Doing some stuff that the Tories failed to do.

Not so keen on the farming land grabs though. Compulsory purchasing land at agricultural rates for hoiusing developments. They do seem to hate the countryside.

The most effective right-wing Government we've had since the last one in 1997. Starmer is Thatcherism on cocaine. Scrapping benefits, funding wars, concreting over masses of countryside, and scrapping local democracy on behalf of millionaire developers, all a Tory boy's wet dream, along with record deportations of asylum seekers and hard right immigration controls being introduced. Cuts coming to the civil service with government-mandated targets. They aren't leaving much for Nigel and his mates to complain about, are they?

Oh, and they have exiled all the legitimately left-wing MPs out of their Party.

They didn't mention any of that on their Union Jack-decorated election leaflets, they are certainly a more effective Tory Government then the last Tory Government that can be said for them.

Both great ideas, but both need to be done with global coordination, or those rich bods and companies just piss off somewhere else.

Any news on recovering the £billions stolen by the friends of the Tories during Covid??

Or taxes for UK based companies/individuals not currently contributing?

Or are they just Tories in disguise?

If the private sector was half as conscientious and hardworking as some on here like to insist it is, Phil and Gav would have had to get proper jobs over 20 years ago.

NHS England whilst nominally independent, shamelessly kowtowed when they were told to do so.

When we were suffering from PPE shortage, particularly at the beginning of the pandemic rather than double efforts to source kit they downgraded requirements at the behest of incompetent and corrupt criminal Matt Hancock.


You say Matt Hancock is a criminal. What offences has he committed? I did a quick google and could find no evidence of him being a criminal.

I get the pushback in this thread and don't want to see vulnerable people carry the can, but what else is there to be done?

"9.29 million people aged 16-64 were economically inactive, and the inactivity rate was 21.5%."

https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9366/#:~:text=9.29%2

Without knowing anything much, 21% of adults being economically inactive seems like a massive burden for everyone else to carry, especially when many of the active will be low paid.


There are only currently 816,000 vacancies.

There will be many reasons for inactivity (eg. those approaching 65 and able to give up work earlier).

As it is, the employment rate is higher than it was from WW2 to 2010.

And I came across this.

"Inactivity fell across the G7 countries in the years prior to the onset of the pandemic and the UK consistently had one of the lowest inactivity rates. Since then inactivity has risen in the UK and US, but fallen across the rest of the G7 countries."

Austerity seems to be the main reason for our woes when it comes to those unable to work, because the NHS wasn't able to cope with the pandemic or its aftermath, leaving an increasing number unable to work, and with no prospect of them being "fixed".

Yep, getting those people economically active is vital or generations of non-working begin to happen across families and estates.....there will need to be both carrot and stick applied

Lol at you picking them up on Criminal but not corrupt.

Let's wait and see if we ever get a proper inquiry into COVID procurement. And see if any Misconduct in Public Office charges follow for anyone who might have put forward a pub landlord for "Preferred Supplier" status. If that happens, and such a hypothetical person were found guilty, they would then be a Criminal.

Personally I am willing to cut some slack to the person who was working with colleagues with inadequate PPE as peoples lungs collapsed around them, at the same time as a certain pub landlord was probably reading "Import/Export for Dummies", for their lack of legal niceties in this instance.

Well I am open-minded about "corrupt" but labelling someone a criminal when they are not (at this point) is libel is it not? I am surprised Phil is OK with this kind of stuff posted on his board.

Are you going to grass him up to Hancock or not?

Because if not, like many things written on the internet, it's a tree falling in a forest that nobody heard.

Phil has also made it clear that the liability for Libel rests with the poster, not the platform.

You're wrong.

In the eyes of the law, the operator of a message board counts as a publisher, and thus is jointly liable for any illegal statements made by posters. Though in practice, yes is it usually the poster who is prosecuted.

I suppose we could consider actually taxing the super rich and openly profiteering corporations.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/sep/26/amazon-uk-pays-corporation-ta

https://www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/energy-profits-hit-420bn-in-recent-years-as-st


There aren't enough of the "super rich" to produce the revenue needed & they will simply move their tax domicile if they are going to be hit too hard. Much the same goes for corporations - it's criminal that so many pay so little tax, but not even the EU can agree a common tax regime to try to sort this out. So tax burdens inevitably fall on the middle to high earners.
