yes you are. and deluded.

It’s a pipe dream
There is so much damage to undo … it will take years before we see anything resembling “progress” and I don’t think we’ll wake up to “change” in the morning .. unless you count a new government as change .. I am glad to see the Tories go but I’m not whooping from the rooftops because there is a lot to be done and Labour can’t even make a dent in it in one term

Ha ha, perfect response.

I expect OP may well be very disappointed.

Exactly. Starmer will need at least two terms to make a tangible improvement that could be recognised as "progress". Everything in the first term will have to be about getting some money in the bank to actually pay for the progress - and that's all about economic stability, aka "the boring stuff nobody wants to talk about".

Brace yourself for a few years of quiet, calm and sensible administration.

This.
Politics is cyclical. In 10 years we’ll all be moaning about useless, corrupt labour and dreaming of a landslide victory for someone else.
I salute your optimism but I think if you believe that there is going to be any discernible change to your life in the near future you are being rather naive.
Most of these change are going to take years to actually happen or make any difference. Many will simply just not be possible due to a huge lack of money.
I hope you get what you want but I’m not holding my breath that the country is all now magically fixed.
It is, after all, still being run by humans. They will make mistakes, do stupid things, lie and get greedy. It’s what humans do.

No, OP. We have been taken so far from this by the outgoing government that it will take a long time to get to a place even close to it. You need to manage your expectations have patience, and rather than see today as a destination, see it as the first step of a journey to a better place.

Where was this utopia during the last Labour government?

Good lord.

Of course the word woman isn't going to be banned. Neither is breastfeeding, mother etc. This is just like the so called 'war on Christmas' that the right wang have tried to revive every November.

When 4.3 million children are living in poverty, I am shocked that otherwise sensible women (yes, I said it - gasp) are falling for this straw man culture war that they've stoked almost entirely to distract from the rest of their abysmal record.

The worst thing you'll likely have to deal with is gender neutral bathrooms. I think you can cope.

Ffs 😂😂😂 come on, no one is that deluded. This isn’t in the night garden Op- this is real life.

State pensions are already taxed if the person is meeting the income tax threshold

I’m very positive about labours win. But there’s no money. This term needs to be about building trust and steadying the ship. Not sure if there’s much more they can do.

You forgot the last bit: funded by fairies.

many people in france were crying tears of joy this morning and that is according to that nasty channel GB news so even they had to admit it.

I confess I thought you were being serious until I saw that bit.

Good luck with that. They have a big majority but in terms of the electorate not a strong position. They’ve said they don’t change income tax so it will be suicidal to do that, plus if you check the stats those who “can afford it” pay far more of the tax. If you want a fair tax system everyone should pay the same percentage.

He's a politician not the Messiah.

Green fields,golden farts and glittery turds all the way.

Couldn't agree more.

I don't disagree with you on any specific point there - but if the problems you're talking about are going to be solved, they need to be solved properly, with proper funding, a complete plan and buy-in from top to bottom. And, more to the point, it needs every service it touches to be functioning properly; education, social care, benefits, the NHS etc. Unless those are fixed and functional, any effort to help ND folk will a best be a band-aid that lets far too many fall through the cracks to be remotely effective, and at worst a misguided failure that makes our lot worse rather than better.

Lest we forget, the entire medical model of autism (for example) used by the NHS is proven to be outdated and not fit for purpose, yet it persists because of institutional inertia; just re-educating the NHS workforce on that alone will take years, and they have vastly bigger issues right now. Hell, I have to get my melatonin prescription privately through the same doctor who isn't allowed to prescribe it on the NHS even though it's known to be safe and to solve the problem a huge number of autistic people have with sleep.

It's a case of prioritisation, and the notion that a rising tide lifts all ships. And more than a small amount of hope based on that.

Property taxes? So us normal working people who have Property should be taxed extra too?

Exactly this.

Plus there is the magic money tree that every party seems to believe exists when they make their promises.

Why wasn't it this Utopia last time Labour were in power?

(I'm not anti Labour BTW, it's just that people seem to have forgotten a lot)

I so agree. Within minutes of the Labour unicorn getting voted in at my constituency she was out planting money trees. The radiant light of goodness and plenty shone from her as she blessed the poor, the weak and the little children.

Truly a new dawn is shining its light on this beleaguered country.

By better benefits do you mean people who can work do work and working people have more help? People who work should get more help with childcare. The immigrants that are mentioned are illegal not people who come here legally.
You can't keep taxing businesses, they will close or move their business abroad. Same with rich people they will move their money. It's not as easy as tax the wealthy.

Lastly you do know labour only control our country and not the world?
