Off Topic Starmer/ Reeves: last man standing

You live in an imaginary internet world of buzz words I'm afraid. All I've done for you is present basic, economic facts. Which, by the way, all the world must adhere to.

 

The facts are money has gone upwards and it needs pulling back down. Prove my imaginative thinking wrong.

 

I've always been Labour and I'm a party member. Always thought it would get worse before it got better but it's becoming a bit ridiculous now.

The promise not to increase taxes was a stupid pledge to make, but going after pensions might be the final straw in my membership. People have worked bloody hard to build up a pension pot to support them when they retire. If they bring in this £2k max contribution before having to pay national insurance I'll be stopping my pension contributions and sticking the equivalent in an ISA or something similar.

 

Lifelong Labour voter here also 40+ years. First the WFA, then mandatory digital id to spy on innocent members of the public, now this. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Starmer is handing the keys to power to the vile Farage on a plate.

 

A big part of having to rise taxes is the welfare benefits cost, which is rising steeply. Starmer/Reeves chickened out when Labour MPs refused to back it. The fowl is coming home to roost.

Other countries are in a similar fix. You get elected by giving benefits away, you get voted out by taking them away.

France has a bigger problem than the UK with its state pension benefits... which it can't afford.

Perhaps if Starmer said back the welfare cuts, or I will call a general election?

Atm f agash/deform would walk a GE and a lot of labour MPs would lose their seats
