To be done with Labour - no money will be saved

I didn't vote for them but I was willing to give them a chance and hoped that they would be good for the country, but honestly what with the WFA debacle, now PIP, small boat crossings up by 48% so far this year this country is in a complete mess.

No it wasn’t. It was because of state largesse. It always is.

Sadly I can see that actually happening.

More should be happening at school to give young people jobs to aim for and work experience If experience is given in a supportive environment then they can fail and try something else Jobs should maybe be created with support for people with mental health issues without too much pressure Are trainee nurses having to pay for three years of working whilst doing a degree Jobs where you work at the same time as getting a degree speech therapists occupational therapist etc should be free get people motivated who wants to work long shifts like nurses for nothing

I feel deflated. With 1 in 4 working age claiming to be disabled, and large proportion getting 800 a month - maybe I should join them? What do you need that money for if you have anxiety, depression or ADHD? Meanwhile, my children struggle to earn, work, save. They’ll never own a house. They will just be stuck paying for all of this.

And then I have just had to watch MPs at the house of commons saying that had to ‘vote with their hearts’. No, I need you to vote with your dang head. How about thinking about the hard working taxpayer who feels like a cashcow right now.

Don't ever get sick, have an accident or other calamity...we are doomed if we cant care for the vulnerable

The Greek crisis was because people didn't pay their taxes...avoidant rich just like here

Decided to make an exception on this occasion eh?

Since you couldn't be bothered to read the article I linked I will leave this short snippet below for you which summarises it nicely.

The numbers cited are questionable, given they are based upon a survey by a ‘global wealth intelligence’ firm. However, even if entirely accurate, it would still represent less than 0.5% of the more than three million millionaires who live in the UK. This amounts to a rounding error and is hardly the “exodus” claimed.

I'm not claiming Labour is getting everything right. What they've managed up to now is questionable at best but they are not driving millionaires away in droves.

I'm a Labour voter. I'm not happy with Labour, and if they continue this way for the rest of their term, I'll either spoil my vote or vote LibDem, depending on their policies. But it is early days. They inherited a hell of a mess, and I am still holding out hope that they'll turn it around.

We have a ton of paper millionaires. Plenty are older people who don't pay much tax anyway, for instance the baby boom generation who bought houses in places like London in the 70s/80s.
Nobody is massively concerned about the "wealthy" leaving in droves. It tends not to make a noticeable difference.

Unfortunately, they will take everyone down with them. At this point these morons are going for ‘scorched earth’.

Trash the country as much as possible to appease the far left.

Thank you.

Let them go down with this ‘Government’ - we need to ensure we don't go down with them.

These cuts were never going to save a penny and the government was well aware of it. They were part of a move to downgrade disability benefits (see also the replacement of the term benefits with the offensive "welfare) so that they're only paid to the most severely disabled of all .Starmer is no socialist; arguably he's well to the right of the Major administration.

If anyone still believes the government's main aim here is to save money, ask yourself why inequality caused by poverty costs the NHS 50 bn per year, ten times the amount the cuts were meant to save. And this is entirely ignored by our leaders.

Sums it up perfectly. Let's wait for Reform to get in, then we can all remember the good old days when Boris was fucking everyone over and Starmer was kicking the disabled.

Not sure Labour supporters will answer that. But no it’s a mess.

Where are you reading that? When you don’t read properly and spout rubbish, the answer is not to double down.

In 4 years time we wil, be back where we started 15 years ago when they last left. Another note will be left at the treasury

there is no money

I don’t usually use derogatory terms for women but Rachel from accounts is driving us to the brink

Agree with all of this. Plus the chronic short termism lurching from one term to election earing into the next caused by FPTP.

Nice try. You tell me why you think they’ll deliver utopia. After all you’re the one who intends voting for them.

No they came in strong but have backtracked on almost everything other than the tax rises. Now we have more tax rises to come. So disappointed. It leaves no other options. Tories are too weak, Labour too weak, lib dems will just add more carriages to the gravy train. Reform is the only option left.

They're fascistic.

The problem is Labour’s policies are impacting growth. Which means cuts and / or tax rises.

It’s why they’ve tried and failed to get this bill passed. Now they’ll still need to make cuts etc as they haven’t saved what they wanted.

Apparently there is a massive party on the gravy train tonight.

Based on their tenure so far, would you call Labour a success?
