Please feel free to do so, but I recommend you don’t ignore the economic news of the past 15 years, even if you don’t like what it’s fueling y

You are suffering from selective reading again. That's plainly obvious by you only commenting about economics. 

 

Go twist again.

Stupid is as stupid does.

 

You've clearly not fully read the original post I quoted or, as I said previously, you are suffering from your usual selective reading syndrome.

GB had a chance to break away from all the crap politics of 20 years ago when Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party, sadly the ex Blairites and co, killed that at the 2017 General Election, things could have been so different. 

In some respects I agree.

But the game’s not over yet.

 

However until neoliberalism and trickle down economics are reversed, the rich will continue to consume the wealth and resources of the middle class; the working class having already been hollowed out.

 

Farage and the rightwing support continuing wealth inequality and are scapegoating immigrants for its consequences.

I have read it.

 

I’ve not seen you post anything resembling a considered counter argument.

I'm jlnot arguing. I asked a question. That question remains unanswered.

the Jeremy Corbyn fan boys are out. Things are getting desperate lol

Even Sir Humphrey Appleby would be pleased with young Nigel after what the closet Tory has done to UK.

I can only assume that this was meant as a joke.

There is no way that the British would be so stupid as to elect a Trump supporter as a PM.

My concern with Farage and Reform being in charge would be lack of policies outside of immigration.

 

The two policies they did have for the last election, raising minimum wage to £15 and raising tax threshold to £20000, are even more worrying.

it’s about time that the threshold was increased from the present rate of £12,500.

all that is happening at the moment is that people are relying on benefits as they consider paying tax on earnings as low as £12500 not worth the effort.

Given the stinking mess Starmer inherited after 13 years of graft, corruption and incompetence by Tories, what were you expecting in 3 months?

In 13 years Tories doubled the national debt that had taken over 100 years to accumulate. From 1 tn in 100 years to 2 tn in 13 years.

UK now pays an extra 200m per day ( alone ) interest servicing this financial disgrace. Truss did more damage in 30 days than Hitler managed in 6 years.

Who can forget Brexit will mean an extra 300m per week to NHS?? The at least 200bn Covid black hole where cronies and bag men looted treasury at govt becking.

Russian oligarchs buying up central London and titles and then laundering their money again with OK of Boris and co.

The NHS is on its knees, all the infrastructure built with endeavour of post war political architects is now a feeding trough for grubby, venal Tory backers.

Farage is from exact same background as these Tory bumlickers. He is a self serving, smarmy, hypocritical commission pimp.

He couldn't run a raffle.

Is he still living in his overseas pied a Terre with his non English wife?

talking about corruption, how is Labour doing.
