The Labour Government

When Labour did try to control the narrative, they were accused of being doom mongers and talking the country down. It's staggering that we want our politicians to be honest and open, until we don't like what they are saying. There is very little that I can think of that actually works as it should. The problem, of course, is that just chucking cash at much of it is not the solution but root and branch reform is required. But then plenty will moan as it's taking place.

That is a proper RW/Twitter take, could’ve been straight off GBNews.

Basically, they’ve realised that self-governance doesn’t work and are now making it mandatory.

But, you knew that, right?

It wasn’t off GB News though or a right wing take, it’s from the Guardian.

But, you knew that, right?

yep, literally any policy they introduce is met with a tidal wave of anger and outrage and it filters to normal folk pretty quick - bloke at my work last week, never known him to be political was slagging off Starmer for attending the Armistice in France.

It’s also why Starmer isn’t really responding to any of it. He’s got a huge majority and can do pretty much what he likes until the next election, whatever Twitter campaigns there are.

You only have to watch the likes of Sky News to see how it works. They interview a Labour spokesperson, allow them to say what they’re there for before dismissing it and coming out with some tedious question that nobody could answer and then follow it up with some influencer who spins the interview to what Sky News want you to hear. Usually, then followed up with a member of the opposition who then spins it even further.

It’s become the norm as the media turn real issues into political puppets of their choice.

Maybe ...just maybe...... its because some of the ''media'' also own farms such as Dacre previously of the Daily Mail who owns a large farm in Wadhurst, East Sussex,(4700 acres ) and the 17,000-acre (69 km2) Langwell Estate near Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands


He lives in Belgravia London .... so he's hardly getting his hands dirty.

Without doubt. In times of need the media are worrying about millionaire farmers. That is all.

Dacre was known for not even needing to buy new shoes, because he is driven around everywhere.

Pandering to the daily heil.

The biggest benefits cheats are the energy companies and train operating companies using tax money to pay out dividends over providing the service they are paid to do.

Be careful Karen, there is a lot of tory arselickers within the media who are responsible for the negative connotations.

It's all they can do as they have absolutely no alternatives and Kemi isn't going to help either.

For years labour said there would be a windfall tax on the energy companies , have i missed it ? Fucking over pensioners and the sick and disabled is easier i guess

I sometimes think i am the only one they are checking on as they dont seem to be finding the cheats , what are they fucking doing with their time

I’d love to see there go after cash in hand workers , look into more businesses make sure there pay correct tax

Then if people are caught for benefit fraud long hard sentences I’m sure that would cut a lot down

When I retired early, many years ago, the good old Labour Exchange (lol) were on my case from the off. They decided I needed to look for employment immediately. I did mention, they should give more encouragement to those who have never been in a job at all. I suppose it's a bird in the hand.

The old Labour Exchanges disappeared in the 1990s. How old are you? Lol
