My old man is hopping mad about Labour means-testing the Winter Fuel Allowance, and is determined that they'll be put out on their arse at the next election because they're only giving it to people poor enough to quality for certain benefits. He's "paid for it all his life" (it was introduced a few years before he retired) and won't get the extra £300 per year because he's very comfortable financially, and likely wouldn't even have noticed whether or not it had been paid if the right-wing news he consumes hadn't told him to be outraged about it. Apparently the evil communist Starmer is coming for his pension next, which he has also paid for all his life. I mentioned that he'd only been paying for previous generation's pensions for all that time, but it wasn't a popular observation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are essentially David Cameron's 2011 Tories. David Cameron commenced the Equality Act 2010. He legislated for gay marriage. He increased spending on foreign aid to 0.7% of GDP, putting that in legislation and not tying it to dodgy self-serving projects in more developed countries as it is now. He massively increased investment in renewable energy and kick-started all sorts of green initiatives. He allowed a Scottish independence referendum when it probably cost him votes in England. He hugely increased the minimum wage. Labour have absolutely no promises on greenhouse gas emissions. Wes Streeting's ban on puberty blockers for adolescents - which was put through parliament in recess so it couldn't be scrutinised or stopped - was a knee-jerk reaction that the BMA heavily criticised and shows their disinterest in equalities. All Labour are doing on the minimum wage is bringing under 21s up to the full level. The new FCDO spending projections include more cuts to foreign aid, from 0.58% of GDP down to 0.5%. They've absolutely ruled out an independence referendum or giving that power to the Scottish Parliament, and they're breaking the devolution settlement and the Barnett formula by spending in Scotland over the head of the Scottish Government. They cut the Scottish block grant mid-year, the first time that's happened since devolution began. It's not hyperbole to compare Cameron's government to the current Labour government and ask whether they're even coming up to his level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) I’m shocked that Labour is going to do all the things that objective observers claimed they would do prior to the election. They definitely have options other than austerity but there’s no indication that they will go for these options. The vetting process has ensured that the new Labour MPs are a bunch of Starmer loyalists, nonetheless I wonder if we’ll see unrest formenting on the backbenches Edited August 25 by Granny Danger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Sir Keef's still in the honeymoon phase and there'll be nae danger of backbench conspiracies until he looks a bit wobbly on the throne and no-mark losers start fantasising about spending more time on Downing Street. Nobody's going to be upset about the term of masterly inactivity that he promised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called the Liz Truss lock because it locks out anyone to the left of Liz Truss becoming leader. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
