How are Labour doing after their first 12 months


  • Total voters

@Gessa has already clearly highlighted why there is a shortage in the NHS, it's because we exploited the people that worked in it. Not a single person here would work a nurses shift, which is why I made sure I personally thanked nurses for my care and respected them at all times.

Hence we rely on migration because we take the piss and some migrants are prepared to be exploited for the hours.

Our nurses were overworked and exhausted. Because like Gessa said it was all about saving money - if you want a proper functioning NHS, and people that progress through our own educational system, we have to stop taking the piss.
We did the same in farm labour, exploited people hence migrants doing the work, because no Brit could afford to do it for what was on offer any longer, all to keep the prices down in supermarkets. Hence when the migrants disappeared, prices rise. We have a choice guys, you either pay for it, or have slave labour.

That's not saying there is not a Labour shortage because there is, it's a fine balance.
 
Minimum wage is destroying hospitality, why because people don't want to pay the inflated prices for eating and drinking out, but we expect a minimum wage to be good, it's like stabbing ourselves. <laugh>

There's a 100k workforce shortage in the NHS. And Nurses do an incredible job, under the extra pressure of these shortfalls

Maybe if people like @Sucky paid their taxes we could afford to pay them properly <whistle>

So in summary for Sucky, it's slaves or decent wages, which we will all have to pay for.

The other issues in hospitality are the massive increases in food prices, utilities, pension and NI contributions etc.

The cost of producing ingredients has gone up, due to some of the same factors, so those costs get passed on to the pubs and restaurants, which in turn get passed on to the customer.

You have to pay people a decent wage to work these jobs, especially if they in turn are expected to pay their bills, which have gone up too.

There's an issue here locally, in St Ives. A lot of the place is now high end restaurants catering to wealthy tourists who pay top dollar for accommodation etc and expect high end eateries etc. But the cost of renting in St Ives is way beyond what most local people who would do these jobs can afford. So the restaurants just can't find the staff.

Same with all copy & paste and Twatter bullshit - shouldn't be fooling anyone - unfortunately there is a preponderance of mugs in our society...

You can't even dispute the percentage of prisoners being muslim

As of March 31, 2024, 18.2% (15,909) of the prison population in England and Wales identified as Muslim, according to the HMPPS Offender Equalities Report 2023/24.

You either copy and paste that or like @Sucky you just pull a figure out of your arse and claim it's the majority of prisoners.
 
What I will caveat that with, is that Muslims are over represented in Prisons, according to the percentage of the population as a whole.

There's a variety of reasons for that.

Key factors contributing to this overrepresentation include:
  • Socioeconomic Disadvantage: A large proportion of the Muslim population in the UK resides in deprived inner-city areas with high rates of poverty, unemployment, and poor housing, which are known, significant risk factors for crime.
  • Demographic Profile: The Muslim community has a younger age demographic compared to the general population, and young people are statistically more likely to be involved in criminal activity.
  • Systemic Bias and Discrimination: Reports suggest that Islamophobia and negative, often racialized, perceptions of Muslim communities can impact policing and sentencing, leading to higher prosecution rates and longer sentences.
  • Conversions in Prison: A significant number of prisoners convert to Islam while incarcerated, often seeking protection, support, or a sense of community, which contributes to the higher overall numbers.
  • Targeted Policing: There is evidence that Muslim prisoners are more likely to be subjected to the use of force, such as batons or painful restraint techniques, by staff, indicating potential bias within the system.
  • Ineffective Rehabilitation: A lack of culturally specific support and rehabilitation programs within prisons can contribute to higher rates of re-offending among Muslim inmates.
While terrorism convictions are sometimes cited, studies suggest they represent a small minority of the overall Muslim prison population.

And yep, I copied and pasted that....

Doctors arriving as asylum seekers in the UK often face significant hurdles, including legal restrictions on working and the need to requalify through PLAB exams, despite bringing valuable skills and resilience to the NHS. Many overcome these challenges, with support from programs like REACHE, to eventually practice, helping to address staffing shortages while serving diverse communities.
Key aspects of doctors arriving as asylum seekers include:
  • Challenges in Requalification: They must pass English language and medical assessments (PLAB) to work in the UK, a process that can take time and support to navigate.
  • Contribution to the NHS: Many work as GPs, in A&E, or as specialists (e.g., surgeons).
  • Navigating Asylum Limbo: Some are stuck in, or have passed through, asylum accommodation or hotels while waiting for their status to be determined.
  • Advocacy and Support: Organizations, such as the Refugee Council and the British Medical Association (BMA), work to support these professionals.
  • Impact of Policy: Proposed policies like the Rwanda plan have been noted for potentially causing additional distress to these individuals.
For example, Dr. Murhaf, a surgeon from Syria, arrived as an asylum seeker in 2019 and, with support, overcame challenges to work in the NHS. Another case, Dr. Hujjat Ashori from Afghanistan, highlighted the importance of support systems like REACHE in navigating the new healthcare system.

Well, it's ensured Starmer is going I think.

Just want to put it out there on record that this decision by the media, the mouth breathers and the Labour Party wet wipes will be a disaster and Reform absolutely 100% deserve to be elected.
