Agree but after only a few months in power it seems Labour are having a bloody good go at it!

Labour proposing to train prison inmates so that they leave with the skills that industry needs and that also gives the ex prisoner a better chance of living without reoffending. Sounds eminently sensible.

This would obviously work as none of these wealthy people would be able to afford top accountants to ensure they don’t pay it.

It would be shocking if the tories were gaining in popularity so soon. However, the poll shows the fragility of labour's landslide and perhaps reflects that their deliberately negative messaging is working against them.

Only true to a point. If tax rises and other other potential actions damage rather than improve the economy then it will be those at on the lowest incomes that will suffer the most, not the richest.

But If the Tories had done this they would have been apoplectic!

Perhaps we just have to accept that all politicians and political parties are incapable, corrupt, clueless, pathological liars and don’t deserve us. Sadly, that means voting for the one that might, just might, be less shit than the last one

Sorry, not quite what I meant. I just find it disturbing how the subject seems to prompt, sometimes vociferous, debate as to whether x view or y person is anti semitic or not in a way that no other form of discrimination or intolerance does or would be considered acceptable. That's not just on...

Gillian Keegan for me - no better!

Cut and paste this from Sky news: Sir Keir Starmer has said "wealth creation" is his top priority in an election pitch to the middle class and middle ground. "The first step of my Labour government will be to create economic stability, which means getting a grip of the spiralling welfare bill...

Mmmm.... The media and political 'experts' said precisely the same thing when Johnson and Co were elected (without the max).

I’m changing my view of Starmer from being thoroughly uninspired to gradually seeing he has a quiet determination to shape labour into a party that will not only win this GE (the easy bit) but future elections. Like Blair, he recognises that Britain is predominantly centrist and that is where...

Nor on a platform of being honest i guess ☹️

You are correct of course but this implies they are lying (which they undoubtedly are in this instance) which therefore means labour is starting where the Tories have left off. I really think most people would vote labour despite promising to raise taxes (or even because of). God politics is...
