The Labour Government

[Chippy_boy]

Half of the £22 billion is down to public sector pay rises that were recommended by Independent pay review bodies (set up by the Government to advise on the pay increase that public workers need / should get) . If only the Tories had honoured this ...

We'd have got wrong sooner.

You've obviously never come across the concept of only being able to spend what you can afford.

Is that on top of the 3B per year already pledged? Thought we were skint? Does Slasher Reeves know about this?

Money well spent

Let's all be honest here, taking away winter fuel payments for pensioners is a shit trick, there is no other way to categorise this action. Punishing Labour MPs who abstained or voted against the change is just wrong.

Also in other news, Labour sign the death knell for new steel production in the UK. A sad day indeed. I would have preferred nationalisation and steel import duties, now we will be reliant on other countries for new steel production. All done under the guise of reducing green house gas emissions. Which is utter nonsense when we will now have to import new steel made in blast furnaces from other countries.

Ed Sillyband with his idiotic, let's cripple the economy to reduce WW CO2 emissions by 1%, is the most dangerous **** of the lot.

I think that it's part of the £3bn. Announcing it the day after the vote is a cunts trick though.

Blinken is in town applying pressure over the partial suspension of weapons licences so I suppose they had to come up with some kind of positive spin. Some 'optics' matter more than others ....

No, they hit everyone inc pensioners by allowing the country to go to rat shit and having no idea how to turn it around

They were cunts. As I've said in other posts labour using that as an excuse to be cunts to pensioners doesn't make it right.

Tata is actually Indian owned not Chineese, you could at least get the basics right?

Nationalise the Port Talbot facility when Tata walks away without a penny of tax payer subsidy. Then bring in steel import tariffs to level the field.

I thought it was obvious, why did you not understand that from my initial post?

Please keep up

Except queues at supermarkets, they can be blamed for them. Never find owt when they get to the till. Not that they’ll be able to afford to go to the supermarket anymore, might go for a bit of warmth

Have you been in a supermarket lately? Fucking freezing with all those chillers.

Losing £200 wfa = bad Labour.
Losing £169.50 free TV licence = good Tory.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Steel production surely has to be of national critical importance. Both governments has stated this in the past. Now it's just been binned. What's nearly as annoying is the complete lack of understanding of what we are actually losing when this is being reported by the likes of the BBC and the other national media organisations.
