The Labour Government

Using a pseudonym isn't fraud, blagging the qualifications and experience on your CV to become Chancellor of the Exchequer is.

Expect full blown whatafuckwittery at any time.

Fortunately her incompetence will soon remove her from her position, although she should already be out due to her dishonesty.

Where were you with this analysis the last 14 years of government?

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Sorry 0.1% isn't anything like good news

Living standards have actually fallen if you allow for the population growth according to the taxpayers alliance.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Politicians tell lies, well there's a surprise. They all do sadly. We shouldn't be surprised that the Chancellor does.

Taxpayers alliance sounds a bit shady. Is it one of those murky think tanks?

14 going 15 years without a pay rise to match inflation can't have helped. Shit state of affairs.

Check them out, they are independent and have done alot of good in getting governments to be more accountable. The BBC have also just repeated that claim by the way.

Yes it is. 55 Tufton Street. Never once complained when the Tories were pissing money up the wall.

Did they speak out on that sham Rwanda thing that cost millions ?

Obviously no connections with the group Migration Watch UK that share the office space. :)

It's where we are at, 0.1% is now a positive, lies are accepted because politicians lie all.the time.

Or people just adapt their views to their side:-)

Yeah Rwanda turned out really well ..........safe as fuck eh

They did actually, all the time, but don't let the truth get in the way.

I assume he's talking about Labour "loosening" immigration controls.

It's factually correct that immigration was over 1m for a couple of years recently, and that net migration towards the end of the last Tory government was near to 1m - almost 3 times the average of the last twenty years.

However, that was a deliberate policy of the Tory party, with the majority of people coming in either students, or to work in social/medical care. Both sectors were struggling with Covid and Brexit happening around the same time, and clearly they decided that a reset was needed. The Tories had already begun to lower those figures, and it's likely they'll fall pretty quickly to nearer that long term average. The Office for National Statistics is predicting that net migration will fall drastically, to around that long term average, by the middle of this Parliament.

If you're suggesting the opposite. That Labour have loosened things further, and we're going to see net migration going up instead of down, then you'll need to explain why.

I assumed the 'horseshit' was the factually correct stuff about the more than million people coming over but if he thinks it's horseshit that Labour have loosened immigration controls, amongst other things, the Labour Gov have announced:

1. a widening of the asylum scheme in Afghanistan to make it easier for more Afghani asylum seekers to come to the UK (can't imagine what could go wrong there...turns news over)
2. the lowering of the minimum salary restriction that the previous Gov had set at £37000 to £29000
3. the scrapping of the Rwanda deterrent which led to a surge in small boat crossings straight after Labour got into power

Net migration should fall from the ridiculously high numbers of the previous gov't because of the actions the previous gov't took just before they left office but that doesn't mean Labour haven't loosened border controls (if there's any left!) since they've come to power.

Have you tried coming up with a workable solution to anything or are you like a few others in here who are professional moaners?

Isn't Tufton Street the same place responsible for Liz Truss's madness?

Responding to Liz Truss’s Conservative Party conference speech, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: “The prime minister was right to give both barrels to the enemies of enterprise. To go for growth, Britain has to break free from the shackles of our gruelling tax...

Can we trust Trussonomics?

without a serious programme of savings and efficiencies, the cost of government crisis will continue to bite long into the future.

Living standards ha
ve actually fallen if you allow for the population growth according to

the taxpayers alliance.

You mean the Tories let in a million immigrants with barely any effect on "living standards"?

It's not living standards anyway, it's per capita GDP. That suggests most of the immigrants must be "contributors" and it's all us old folk living so long that's the drag on growth.

Yes, the last lot had an open borders policy and it's living standards. And no that argument does not stack up. If immigrants were contributing more than they take out the GDP ler person would go up not down.

Governments? I'm very surprised you haven't heard of them.
