Named tomorrow as the new Tory leader if the polls are believed. Could she revive Tory fortunes before the next election or is it too early. Starmer doing his best to help Unfortunately.
You can start with the NHS. Public sector productivity is much, much lower than private sector productivity, and is falling further behind all the time.
Why do you think that is?
Could it be a lack of resources, high turnover of burned out underpaid staff, rock bottom morale, and consistent cuts in real terms over a prolonged period?
It feels like you're going after the wrong poster fella
Which of my posts today have slated one side?
Whatever you may think it is great to see a major political party have a woman of colour leading them. Its progressive and shows that barriers are breaking down.
I was thinking of this thread - perhaps I am given I merely disagree with you, and think I’ve attributed some posts to you incorrectly.
When it comes to wealth outside of pensions then yes the government are double dipping as they've taxed people on their earnings already and so are now applying a death tax on that money.
When it comes to pensions then agreed you do get tax relief but it's a saving vehicle that successive governments promote to aid people in retirement as they know the basic state pension is just not enough to survive. They offer a tax relief to encourage people to save for the future.
In reality what the government should do is get their house in order and tax the super rich and companies in a fairer way that normally people are not penalised for saving and building wealth, which more often than not is just a consequence of living a life. At the moment the average house price is 288k, which is very close to the IHT threshold of 325k. As it's frozen more and more people are unfairly slipping into IHT territory without even considering pensions.

the vast majority would be james who? followed by "which one is he again?"
if you take away the culture war, anti-immigration, anti-eu (all anti-growth policies by the way) from badenoch, you're not left with much at all, that's been her whole schtick!
Given that he was HS and FS for almost two years, I think someone would have to be politically disengaged to have that reaction. Re Badenoch, I fear you may be right!!

most people are politically disengaged by the past 14 years, but i know plenty of his constituents and none of them have ever called him likeable or charismatic!
