Thats not true, inflation was what before they took over and what was growth projections under Sunak?  Explain our debt situation.  So in November what are Labour going to tell us?

 

The worships have nothing to do with Labour.  63 bn doesnt touch the sides.  The rest is weak, as a business owner, if my team came up with a list like that I would be embarrassed,, otal lack of imagination.   

 

How is that going to stimulate productivity?

 

Hence the total lack of respect of Labour.  

 

And what about social cohesion, thay have totally blown that.

Social cohesion is a global problem tbf. There's a massive current push in the name of individualism both in terms of people and nation states, and that destructive shit is happening everywhere.

Honestly mate, I think they do see the signs but they've got their work cut out for them to actually do something meaningful about it in the face of all the misinformed shit designed to divide flying around right now.

 

And I know this comes up on the regular here, but I think it's obvious that every other viable party option is categorically, empirically worse at the moment. So there's an argument to be made to get them to get their shit more together, but I don't see any other party in government at the present time being anything other than far worse for the future of everyone.

[leicsmac]

To add to the above: if people want to give the current government pelters then fair enough, but it would, asking again, be nice to know which other option folks think is better and exactly why.

Nor is adopting a policy that would essentially abandon millions of people to their fate, which appears to be what at least some of those protestors want and therefore the other option in this particular matter. 

 

Though tbh I've absolutely no idea how any party effectively addresses the way the fabric of society is torn right now - that's down to someone much smarter than me.

If you mean the woman that has just got out of jail, she broke a law passed by Thatcher and was sentenced under sentencing guidelines introduced by Boris Johnson. Labour had zero to do with any sentences. 

 

And when it comes to the broader point about allowing protest, the Tories introduced a law that essentially made it illegal to protest and illegal to offend anybody. Labour, like everybody else on the left, voted against and warned of it's dangers. But the Tories and their fans cheered it through to deal with left wing protest. And now look, you don't like it when it's also illegal for right wingers to do the same things. It's a Tory law, a bad one the left warned everybody about.
