The Labour Government

Your response conspicuously avoids answering the question-presumably because the answer is ‘yes’.

The BBC strapline on their report to qualify his latest uplifting call to arms. Reminds me of a reversal of the local authority approved words list - "our system is does not require 'improvement' only 'enhancement'. If their starting point is zero anything is better but nothing will do just fine if everyone is told getting to zero is a wonderful achievement.

Presumably they’ve caved in to a few more unions, so they need to push through some more tax hikes, hence the fabricated fiscal black hole needs to be bigger.

His speech will also be a nice little distraction from the attention his cronyism is starting to attract.

Guess you would have been delighted with all the public service strikes continuing then

Water is wet Keith you insightful bore, anyhow what we would like to know is who will be carrying the load(cold pensioners we know about). I'm guessing we will have to wait for Ray Reeves budget speech for that.

I'm not sure ralk of hard times is particularly helpful when the patty have been promising growth but I'm not gonna knock someone for telling the truth.

It will lead to people being cautious with their money though. I can only guess Austerity 2.0 isn't gonna be minimal and they are trying to limit the reaction to tax hikes and public sector cuts.

The Tories wouldn't do such a thing like give out COVID contracts to their pals as they are bastions of fair play and decency.

I love how words like "unions" trigger Tory bastards.
 
I think Kamala Harris said the Democrats in the USA were going to concentrate on the middle classes (who tend to vote). It's looking like Labour have decided the same here. Probably a good political strategy but hardly useful for the working class who appear friendless politically. I'm no fan at all of Jeremy Corbyn and the hard left but, credit where credit is due, they do not appear to support Labour's austerity any more than the Tories austerity.

Blindingly obvious to everyone except selfish pricks who were happy to see our public services and sectors neglected of investment if it meant they could shovel away more of their "hard-earned".

Even if public spending doesn’t increase they need to go up. Demographics and Covid dictate it as such.

No point engaging with you on this topic if you’re only going to respond with non-sequiturs.

My agreement with your proposition is admittedly enthymematic but what follows is an expression of surprise that Labour's effort at increasing the tax burden starts by cutting cold weather payments to old people. Do you follow that?
