So Labour told us there is no money. There is a £22bn black hole in the economy/books. And that’s why poor, disabled, pensioners, people living on the margins of food, fuel poverty with young families must not have any support or help; but ‘its important that leaders [and their unelected wives] look their best’ so despite a salary approaching £200K PA plus generous expenses, they take [need] free clothing and more from sponsors’. Surely, if the whole country is That Poor, the leaders should be wearing clothing from their local charity shops, or from a local designer/maker, and supporting small business within the UK?
This #Labour government is a bunch of self-serving hypocritical liars, only in it for themselves.
Nothing is being done to tax the wealthy, to recover the Covid misspends, to help the economy, or those on low fixed incomes.
Everything is being done to help themselves, to help their sponsors, to privatise the few remaining public services.
No money for the Casement Stadium in Belfast, no money for the Cities improvement budgets, no money for Cold Weather Payments, no money for Children if you have more than two. Nothing to control rents, to fix mouldy housing, to force privatised water companies to repair their system that handed them profits; nothing for new / repaired / upgraded schools or hospitals’ no mention of vaccination programmes for Covid, Polio, TB, Whooping Cough, Flu, Measles etc. Even the free public transport for pensioners is now under consideration for removal/restriction.
What a bunch of dirty self-interested liars this Labour goverment is turning out to be. We had fair warning they would not be great, but they are a million times worse than anyone imagined already. Even the worst days of Johnson [Shag-Yeti] were not as profligate as Starmer and his associates are already.
They have handed the far-right, who plan a big event around Downing St at the end of October a massive opportunity already, and the likes of 🐸 is seizing it, as is Robinson, Fox, et al.
I’m just a bit cross about it, especially as I live in Northern Ireland, and we don’t even have the opportunity to vote [or not] for these b*****ds; but we must suffer their rules and decisions. 🤬.
Wales and Scotland at least have voting options that we do not. Unfortunately for Wales & Scotland too many were deceived and their devolution is rapidly disappearing.
