Current Affairs The Labour Party

lol lol lol

They want other countries to be paid to keep immigrants because they hate them being here.

Every LP in the past has emphasised the net gain to the country with immigration, but not Starmer's crypto-fascists.

You asked for the difference, I gave you it.

What is Labour proposing?​

While ruling out reversing Brexit, the party’s plans are focused on greater cooperation with the EU, a deal that has proved elusive for Rishi Sunak’s government.

Starmer indicated he could do a deal with Brussels involving the UK taking a quota of asylum seekers who arrive in the bloc in exchange for being able to return people who cross the Channel.

Labour also plans to pay for more asylum caseworkers to help clear the backlog of more than 175,000 asylum seekers awaiting an initial decision on their application.

How different is it from the government’s position?​

Starmer’s remarks on being open to accepting a quota-based deal with the EU means there is a clear dividing line between the two main parties on immigration.

Sunak’s spokesperson told reporters at Downing Street on Thursday that, while talks continued with the EU on brokering a returns agreement, the government would never accept a quota of migrants as the price for that.

The plan to send people to Rwanda to have their asylum applications processed remains a central element of the government’s stance on immigration, despite being found to be unlawful.

The only positive to come out of Starmer's Tories gaining power will be the creation of a real socialist party in Britain again, one financed by the unions to fight in every constituency up and down the country and smash the Former Labour Party forever.

That will be the Manchurian Candidates historic legacy. That's his destiny.

Can we go-fund you 30 minutes without adverts on GB news please?

The next twelve months of wrecking ball fun are yet to be understood, Pete.

What can the tory's put in play before the election is probably the question that will need answering.

They will try to buy us off but Hunt will make a complete pigs ear of it. As an example, and whether you agree with it or not, inheritance tax should just be abolished, but he will reduce the percentage or whatever. So everyone will still have to go through the legal process while still grieving for the deceased, HMRC will still have to review everything at huge cost it will save pennies but the cost of solicitors and civil servants will remain, and no one will be happy. It will gain no votes, but Sunak and Hunt are so far out of touch that they will convince themselves it’s a vote winner…..

If we want a functional society it might be better to look at those having to rely on food banks and charitable hand outs to survive before the notion of cancelling inheritance tax even enters anyones thinking.

Keep up with what?

On the plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda not just for processing but permanently, although Labour has promised to scrap the scheme, the rationale for this is firmly based on cost and practicality rather than morals. Quizzed on the latter, Starmer went no further than to call it “against our values”.

2 weeks ago.



Theres a difference.

Keep up.

It was an example, not a priority. Food banks are an abomination. If people are hungry or depend on them they should stand outside of every town hall in the country, every MP’s constituency office and of course Westminster. Just stop Oil and all the other middle class protesters, together with all the Palestinian ‘from the river to the sea’ folk should glue themselves to Tesco’s with T shirts saying just stop hunger, why are the trade unions not jumping all over this, but yet none of this happens does it. Why do you think that is….,

Your current lot have brought tighter controls in re protesting.
It's also worth remembering the Marcus Rashford stand for school meals for children.
So far as just stopping oil and the likes, rose bank has the green light.
Unsure what protestors for the massacre of thousands of Palestinians has to do with anything but the massacre of thousands of Palestinians, but hey, keep slinging the mud.
Aren't the trade unions a little busy at the minute configuring strikes and protests for the many workers that've suffer nearly 14 years of austerity, cut backs, no pay increases whilst the cost of living has sky rocketed, yet your tory pigs have increased their share of mp's pay and allowances.

Didn't take you long to gloss over the many points put to you once again and go back to slinging mud. Reasonable, measured, considered, cogent, clear discourse though yeah? Toad!

 

[Rita_Poon]

What would you suggest…..

We've played that game before as well. No thanks. You start ponying up some answers mr grown up...

Trade unions have been fighting across the country for better wages during the cost of living crisis and often winning.

I highly doubt you were full of praise for unions and striking workers when this was happening.

We’ll Just stop Oil hasn’t stopped oil has it, and they’ve all flown out to the ski slopes.

The Palestinian demos haven’t stopped Israel bombing Gaza but they all feel much better about themselves as they rip down pictures of those who have been taken hostage

The Unions have done sod all for the most vulnerable in society, and tbh very little for their own members.

I’d still go with my suggestion tbh……

I haven’t even heard a great deal from your Labour Party either tbh.
