Off Topic Starmer/ Reeves: last man standing

I thought that this thread was all about the Labour dream team
Hopefully Rachel does not announce this next week

 

Massive numbers of young people unemployed. It is a national tragedy unfurling.

Reeves is meant to tackle this in her budget. We need strong policies for our young people to have a chance. I have high hopes Labour get this part of their jigsaw. I hope I am right. Would be nice to give hope to our kids somehow.

 

You can’t tackle years of neglect of young people in a budget to be fair. I hope they announce that there is support not simpleton punishment approaches. Farage’s answer to this dire problem is pay them less.

 

Are you voting for him?

 

Obvs

 

There’s far too many not willing to work.

 

Covid affected loads of young people's self confidence and communication skills, my son included. We are all praying that once he finishes college he can find employment that he likes and pays enough.

 

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been put under further pressure over the state of the nation’s finances ahead of next week’s Budget as the latest official figures showed higher-than-expected government borrowing last month.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said public sector borrowing stood at £17.4 billion last month, £1.8 billion lower than a year ago but the third highest level for October since records began.

The figure was more than the £15 billion expected by most economists and higher than the £14.4 billion forecast in March by the UK’s independent fiscal watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).

 

Ex labour MP switches to green party. Claims Labour leaving millions behind.

Not a big story in isolation. But the new lad at the Greens, who I originally thought to be a bit of a dafty, seems to be turning a few labour heads. Interesting to watch. We know nobody is defecting to the tory mess unless they completely change leadership and tone. Liberals sitting on a decent base of power but have such lowly aspirations. Will the new found voice of the greens make headway. At least they have clarity which none of the others have. They arent for me though.

 

Tax everything that's what I say oh wait they already are you will have nothing and be happy.

 

Why they’re taxing the wrong people

The only thing worse would be Reform or the Tories removing much needed services

 

The party that was elected on the promise of not raising taxes and then does the exact opposite and fails to tax the very richest in society.
Democracy is dead

 

Maybe this version of Labour are. Some parties are saying they’ll put them up, some are saying they’ll take important services away at a time when many in society need them, probably society itself to rebuild connection and resilience.. Some are honest. Those on high wages with a few spare quid squirrelled away back the service removers and sadly they own the media. Until we remove this power through taxation and make the government stronger we stay on this downward spiral. Labour should have had the balls to say it.

 

They have to get in first, which looks highly likely if you look on Facebook, probably about 20 pro Reform to every one pro Labour.

 

Me too!

 

I’m not sure if it’ll matter to the vote in real life but removing the two child cap will help a lot of the poorest people and I see as at least one positive from the budget

 

Burnham, Raynor, Milliband and Streeting would all beat Starmer in a leadership contest. According to a poll of labour members.

Would you prefer any of them? Looks slim pickings to me.

 

They are political colossus’s compared to the alternatives the grifter Nigel Farage and Badenoch.

One last dance for Johnson to kill the remaining pensioners or Truss t finish off knacking our pensions perhaps?

 

Why should people get money for knocking kids out?
Another fee tax payers have to stump up.
Yes people who need it should get it.
But how about absent parents who are not paying towards there children's upbringing these people should be tracked down first.
So is it right someone who knocks out 3 kids and upwards could end up with more money than someone working full-time.
It needs to be capped which it is at present.

 

So you dont have an answer. Fair enough. As you are quick to tell others on the Farage thread they shouldnt post about Starmer. Try practicing what you preach.
