Labour -Abgeordnete fordern Starmer auf, sich auf radikale Ideen zu konzentrieren, um die Lebenshaltungskosten zu senken | Arbeit

>“You’ve got young graduate renters going to the Greens because they find their housing costs are really expensive. And you’ve got people in post-industrial areas going to Reform because they’re finding everything else really expensive, as well as finding it difficult to find good jobs.“

And presumptions based on stereotypes like this is why neoliberals struggle so much to get people to like them.

Labour really have no idea that people are so utterly done with them and the two-tier party system is once again imploding like it did in 2010.

Starmer is having the Biden effect on Labour now.

It’s going to be more taxes the middle classes – isn’t it?!

Can we simply have an honest politician and says it how it is.

We are fucked, there is no solution. But what we can do is collapse in a slower pace. Basically UK caught an uncurable cancer all we can do is try and keep the patient alive but we all know the cancer will eventually kill the patient as we are past the point of no return.

We can tax the richest as they can move their money in a offshore bank, move their businesses

Further tax the middle class who are so squeezed they are now nearer to lower class

Benefits and pensioners are swallowing all the taxed money and the numbers keep growing, you can cut but then the media and the general public goes berserk and who can blame them you dont want to see a child starve or a old person freeze.

Everything has been privatised and government is too broke to buy back, even if they did they have borrowed so much money to borrow even more will make us collapse at a faster rate.

People can’t get jobs, people cant afford kids, people cant buy houses, rent prices have surged.

This country doesnt produce anything worthy and is a service based country

The slogan should be „there is no hope“

MPs can see writing on the wall. At this rate Labour will lose half of their seats

Starmer can’t implement any significant change because either corporate lobby opposes it or his MPs oppose it

He has no vision and ideology, so you can’t even support him based on that

He could do some easy populist things like making few football matches free to air but is too cowardly to even do that

I’m not sure what the government can realistically do to ease cost of living pressures in the short term. They can try to stimulate growth, but that takes time to filter down to people’s pockets. They can try to create conditions that let the Bank of England reduce interest rates, but again, that’s slow moving.

There are things they can do, like reducing energy bills or investing in childcare and housing to bring down costs. One quick win might be reforming how standing charges work on energy bills. For example, removing certain levies or capping the charge so low-usage households aren’t hit so hard.

Reducing the tax burden would help too, but unless the government borrows more, it would mean cutting back on services like healthcare, pensions, education or local government. These are difficult trade-offs, and there’s not much low-hanging fruit left.

Even then it often feels like any gain just gets swallowed up elsewhere. Supermarkets, landlords, energy companies — someone always seems to raise prices and undo the relief.

It’s like trying to fill a leaky bucket.

Oh wait, that’s Labour. I wonder where they’ve been recently?
