Starmer will give a speech today that sets out his austerity programme if elected. More cuts to the public sector, borrowing won't be a strategy to kick start the economy. The big plan is to 'increase productivity' and 'grow the economy'. That'll be used to fund the public sector.
It's here and it's Thatcherism on steroids.
Anyone preparing to vote for this lot at least go into it with eyes wide open now, because this feller is handing you the play book to read. There is no room for buyers remorse in 2 years time or so. He's telling you what you'll get.

I don't understand?
If you are neurodivergent then that's a fair comment- however I'm fairly sure that isn't public knowledge.
If you aren't, well, that's a despicable attempt to grab the moral high ground.
Because I want to get rid of the Tories.
But when UKIP/ Brexit party or whatever, started pulling in votes, the tories shifted tack to swallow these up. My hope would be if the Labour Party saw votes going to the likes of the Greens, they would also follow suit. It’s a tough position but wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a wasted vote.
What do you think labour will do differently with regards to immigration? Maybe not send people to Rwanda or call people cockroaches etc but I genuinely don’t see them trying to change the narrative. They’re too scared to properly talk about it.

Vote Green the social media socialist scream but get another 5 years of Tories. We all know their true agenda.
I'd not like to chance it in my constituency. There was a 208 majority for Labour in the 2019 election. I'm not convinced there's going to be a swing back to Labour. If anything the Greens taking votes let's the Tories have the seat.
Maybe not wasted, but a risky vote imho.
As I explained previously, I think any party will struggle right now to change the narrative as its become so poisonous. I generally advocate open borders, so don't like it one bit, but it's where we are. My only hope is that they become a multi-term government and the first is used to destink government, with subsequent terms used to take us back in a proper direction again.
On a positive note, for all of the Tories despicable language around immigration, it is at very high levels. This has always been the thing with them, their language and actions seldom join up, but they bank on their daft voters not really bothering to check. Just so long as the narrative is one of hate, they get away with actually pretty high immigration numbers. Suffice it to say, it's not an approach I like, but I don't know how you change it. I was listening to the Today Programme this morning, for instance, and they were discussing Rwanda as though it's a meaningful attempt to change things, despite the fact that a) it's morally repugnant, and b) only going to affect a tiny proportion of the asylum seekers coming here. The flagship political programme didn't ask any of those questions.
Minimum salary cap about to rise for foreign workers as well as restrictions on how many dependents can come with. QT last week highlighted the distress in care homes this will cause.

He seems to be hell bent on looking for new lows lately. Being banned from the CA was actually a blessing for him as he is systematically destroying a once enjoyed profile.
Think it was in the Guardian I read an analysis along the lines of the current high immigration levels being due to Brexit. EU workers were more transitory and often didn't bring families. Recruiting from further afield sees more migratory patterns where folk want to stay longer and bring their families. It's rational - it's a bigger move, harder to get back home relatively quickly, arguably better long term prospects in settling etc.
So yes, they're screeching at a problem of their own making.
I'm being sincere now, if I've caused offence due to not knowing about a disability I fully apologise.

No, I haven't gt it. But it doesn't mean I don't think that calling one person a crackpot and loony is a valid way of debating.
Perhaps you cold reflect on that.
