Current Affairs The Labour Party

[davek]

weren't you calling labour the new tories? make yer mind up will yer!

Nu-Tory, Tory-lite.

Take your pick.

 

[davek]

How?

Increase the privatisation of public services especially the NHS - which they've indicated they'll do, as they have with local authorities.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Yes. My point is that people are deserting the Tories in swathes but there's not a desire to flock to Starmer's party.

They are uninspiring. There's no question about that. Its a case now of anyone but the Tories.

nu-tory, tory-lite, take yer pick so long as it's neither?

You on the Friday afternoon scotch?

….moot point. Conservatives want smaller Government, Labour want to invest in public services. I’d say they are centre left.

They're not committing to any extra public service spending though.

I've heard about british energy, wrestling control of the train networks (somehow) and getting the nhs back on it's feet.
Can you point out these instances of selling public services further down the river please?

[Thomasc]

With respect: that's fantasy.

He's handed assurances to corporate Britain there'll be no such changes. That's how the media are soft peddling on him and his party.

With respect, you don’t know if it’s fantasy.

"Labour will make the hard choices that are needed to resuscitate it".

Many thanks

What do the Manchurian Candidate's new mates on here think of him handing interviews to the S*n...

 

[Eggs]

They're not committing to any extra public service spending though.

….more monies to reduce NHS waiting lists, more monies in specific areas such as midwifery, more monies to recover NHS dentistry.

"People believe Labour's job is to defend public services. I have never believed that"

Hell talking about reform and the market taking more of the responsibility of operating the NHS.

Wake up FFS.
