      I mean, that isn’t right, surely? The Greens have very visibly made cost-of-living a headline issue. Say what you want about their means of addressing it, but to say they don’t care about it as a concern is crazy to me.

      No. I think that the Tories and Reform care. They want to raise the cost of living drastically.

      It’s because we are more aware that we are being turned into ever increasing commodities for the “oligarchs!”

      The problem is we all want the cost of living to improve today but it was a lack of long term investment that got us into this situation to begin with. If we keep voting for parties that gives us relief in the short term (through cuts and borrowing) we end up paying for it long term.

      People need to realise that there is very little any government can do about the cost of living.

      We voted for our critical infrastructure to be privatised meaning we are in the hands of private companies for electricity, gas and water. We voted for low taxes for 45 years meaning we now have a £3 trillion national debt and a £100+ billion annual deficit.

      People haven’t bothered to keep their skills relevant meaning most British people have no more skills than their Indian or Chinese counterparts, but expect to be paid four times as much for doing the same job which doesn’t wash in an increasingly global economy.

      Unfortunately, all our chickens are now come home to roost.

      You never have a say in the UK unless you have a vote on foreign affairs and you do not have any say on foreign affairs when you have a foreign military base on your soil.

      I’m not sure what I would expect a government to do to lower the cost of living. Subsidise carrots in Tesco? Pay my rent for me? Give me an electric car and somewhere to park and charge it so I don’t have to pay so much for petrol?

      Labour are working on it but sections of the electorate repeatedly voted to wreck the UK by re-electing the Conservatives and choosing Brexit.

      Even worse most of those responsible for this refuse to take any responsibility for their voting choices, and are often the first to moan that Labour haven’t waved a magic wand and fixed it all overnight.

      The same people are now probably going to vote ReformUK to really screw over the country when it’s already on its knees.

      Green Party is the only one that actually cares. Some of them are really misguided on nuclear though.

      Because when Labour makes a move to counteract this, everyone complains lol.

      We can’t win.

      It seems many people confuse not being able to fix the cost of living crisis with not wanting to

      when i was younger i was probably just too naive

      these days i just pretty much universally accept that until something durastically changes in society, no party/corporation/people in power actually care about me.

    13. TheEndIsFingNigh on

      Not that the Greens have been talking about it non-stop for over a year now. Do people not pay attention?

      All the sensible parties care deeply. It’s critically important. That doesn’t mean in any way that the government has executive control over the cost of living. A global economy has benefits but also has global issues. No country that is heavily involved with the global economy can just wish the cost of living away, nor can they just press a few buttons to get it under control. Labour are doing an amazing job in with an incredibly difficult task. I’m not sure how much better people think it can get unless we suddenly regained control of the US

    16. supersonic-bionic on

      Thats true. There are culture wars ovrrshadowing the real problems that no one wants to touch and fix.

    17. simanthropy on

      Realistically, what do top-level-policy solutions to this look like? Things cost more. So subsidise them. Where does that money come from? The wealthy? That’s the Green platform. The middle class? That’s Labour/Lib Dem. What other solutions are people wanting offered?

      Brits “no one cares about the cost of living”

      Labour has raised the minimum wage so the poorest workers will have more money to help with the cost of living:

      Brits “omfg what have you done you’ve doomed us all”

      It’s a shame Labour messaging is bad and the media pile on them.

      For the first time in my adult life, I have directly and quickly felt a positive financial effect from their policies. They wasted no time pushing through childcare reform and my industry has seen a lot of new funding both from the EU and locally (with more coming in the latter half of the year supposedly). This means I am about £15k better off in childcare and I got my first senior position thanks to new funding with a nice salary increase.

    20. Clbull on

      The Greens care. But their caveat is they want open borders, to withdraw from NATO, and somehow think they can convince Putin to disarm Russia’s nuclear weapons.

    21. Busy-Replacement-421 on

      It’s a grim reality that decades of political choices have left us with few good options now. We’re stuck between parties that don’t care and a system that feels impossible to fix.
