Glad to see Labour’s ‚fuck the poor and disabled‘ policy isn’t that popular amongst the public. Hopefully we can get a left wing party in to do better.
>YouGov polling found 68% of Brits who say they support Reform UK believe the government should be doing more to tackle poverty in the UK.
This should be setting off alarm bells. Promising to solve poverty and then not doing it creates fertile ground for the empty rhetoricians.
So 28% of brits approve?
That’s significantly better than the 20% of brits that voted for them. Must be doing something right.
The poverty is worse than ever, why should I have to pay massive Bill’s and then struggle to buy groceries when companies get away with little to no tax?
That’s because a lot of people don’t want to actually tackle poverty once you start to talk details.
They’ll complain pensioners are living in poverty on £12K a year income from a state pension.
But the moment you ask if we should actually help those on lower incomes like unemployment benefits of £4.7K a year, they change their mind or move the goal posts.
„We hear you, we’ll continue to make David Cameron look like Clement Attlee“ – The Keir Leader
No shit. It, essentially, boils down to „Fuck the elderly and fuck the ill – Let’s save some monies!“
What policy, I haven’t seen any evidence of a clear policy to address inequality so far. It all just seems to be the short term knee jerk reactions like we’ve seen for the previous 15 years.
Without a fairer distribution of wealth this issue will keep growing.
Less money going to the 1% and shareholders. Wages before profits and payouts
The majority of brits are tory scum at heart. That’s the rub of it. After 14 years of non-stop BS they found and ounce of shame, voted for someone else. Then no less than a month later regretted not pandering the small minded greed, jealousy and paranoia.
Correction,
# Majority of Brits disapprove of Labour.
Labour is not a party for working people. There, I’ve said it.
You mean taking money from pensioners and the disabled is wrong? Who knew?
Labours approach is ‘more of the same please’. They might as well rebrand as Tory-Lite.
Just another „reform voters are stupid“ thread. See how that worked in the US? „Stupid Voters“ are going to give Reform a massive majority and its going to be mental. How about there’s some serious pressure on labour to fucking DO SOMETHING that doesn’t involve taxing people more or destroying yet more of the economy via the insane energy prices. They have a massive majority.. do something you muppets.
The way to tackle poverty is cap private rents, reintroduce rent controls, and rent tribunals (repeal the 1988 housing act) reduce utility bill costs by taxing profits of the energy firms.
And pay people more money so they have more disposable income to spend in the economy and provide everyone the incentive to move up.
I don’t agree with the term unskilled, everything has a skill, even cleaning is a skill, and any skill should provide an incentive to upskill.
Two people working or even a single person working full time shouldn’t require extra benefits to top up their incomes or need to use food banks to make ends meet, nor should they be paying more than 50% of their incomes on rent/mortgages and bills
People want to live, not just survive , exist and stagnate just to work and plod along and have nothing to show for it with life.
And yet in some of the most deprived parts of the UK they voted Reform
Willing to bet if they actually fixed other shit reform wouldn’t get in coz folk would be happier with their situations, not that ignoring immigration is something they should do obviously something needs done about illegal migration but I don’t trust reform to do anything about either.
Labours’s approach has been tone-deaf and incompetent.
Cutting the winter fuel payment… on the surface getting rid of it for very wealthy pensioners seems like a good idea. Setting it to the destitution line of being eligible for pension credit meant many on the brink got caught up.
setting it to a comfortable income would have been better.
Then taxing the wealthy… you cant win against the parasite class by taxing the money… money can be moved. you have to tax the assets and the income generated from those assets at source. Want to dramatically improve the housing crisis? 90% tax on income derived from rental properties over 1 property.
Seems to me that Labour are taking a slow and measured response which I do approve of more than the quick sound bite announcements we have become accustomed to.
I don’t like the approach they took with the 2 child limit but over all, they seem to of done more than previous governments such as US trade deal, India trade deal, ended junior dr strikes, rail nationalisation bill and ended the Rwanda scheme.
Things I don’t like is the Launch of the British Infastructure Task Force to deliver new infastructure projects using the likes of Black Rock Asset Management-sounds like a relaunch of PFI to me.
I’m yet to see much done about the Housing and Energy crisis though which in my opinion would help more people if remedied than all the other things mooted.
I hope reform are no real threat considering their leader took us out of Europe on a lie but who really knows what’s going to happen in the future.
