If Labour were to come into power tomorrow, what is it people think they would do better?

Not what Labour governments of the past have done.. I mean Labour 2022. What would be new/better?

They are here, @mum2jakie.

At the moment pretty much everything. Tories aren't doing anything apart from making life shit for millions of people and trying to save their incompetent leader.

They are literally doing nothing, so even if Labour just turned up to work to water the plants that would still be a massive improvement.

Wizzbangfizz · 05/02/2022 22:09

Absolutely nothing

wafflyversatile · 05/02/2022 22:07

They'd be slightly less bad than the Tories. They'd still be shit though. Centrist fucking dad party. Welcome a Tory mp but reject Corbyn. Cunts.

Hmm. I found it very easy to Google Labour manifesto ,and find the 100 page document where they laid out their plan for the last election. Presumably, times changing and whatnot, they’ll come up with an updated manifesto for a future election. But I have a pretty good idea of what their priorities are.

@mum2jakie

Couldn't do much worse than the current self serving lying bunch of fools in government, surely?

Not being fucking corrupt.

That'll do for me.

@JackieCollinshasnoauthority

Labour are in power, thankfully.
Eh? Not here they aren't!
Mundra · 05/02/2022 21:58

Or you could just clarify what you meant Hmm

JackieCollinshasnoauthority · 05/02/2022 21:56

@Mundra

No. I am trying to work out what you're implying, because I'm not certain.
Yet again something most adults could Google im sure.

TracyMosby · 05/02/2022 21:50

@Mundra

Meaning?
Are you kidding? Seriously?
TracyMosby · 05/02/2022 21:50

i mean, for those of you above who simply have no idea what labour party policies are, did you try googling ‘labour party policies’?

id vote for Larry the cat before the tories.

Mundra · 05/02/2022 21:43

Meaning?

TracyMosby · 05/02/2022 21:41

@Mundra

Increased tax and increased borrowing.
Do you ever switch on the news? Hmm
Ladywoodster · 05/02/2022 20:55

Whatever they do or don't do, I would feel heartened that the population had seen through and rejected all that has happened over the last 2/3 years. I might have some respect for my fellow countrymen again. Something to be optimistic about, that's what I want. I still remember she sheer joy and disbelief of booting the Tories out '97 - and they were hated just as much as this government - a fresh start, a different way.

Emanchego · 05/02/2022 20:46

Labour not corrupt 🤣

IpanemaPeaHen · 05/02/2022 20:44

Yet Sunak is raising taxes isn’t he not labour.

EngTech · 05/02/2022 20:43

All depends on what their policies are?

That is assuming I knew what they actually were 😳😳😳

Zonder · 05/02/2022 20:42

Labour under KS would bring a bit of honesty and integrity. And compassion for the poor.

Mundra · 05/02/2022 20:39

Increased tax and increased borrowing.

3cats4poniesandababy · 05/02/2022 20:37

This is what concerns me about labour. I have no idea of their policies- they only ever comment after an event/policy goes wrong and say "we wouldn't have done that' but never tell me what should have been done and only comment with hindsight. It is all locking the door after the horse has bolted.

I am a strong Conservative voter but would be swayed at the moment if I could see a promising alternative. Unfortunately the opposition is weak and that is neither good for Labour themselves or for the population of the UK.

@MissAmbrosia

Wealth taxes. Removal of VAT on energy. Not being fucking corrupt.
This

Not a fan of Keir Starmer at all but GETTING THE TORIES OUT should surely be a priority for people by now- they've shown who they care about and it's not us! Unless any millionaires/ billionaires are hanging around on here.

FourTeaFallOut · 05/02/2022 20:33

VAT on energy wouldn't touch the sides. It's 5%, the cap is going up 54% in April and a probable 20% in October.
