„The party’s plan to reinstate the two-child benefit cap comes despite Reform’s candidate for the forthcoming by-election having previously suggested that people who don’t have children should be taxed extra as punishment.“
Don’t let Reform get away with it.
Eventually these parties will have to make a better case than „Don’t vote for Reform“.
The libdems complain Reform get all the coverage, and then in the party broadcast Ed largely talked about Reform.
Are these the Tory Poverty Years that Gordon Brown promised to match in his manifesto?
Between 1999 and 2002, Chancellor Gordon Brown sold 395 tonnes (roughly 58%) of the UK’s gold reserves at a historic low price, averaging $276 an ounce, generating approximately $3.5 billion
The decision is now estimated to have cost taxpayers over £36 billion in lost potential value as of 2025.
===============================================
And in addition for those jacking off to their downvote buttons…
Further context.
The Labour government of that time inherited a national debt of £374 billion in 1997.
When they lost the election in 2010, the national debt was £1.08 trillion.
I’ve no intention of voting reform as of now, but this is a weak argument
Are you telling me we aren’t in the poverty years right now?
Labour’s „Project fear“… Frighten the sheeple into not voting for Reform.
The man who sold off all the Gold, the man unprepared for a growing financial crisis.. the man who bailed out the greedy bankers..
Talks of Poverty..
Kettle black mate. His actions or rather, inactions, led to Tory „poverty“ aka austerity.
We’re in poverty years already. Both Labour and Tory have contributed to it.
Labour had the easiest time in human history to run a country & still fucked it up so bad, we got 15 years of tories after making it worse. But tories/labour “don’t vote reform!”
Whole system needs a shake up.
‘Poverty Years’ is an understatement of what would happen with Reform.
Public don’t won’t to think things are complicated – they somebody to say it’s very easy and we’ll sort it.
As services are farmed out to crypto donors.
Meanwhile Gordon Brown and Tony Blair oversaw a massive financial crisis that drove Britain towards Tory poverty.
Yeah reform might be a disaster… but let’s not forget the whole reason they are even in the debate is because of the failings of the two parties that have had control of the country for decades.
So said the prick who sold all our gold go nothing.
How do we describe these current years then? ( not a reform person myself)
Thankfully for Labour, egos on the right will keep them in power
Read that as „Gordon Brown warns, Nigel Farage in drag“
Can we not get someone who’s competent to just call out how their ideas will fail. Literally look at what they’re doing in Kent, said they wouldn’t put taxes up. Get in first thing they do is put our council tax up. Surely just do what they do and moan about how bad they are for the country. Rather than talking about reform just call them out
The hell we have gone though over these years. Ill gladly try a new pathway. For better or worse.
Are the Tory poverty years in any way worse than the current Labour poverty years?
Gordon’s got very chatty recently. I mean, good for him: I like the guy. Interesting.
It’s gonna be „Tory poverty years“ on steroids, imagine those years but with incompetence pumped up to 100.
He’s not wrong, but we’re STILL in the poverty years, and we will remain so as long as normal people are competing with billionaires for resources.
Well, he’ll have a fucking wide selection to choose from when he does.
Very rich man informs poor people they are staying poor. Shocker
It feels like a dark cloud is lifting over this economy and I couldn’t imagine anything worse than reform getting in to fuck it all up just because they hate brown people.
Labour really need to maximise on their successes and let people know. Huge budget surplus, energy cap down massively, NHS times lowest in years, progress everywhere and a rate cut almost baked in
Says the man who SOLD OUR FUCKING GOLD FOR NOTHING
That’d count for a lot, if he hadn’t swamped the UK with PFI.
According to labour we are still in the Tory poverty years.
Every problem, every crisis, all the issues they fail to do anything about they blame on the Tory governments that came before.
Not defending the Conservatives at all, just an observation.
Yeah but influencers will get to run the country like a podcast and tiktok shop business
No, Tory’s drag people UP ! Labour drag people DOWN !
And if you don’t believe that – you are on your way down !
Wow! Got reddit warning for saying that – it must be true !
