loaded while benefits take longer to materialise.
Take doctors wages. Large upfront cost to above inflation payrises.
In time many positive impacts on the economy e.g. lower waiting lists, better retention, doctors spending more.
This all takes time to cycle through
comment in response to

Also corporation tax and self assessment are paid with a lag of several monthsā¦ so the majority of the effect of the current economy on both of those wonāt be seen in tax receipts until 2026
comment in response to
post
Because things take time to cycle throughā¦. wages are increasing now, but people are still worse off than 5 years agoā¦ people donāt feel better off yet.
They have debts to pay, they want to build up savings etc.
In time the higher disposable incomes will be spent, helping the economy to grow

A lot of words to try and distract from the fact the majority of polling shows a majority against independence.
comment in response to
post
This is from 2019!!!!!
Yes, there have been brief periods when independence has taken a lead in the polls.
These are the exception, and the majority of polls, show the majority consistently saying no to independence.
comment in response to
post
The Statista polling youāve just shared shows a clear majority against independence.
Oh dearā¦.
comment in response to

We can agree that it is for Scotās to decide.
But the majority of polls clearly show the majority of Scots say no to independence.
The majority of polls have shown that for years.

A very fragile narrativeā¦.
comment in response to

I went through a weird period of getting blocked by scotās nationalists who would very aggressively claim the majority backed independence, and immediately blocked me when I provided evidence to the contrary
comment in response to

Theyāre really really really really NOT random thoughā¦.. theyāre incredibly relevant to the OP, and to your response to it.

Survation and YouGov show a majority against independence

Phase 1 was linking buses + trams.
Phase 2 is linking trains to give Manchester a fully integrated transport network like TFL in London.
Itās a revolution in the way transport is being run.
Soon to be rolled out across the country
comment in response to
post
This is from Sept 2024 e.g. 1 year anniversary.
Passenger #ās +5% v previous year
Revenue +Ā£3mil v expectations
Costs 1/3 less per kilometre v previous system
And this is before the tram system was integrated; and tap & go was added
comment in response to
post
Yep.
Itās a hugely positive change, with Manchester running ahead of everyone else and showing what can be achieved.
Laughable to not give credit here
comment in response to

Labour have made changes in pretty much every policy area youāve listed.
Your expectation seems to be they should have done everything, immediately, regardless of cost.
If you were genuinely expecting a unicorn then not surprised youāre disappointed
