Its not actually anti government is it, its more just common sense or logic if you prefer. Youre having a george thomas performance today mate.
In all seriousness though Ellers, your sense of annoyance, frustration, anger whatever it maybe, over labours energy tax cut is very strange indeed. Surely logic says you should be angry with the people who promised it but fail to deliver it.
In all seriousness Bob I am quite cool about things. On the other hand you seem to be the one posting anti government stuff and defending a flip flop by Labour. I think Goldie’s post says it all.
Nope, im just pointing out a comparison of goldies post. I can quite get on board with someone wanting to help cut my energy bills. I cant quite muster the same energy for someone who promised it then failed to deliver. Im sure even you can understand that.
Cmon col, shes spoken for. I was just making a comparison earlier. I just cant quite understand how some people think. Yeah sure labour wouldnt be able to deliver this if we had stayed in the Eu, i get that. Is it hypocricy, probably yeah. Is it worse than promising to cut this tax and then not doing so. No it isnt in my book. Thats just another bare faced lie.
Is there any money to be skimmed off by the Torys if they do.. that’s usually what drives policy. Either that or they **** themselves
Utterly bizarre that you lot should try to portray this a Labour about-turn. Johnson and Gove trumpeted the potential to remove VAT from energy bills as a Brexit benefit and now they won't do it. You'd think they'd jump at the chance to show a positive Brexit outcome, because there really haven't been any others. Quite the opposite. Just another broken promise.
A small event called a worldwide pandemic intervened. Responsible government has to assess this, and be held to economic account. Shameless opportunists like Starmer are answerable to nobody. He can climb down from his fence, carry out a massive policy U turn (massive, given that he was Mr Second Referendum) and then climb back up again.
If Boris continues to ignore the impact of horrendously rising energy bills it will be his downfall imo.
Plenty of positive Brexit outcomes and your project fear myth is falling to bits. You will have a choice soon… you can either vote for Captain Isolate or Jezza the anti-Semite. I will stick to the lot getting on with the job and not the ones playing opportunistic politics. Jezza and new leftie party…
Goldie I don’t know if you remember but a few months ago you mentioned In a post about a future split in Labour. It would appear that Steptoe is going to create his own party. Do you think many will join and this will be the end of Captain Insulate or will Jezza crash like he did at the last election?
EXCL: Email obtained by @itvnews proves over 100 staff were invited to drinks party in No 10 garden at height of lockdown to “make the most of the lovely weather”. We’re told PM and his wife attended, with staff invited to “bring your own booze!” Oh dear
Isn’t it weird all the childish nicknames in politics. Maybe to appeal to people with playground mentality?
I was listening to an economist on the wireless whilst having a lunchtime stroll today. He was saying that all the ire directed at the O&G sector for increasing prices is ill-placed. Apparently, their profit in all this is a mere 10% of the slice that the Govt takes. If true, that’s pretty shocking. He was also saying that there is so much the Govt could do to alleviate the inflationary burden on your average Joe, particularly given the new found freedom of Brexit and the ability to strike free trade agreements wherever. As a daft example, we could lift duty of bananas - he logically argued why not on the basis that there isn’t a UK banana industry to protect.
