Two Tier’s days are numbered

The chances of anything depend on what the rich decide. Normally, the British vote as Mr Murdoch instructs. However there are hints that Musk may be planning to buy our next election.

Are you saying that we should stop offering asylum to asylum seekers?

Or are you saying we should process asylum applicants faster and remove those who don't have a valid claim to asylum?

And I appreciate that Reform and the Tories have done a brilliant job persuading ordinary people that all their problems are the fault of immigrants - the vast majority of whom came here by invitation and who are working and paying taxes, but I'm wondering what you think will get much better once we 'get rid of' some of the most productive tax paying people in the country.

It is a total mess. BUT I’m not sure what alternative there is? Reform - absolutely not. The conservatives look pathetic (I so wish they would get their act together), what’s left?

Starmer and Reeves have never recovered from WFA and the first budget. Increases to NI, the IHT tax for farms and family businesses and Non dom changes. It was a raft of changes that almost immediately choked growth. Couple that with the U turns and Starmer looks like he doesn’t have the metal to push through the tough changes - changes we almost certainly need.
In many way I don’t disagree with him - but he has been weakened by early mis steps.

No it’s the least of his issues

😆 🤣 true

Ahh...1998 ...a.golden period before our borders were opened...

Reform can’t even run a local council meeting within fucking it up so your hopes for them running the country are naive at best, financially suicidal at worst. One of the councillors went to one meeting and said he should quit now he’s achieve his goal because actually running stuff is boring.

Quite why everyone expected a Labour - or any - party to achieve miracles in one year after 14 years of systemic Tory fuckery, is beyond me. People mentioning sticky fingers in troughs - Michelle Mone, PPE contracts for mates, anyone?

I didn’t vote Labour and with their pivot to the right, never will again but all this ‘oh they are ruining the country with their tax breaks! Oh they are freezing the pensioners! Oh they are running the rich out of this country! Ugh why aren’t they punishing the disabled more the bastards!’ Is lazy and tired.

Farage hasn’t done an honest days work in his life and being an MP has not changed that. If you think running the country will interrupt his schedule of doing fuck all except self promotion and race baiting, I have some magic beans to sell you, with a free bridge thrown in,

You talk about people with no experience running the country meanwhile an 18 year old Reform councillor is crying to mummy over a pride flag being flown at a town hall.

I neither know nor care either you are being disingenuous or thick @Jennps but you are obvious.

Not bringing in low skilled workers and getting own low skilled workers into those roles. There is no reason hospital cleaners etc should be British.

I thought the judges in the ECHR have the final say on who stays and who goes...sure looks like it anyway.....

At this point, does it matter?

Anyone who thinks leaving the ECHR is a good idea is blinded by the very freedoms that it provides.

For any parent, go and read the case: A v. United Kingdom (1998)

What savings?

Fuck me, I wouldn’t mind swinging an axe at Nigel

We need Nigel in power as soon as possible. He will swing the axe we need to the size of the state. That will get all those reliant on Nanny state back to looking after themselves.

Stopping illegal immigration.

Reducing numbers of legal migration significantly. Ie the huge tick.in immigration was due to Boris Johnson. Increase the time.period before people get indefinite leave to remain which should hopefully kick some of the benefits Bill can down the road.

Better asylum system.

Now Labour are going after their savings.

The ECHR doesn't prevent countries from controlling their borders or deporting individuals.

How do you ‘speak to companies’?

What does "sorting out immigration" look like to you?

Were (sic) a year in, and labour have achieved precisely nothing.

Not true.

Your ageism does you no credit.

The idea, heavily promoted by the government, that the welfare state could fail is economically illiterate. It really is time we moved on from the Thatcherite view of the national economy as household budget. It's just used for political obfuscation, to scare people into accepting policy against their own and society's best interests.

If Starmer sorts out immigration fundamentally and the economy he may be in with a chance. The two top issues according to polls. He won't sort immigration out though because the only way that can be achieved properly is leaving the ECHR which he won't do. So Labour will lose. Then it's Reform on current polls.

lols - the last 5 or 6 Tory PM's, all said the same stuff, 'The mess we inheriated from labour, etc etc' even in the election build up, it wasn't until Kier called Rishi out on this during a live debate about it, and he (rishi) went for it agian, and again Kier said 14 years youve had to sort this mess and you're blaming the last goverment, I think he forgot just how long the Tories had been in power and utterly messed it up. the tories dropped this stance a few days later as they saw what a uttler stupid thing it was to say after being in power for nearly 15 years!

12 months is nowhere near enough time to start making waves.

Exxon have been reducing their European workforce since 2020, so wherever news you saw yesterday is a long time in the making.

High energy costs predate this government and are, in large part, due to our reliance on imported natural gas, the markets and lack of storage capacity.

The outlook for the UK is not good at the moment, but to pretend it’s all been brought about by not quite 12 months of Labour is absolute bollocks.

Honestly, I think he will hang on as Labour don’t defenestrate their leaders, and asset tax is coming in Autumn. What yesterday showed is that Labour won’t cut the welfare state, so Reeves has to look at tax, which is going to be on assets not income.
