Keir Starmer at it again..

You'd have thought it would've been used hand in hand with the visa policy announced. I know it sounds simplistic but surely you'd want your replacements recruited and trained before you start pouring cement in the existing workforce pool

I feel there is a sleight of hand in the Government's announcement. The amount of visas issued to social care staff was quite significant in the last few years as restrictions had been relaxed by the previous Government. These new restrictions will immediately reduce the overall immigration numbers and yet again it is the most vulnerable who pay the price.

They are wankers of the highest order. They punch down time and time again.
 
It's ok though, voting for Starmer was for the greater good 😥
It still was. Settled the train drivers dispute, introduced the employment bill, put VAT on public school fees, protected tenants with the renters rights bill. All things the Tories wouldn't have done. Unfortunately there's a lot that they would have too, but there IS a difference even if it's not as big as I'd like it to be.

Indirectly he's correct when it comes to 21st century immigration. Without it you don't have Farage or Brexit, without Brexit you don't have the Johnson and post Johnson Conservative government. I appreciate that's not the message though.
They'd have found something else to scapegoat, probably the sick, unemployed and elderly
 
While I agree with the broad thrust of that, it does mean we need to pay more taxes.

When the welfare state was established you would start work at 16, work for 50 years and then die ten years later. 5 years of work to fund each year of retirement.

Nowadays its more typical to start work at 21, retire at 65 and live for 20 years - 2.2 years of work for each year of retirement.

So we can raise the retirement age - and we've seen the shitshow that would cause - or we increase taxes, which is never popular.
Just to add to this.... there are incredible numbers of accountants in the country and so many of them specialize in helping companies to avoid and evade paying tax. It's quite evident that those who can simply do not pay much tax while those of us who are taxed at source have no choice but pay 100%. Tory governments have been passing tax laws with multiple loopholes and 'advantages' for decades. In that time they have also reduced the number of tax inspectors and thoroughly encouraged tax evasion and avoidance through the MSM. It's all about right wing freedoms and reducing the state.
Two inevitable questions:
Who and which organisations are actually paying anywhere near their full tax responsibility?
Who and which organisations are net takers of money from the state?
No wonder we are in a mess.

I would guess you could find a strong correlation by seeing who the donors are to the Torys (and labour now unfortunately)
