The Labour Government

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

What plan would that be then?

Manufacture an imaginary fiscal black hole and cause a slump in confidence, just so they can generate political cover for the removal of the WFA?

Seems to be working pretty well to be fair.

Stop it .... I cant breathe ..... Have you tried stand up ? You're a natural .

freezing pensioners? Adding costs to employers so reducing employment and wages? Spunking money on train drivers who are loaded?

Few bob saved? Yesterday 500 poor soils came in on boats. Let’s say £200 per day to look after them 200 x 500 == £100,000 per day at least that’s quite a few pensioners winter allowance to help them keep warm! After all most of them have paid into the system for up to 50 years?



Thanks in advance to the guys who say we are not talking/ thinking of this on this tread! We should be?

It’s going to get worse before it gets better. At least we have a functioning government now who seem to have a plan.

The jury is still out. Imho there was too much negativity on here when the new gov had hardly sat down, but it’s time for them to get a move on now.

What are you basing this £200 a day fugure on?

Sounds like you are just making it up.

If you think they are getting full board in four star hotels you are mistaken.

The average works out at about £112 a day.

Wasn’t their plan to grow the economy?

Tbh they are bound to make mistakes, all politicians have big egos, which means they won't admit those mistakes. Economies grow when business grow and to grow a business you need to have confidence, and talking down the economy in the run up to the Autumn budget was damaging and naive. It's evident that they have now stopped doing this.

Ripping up the planning system on its own was never ever going to result in 300,000 houses being built each year. We haven't built that many for 50 years and as isn't the skilled trades to do the work as was pointed out this week. Nor the affordable money to let people buy the houses. So that one is just hot air. The demand will continue to increase and housing costs will just go up as immigration has been very high and increased under the last Government and is clearly not at sustainable levels.

It is early days but the Government needs to start looking at the wider linked issues as many problems the country faces are linked through cause and affect. We can only hope they will be able to grow the economy as all the required improvements rest on this.

Ok just thinking about all the other bits and pieces from our kind government as well, plus you still need staff in the hotel?

It's outsourced services.

The cost of accommodation includes staff, if food is supplied then the asylum seekers get a smaller allowance.

When food is included in their accommodation, Asylum seekers get an allowance of £8.86 a week rather than £49.18.

It's no longer a hotel when it becomes asylum seeker accommodation.

You are talking about taking all money away from people who have fled torture, violence and sexual violence and giving it to a group of privileged pensioners.

Does that not strike you as a bit sick?

Growth is an irrelevance. It would be better to see zero growth and actually tackle the numerous problems there are in society.
