Off Topic Starmer/ Reeves: last man standing

Just read this. Basically says pensioners incomes have gone up but the lowest income pensioners less so so better that more goes there., but all obviously affected by the cost of living / fuel prices etc. Sorting the fuel costs seems a priority which I’d say is a good argument for green energy

Some good points and we need to remember which party brought the winter fuel payments in in the first place. The ‘bastards’ for one of our posters.

 

Need more nuclear, less green.

 

Aye the same party the Deputy prime minister stole £40,000 off pensioners to line her nest.
The same party this poster arse licks daily.

 

Why do chancellors think they are some sort of superhero? They all suffer from some sort of ego it seems to me.

Reeves saying she will defy forecasts, not accept them. Why does she think she knows better I wonder? If she wont account for organisations like the OBR, she may as put on a pair of ear defenders and shout la la la as someone else reads her budget out. Mind you, so should many other chancellors of recent times.

I think most people accept the country is in a state. The world is in a state. Time for some honest politics. Raise taxes for everybody in an equitable manner. Income tax rise for every worker. Dont fall into the trap of hammering the top 10%, they already pay 50% of income tax. Everybody needs to find a bit to give.

We are already considered an unwelcoming country for growth and wealth creators, lets not make it worse by policies on the margins that are popular but long term cause harm. Create tax opportunities for high wealth organisations and individuals that will invest in growth. Far more tax income will flow that way.

Focus on the right growth areas too. Don't chase the unicorn tech companies, who are already courted by silicone valley. Make it appealing for them to stay and grow here. Look at Amazon and how their business model is changing so very quickly, we need an infrastructure that enables this new world. Build buils build data centres at a pace unseen before, without the red tape we put in the way. Build all the infrastructure needed to make the stuff tech future will require. This will generate growth. Take a lssson from Covid, we had the expertise in the UK to develop and manufacfure the jab, and we got it into out arms faster as a result. We need the similar infrastructure and expertise to get ahead of the AI race (as much as on a personal level I dislike AI).

 

Chancellors are like football managers ..

… so many people analyse every word so they have to put on an act to try to calm them down.

 

Or the Tory party? Mone stole £220m from all of us. Jenerick fiddling £45m for his mates or Hancock getting contracts for his pub landlord? Or the grifter Farage who stole a living from the EU and now the people of Clacton?

Raynor needs to learn off the experts.

Plenty have benefited from the wfa which would have never happened because of the ‘bastard’ Labour Party.

arse lick? Are you 6 year old ffs?

 

A good mix of the two is common sense in the current climate.

 

lol, coming from someone who lives 24/7 on here telling everyone not to vote for Farage, when nobody on here gives a toss about him.
Obsessed ffs, worse than a mag.

 

Just as obsessed as those slagging off Labour 24/7 then?

Labour are far from perfect but compared to the person you highlight they are saints.

Enjoy your WFA. Well done Labour.

 

He’s not in my head 24/7 just yours, you’re the only one who can’t see it You aren’t related to Rachel Reeves are you

 

Perhaps an iq of 6? ;-) I just don’t like racist grifters and as for Reeves, given the absolute clusterfk she was handed by the last government, I wouldn’t want her job for love nor money.

My pension is doung extremely well so given the Truss premiership Rach cant be doing that badly.

 

24/7

 

Who’s responding 24/7?

 

At least you admit it.

 

You are obsessed with my obsession definitely.

I really dislike Farage and not afraid to say so. If on a message board I share views and you class that as an obsession fair enough. Some irony if you do given you respond constantly.

The reason I post on here is I love Sunderland AFC and through coming to the city for now 50 plus years I love the city and I’m delighted at the fantastic regeneration taking place. Sadly this will all be put at risk if people are daft enough to vote for a racist grifter who couldn’t give a flying fck about working class people in our area. Sadly those on low income will suffer the most if he he ever gets the chance to dismantle our nhs and public services.

 

Which Party does give “ a flying fcuk about working class people “ ?

 

Do the left go on specialist zoom calls or courses to find the lowest denominator for every topic if Sunderland votes anyone but Labour, all good work by council will be undone, NHS. Look for the worst outcome USA the enemy now let's look at the worst part of it and claim that will happen here when Labour get voted out. I brought up how unproductive this country is especially the civil service, and we need massive improvements including job losses, you and your mates come back with utter rubbish about slave Labour going back to Victorian workhouse etc trying to look clever and scare people.
