In that it was diametrically opposed to actuality. I *started* as a co-editor in 2009 and am still there. It's an unpaid voluntary thing.

Given she's looking like a probable next Chancellor this may be due a thread revival in any case, but my specific impetus today is a particularly nauseating Times article: "Rachel Reeves for first female chancellor? George Osborne thinks so"
Also I'd like to pitch a change in title to "Rachael Reeves' Repugnant Repertoire" so we can have it as a dedicated thread.
Says the economically illiterate scrote who foisted austerity on us and generated a decade of flatlining growth because he thought government spending was like a household budget.

Rachel Reeves rules out wealth tax if Labour wins next election
Shadow chancellor also confirms Starmer leadership pledge to increase 45p top rate is off the table

Surprised they've announced it to be honest, if they weren't planning to do it, they could have just not done it. The number of people who would pay a 45p tax rate is very small and the number of people who would change their vote based on whether or not they were worried about paying 45p must be way too small to have any significant effect on the outcome of the next election.

Books, not bombs
Just the expected politicking. Even if it were to make the manifesto they will not necessarily stick by it. It's a way of trying to reach out to floating voters, the voters they lost at last election, traditional Tory voters who have become disillusioned etc. It's why I will have to hold my nose before voting at next election.

He's going to really struggle with these 'pledges' come election season. He's already not just abandoned, but done a full 180 on all of them. I'm embarassed for him. It's a shame to see anyone debase themselves so completely and so publically. It reflects badly on the entire human species.

I hope she's done her sums carefully and worked out exactly how much this will add to the cost of Universal Credit and housing benefit.
According to the most recent figures I could find, 57% of social housing tenants get benefits to help meet rental costs. As rents go up, more tenants will become eligible for help, unless their income rises commensurately.
