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?

I don't know. That shows how good their opposition is.

feellikeanalien · 05/02/2022 20:31

Don't know because I've no idea what their policies are except that they don't know what women are.

Well there wouldn’t be the NI rise for a start.

@TracyMosby

Are you saying you think bj is doing a good job? He is trustworthy? He isnt an embarrassment? We arent an embarrassment for allowing this shit show to continue?

At this stage id vote for the tellytubbies over the corruption that is the tory party and i dont even care if they do any better. It will be absolutely better just not having BJ and his self-serving crew in power.

Not at all. I'm asking what Labour would bring to the table..

@InCahootswithOrwell

There’s be much better protection for households and businesses against rising energy prices and lower fuel bills for a start. They almost certainly wouldn’t break the ministerial code on a weekly basis. They wouldn’t lie to parliament on an almost weekly basis Less corruption - I’d imagine that fewer deals to mates would be red flagged against international standards to protect corruption There’s be less Russian interference in U.K. government They probably wouldn’t have illegally prorogued parliament They wouldn’t be restricting access to voting They wouldn’t be chipping away at the foundations of U.K. democracy using statutory instruments in bills

There’s probably more, but that seems like enough to start with.

OP asked what they "would" do, not what they "could" or "should" do!

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

MissAmbrosia · 05/02/2022 19:39

I'm agog that people can look at the current shower of shite and think Labour would be worse. I am happy to give them a go.

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

Linguini · 05/02/2022 19:36

Fuck all.
