The Labour Government

Good news!

Question for you, why do we have to fly these people out. The Oriah are just putting them on Ferries back to the UK without any processing of asylum claims. Why doesn't the UK just do the same and return the illegal boat crossing people back to France.

There it is ....... The ''Labour can't even deport people properly'' post.


Admit it ..... there is nothing that Labour can do right in your eyes.

The strikes were costing the economy billions every time - the Tories wouldn’t even sit around the table to try and resolve the dispute. Disgraceful. Thankfully Labour come in and sorted that out as always.

And unless you think the Tories weren't going to agree any pay rises, the cost of the rises is only the difference between what would have had to be paid. Maybe the Tories did think running down public services was a good thing.

The "black hole" may work as an excuse for the NI tax rise. The Tories were still quoting "there's no money left" 14 years later, but there's never any money left unless the government hasn't spent some of what it's borrowed.

I judge these things by my local Italian restaurant. Even when it's full, the owner says look how many staff are on. He's not been having a go at me yet about the NI.... but most businesses are not labour intensive. As a rough guide the "labour share" of the economy means the NI increase will add half a percent to company costs. The supermarkets are making more than that by keeping the same mark up on food where prices have risen.

It appears as part of Reeves's spending review that departments will submit their plans for scrutiny by a panel of experts from the private sector including from the banking sector. I'm sure we'll all sleep better at night knowing that those paragons of fiscal virtue will be providing the value of their wisdom and oversight.

I think this is just common sense. If you make a change you usually want to see a positive outcome and often you are so invested in that change that you cannot see any negatives at all. The negatives need to be pointed out and usually there will be negatives for somebody.
 
I just wanted to say what a good job Labour are doing, nice to have some serious, capable and professional types running the country instead of the Tory freak show.

The cost of providing 24 hour protection to living former Prime Ministers has increased to unheard of levels thanks to the number of useless tosser PM's the Tories worked their way through in the last Parliament.

UK Taxpayers now get to enjoy paying for Liz Truss to have 24 hour close protection for rest of her life as she flies around the World spouting her right-wing conspiracy nut-job nonsense to anyone that will listen.

well its a good thing they have done to try and get the numbers down. I mean the absolute madness of it was all those running around yelling stop the boats couldn't also bring themselves to tell you that without making all these agreements they were doing the people smuggling across the Channel was not illegal. Smuggling people from say Greece to Dortmund was but not across the Channel. And they couldn't tell you that because then they would have to tell you the reason thats the case. Its about a word that starts with the letter B - these is another thread about on here ............

Looks like the 2.8% pay recommendation for the Nurses/Teachers etc isn’t going down well. With inflation predicted to be 2.6% next year, I’m not sure it’s that bad!

Government recommends 2.8% pay rise for public sector workers

Teachers, NHS staff and senior civil servants are among those covered by the proposals.

When junior doctors are getting 20%-plus pay rises, and the Chancellor describes the sums involved as a ‘drop in the ocean’, then it’s hardly a surprise when nurses question why they’re only receiving 2.8%.

Highly predictable, I would say.

Nurses “rejected” the 5.5% this year as being enough so yes it’s bad. The RCN have described this £2 a day increase as deeply offensive. JDs said they’d strike again if the pay for next year didn’t meet their expectations. The nurses will walk out 100% next year if this is what they are given.

Still I’m sure the spin doctors will add “stood up to union pressure” on the “what Labour have done” list when they walk out.
