Keir Starmer's time is up

[a_chap]

What next?

Banning unions?

 

[gosub]

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

 

[campanula]

Admittedly, I am a bit of a simpleton but the takeover of the Labour party seems like another example of the middle classes stealing any working class ideas and agency, degrading, monetising and basically shitting all over them. My contempt for Starmer is unbounded.

Rachel Reeves watch:

NEW: Rachel Reeves says she has “no intention” of bringing back the bankers bonus cap - scrapped in Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-budget - saying she wants to be the “champion” of a thriving financial services industry.

Shadow chancellor told BBC: “The cap on bankers’ bonuses was brought in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and that was the right thing to do to rebuild the public finances. But that has gone now and we don’t have any intention of bringing that back.”

Absolutely tone deaf

 

[gosub]

Except bankers bonuses mean redundancies....


Higher the bonus... lower the salary... less to pay out in redundancy payments

I was listening to the news this am whilst having my breakfast and this was a top story, I thought at the time there will be Urbs making annoyed posts about this, you have not disappointed me.
Trickle down innit, encouraging the wealth creators.

Why would a party for the rich want to cap bankers' bonuses?

Does anyone really give a fuck for redundant bankers?

Nice to see the Labour party adopt another tory policy. Must say I'd have preferred shammer to announce it

Did you know clement Attlee attended a public school and derived his ideas on social welfare from taking part in its mission while a public school boy in a poverty-stricken area of London?

So I'm struggling to think of any Labour policies that aren't actually the same as Tory ones. Anyone...?

An interesting triumvirate of articles today:

What is Labour’s £28bn green plan – and could it be shelved?

Party’s pledge to invest in a low-carbon economy looks to be at risk amid nervousness over making spending commitments

www.theguardian.com

Labour has one big spending plan, and it is making a hash of it. It must communicate better than this | John McTernan

The only real problem with the green prosperity fund is its name. It is an industrial strategy. Name it plainly and sell it, says political strategist John McTernan

www.theguardian.com

UK risks steep decline without £28bn green economy pledge, Labour warned

Business leader says investment in low-carbon economy is ‘absolute minimum’, a view echoed by other experts

This happened a couple of days ago and now Owen Jones has interviewed the Palestinian man who protested at the meeting:

Owen Jones has always been a weather-vane on this issue: but fair play to him, he has now stepped up to the plate.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

So shameful

 

[nino_savatte]

Reynolds is a creepy fucker.

 

[Pickman's model]

So shameful

For 30 years or more Labour have been saying they're the party of business. And so they cannot be they party of working people.

 

[Pickman's model]

Reynolds is a creepy fucker.

He may not be a minister shadow or otherwise after the next election if he carries on like this

[Karl Masks]

So shameful

The optics are horrific, but it may genuinely be a false equivalence

cunts

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Imagine 'growing the economy' being the best these vapid wankers have to offer as their vision for a better society.

 

[brogdale]

and to continue with the 'good news'...

 

[PTK]

So shameful

To clarify: it is the child element of child tax credit that is limited to two children, not child benefit. The latter has no limit on the number of children it covers.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

What a shame the Great Boss Man isn't still in charge eh

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Labour are just a nonstop cringefest atm
