Keir Starmer at it again..

[Templeton Peck]

Most parties who aren't going to get elected can afford to be idealistic. Cleggs Lib Dems are a cautionary tale in what happens if they get close to power

We're really fucked if anything left of Starmer is 'idealistic'.

When was the last time anyone left of Starmer was in government in this country? We've been a soft right-wing country for as long as I can remember

Go on then, what’s the answer to this one?

Not allowing it to be privatised in the first place!

We waved all this through so willingly.

With water company bills set to rise 26% and their CEOs claiming huge bonuses, Labour's failure to act is surprising - usually when someone doesn't have a leg to stand on they can't wait to take away their benefits...


HIGNFY.

It's happened though...

Bringing the water industry back into public control using the legal framework of special administration. Issuing government bonds to raise money for reinvestment. Cutting down our usage of drinking water (we use it for flushing the toilet, washing the car, watering the garden) by exploring the use of grey water supply.

Yep, but apparently pointing out that the electorate don't vote in their own best interests is bad.

I can agree with that, but I would add, that quiet often, politicians don't act in the best interest of the electorate.

The media are going for people on minimum wage now.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

The minimum wage is too high

Council tax is going up. Train fares are rising. Broadband will cost more, and so will electricity and water. April opens with a blizzard of price rises that will make it far harder for everyone to make ends meet, especially if they are on a low income. The one compensation is that the minimum wage

It's just too difficult to tax the rich though.

Duke of Westminster avoids huge inheritance tax bill using legal loophole

Hugh Grosvenor was the 68th richest person in the world when his father died in 2016 and he inherited his £9billion fortune

It's all absolutely fucked.

 

[sycophantia]

Fucking low paid are a pita, if it's not enough just get a better job.

 

[Del Woppio]

The media are going for people on minimum wage now.

Unreal isn't it. It'll get worse too

 

[Walshes Wolves]

The media are going for people on minimum wage now.

I really think the media are doing the dirty work of those who wish to take off the poor.

 

[Del Woppio]

They're the same people. Maybe not the same individuals, but they're the same people

 

[Walshes Wolves]

They're the same people. Maybe not the same individuals, but they're the same people

Unfortunately, you are right.
