The Labour Government

[urban genie]

we see what Nigel and his mob do in 2029.

Maybe the daftest thing written here in a while

the most feckless and lazy are those who have never worked a single day in a real job or been poor , you know, people like Farage and Rice

 

[WRicko]

Not a fan of Reeves but Badenochs vile tirade highlighted why the Tories are and will remain in freefall.

Yet the none political commentators on Sky LBC thought she did amazing. I thought it was the worst response to a budget ever and that’s with all the extra advantage she had with the early release

Yep, time to get the commies in, China are possing it.

If you had been educated in China you would have spelt pissing right

 

[BlueHammer85]

If you’re feckless and lazy today was a good day for you and you’ve got a few more good years coming your way.

For the rest of us suckers who work for a living, we tighten our belts and we see what Nigel and his mob do in 2029.

After 14 years of Tory right wing budgets and a Brexit that boosted our economy, stopped the boats and made us get our country and laws back - you’re hurt by this one budget? Strange. You should be living the life of luxery by now. What happened.

He’s too busy spying and being complicit with Russia .

Reeves can have smack in the chops for my liking.

I thought Sean Connery was dead

He has to blame someone

I think the only people easily fooled will be those who think that even if their income doesn't increase they'll pay more income tax. They'll be fooled by all those saying it's a tax increase.

Whether it's a good idea is another matter.

Sorry no one is falling for that.

 

[threespires]

Appease Russia?
Shut down more services?
Privatise what's left to make his allies richer still?
Kill off a few disabled people?
Dig a hole much bigger than the one we're already in?

Can't wait.

It was aimed at people who say immigration is depressing wages and we should get sick people to go out to work in the fields and care homes. (Not even healthy Brits fancy those jobs.)

No Irish immigration would have meant Britain would have fewer canals, fewer railways.

I was sat there thinking, but surely Vic knows the workhouse poor were in no position to do the work and the Irish were favoured because of their mobility etc etc!

I think I possibly need to take a break from here!

Not really true though, is it?

Workers will still end up paying more tax if their income is frozen or even declines in real terms, so they’ll still be worse off. It’s the whole purpose of freezing thresholds, funnily enough.

Meanwhile, if you’re on benefits, you don’t have to worry about that as Labour will increase them in real terms. Have another couple of kids and you’re really on to a winner.

 

[mancityvstoke]

Reeves should have jumped over to Badenoch and twatted fuck out of her. Badenoch is an abusive Tory cowbag.

Yeah that's me being abusive.

So you mean pensioners, working people on poor wages, the disabled unable to work, people getting help with council tax, anyone getting child benefit, anyone getting free school meals, anyone getting free prescriptions.....need I go on?

If only we weren't upto £90bn a year worse off.

Some common sense. I think I am going mad sometimes when I listen to the two tribes. It seems obvious that we are still stuck in the days of empire with the House of Lords and all the fancy dress. Can’t they see what’s coming down the road. Most Civil Service jobs will be replaced by AI, most legal jobs, most generalist doctors like GPs will go as well as medicine becomes led by genetics. Where is the vision and leadership for a new Uk.

I searched the main manifestoes before the last election, and there was scant mention of AI from the main parties, beyond the usual platitudes. There was more mention now in the budget, but again it's still couched in terms of 'leading' but showing little appreciation of what lies just round the corner for everyone. Youth unemployment should already be a flashing light, and major companies around the world are announcing huge lay offs and no longer recruiting to any great extent. Meanwhile, none of the established parties appear imaginative enough to set out a radical vision for now, let alone for the next thirty years.

What baffles me about the 2 child limit being changed is why just get rid if it? Surely if they wanted to help while still being prudent they could have just increased it to 3 children.

Spot on. The tribes are still fighting the battles of 60 years ago. The fake narrative from Starmer is we are leading the world on AI. It is a lie. It is just the usual British exceptionalism. We have the worst business infrastructure of any so-called advance nation and a chronic skills shortage. No vision, no leadership, no strategy, No chance.

Oh its £90bn this week, im waiting till its 1 trillion pounds, presumably in the new year:-)

Yeah that's me being abusive.

I think the fact that so many Labour supporters are complaining about Badenoch's speech it suggests that it was very effective and would have gone down very well with her supporters. If the target was Farage or Badenoch or Trump or someone else you do not like would that speech have been ok with you or would you still be complaining it was over the top?

Apparently a new independent report by a US based organisation. Whatever the real figure, I'm sure we all agree it's substantial and would go a considerable way to alleviating our present woes.

Badenoch’s speech went down well with the clowns in the Commons. Oh how they laughed before they adjourned to the subsidised bars and restaurants with their media pals. She has worse leadership skills and even less vision than Starmer. They are taking us all for fools.
