Any Labour supporters feeling a little...

.... nervous?

The important point Blair makes is that pretty much EVERYONE is anxious post Covid and post Brexit. And it includes rich pensioners, for example. So further division is a bad bad idea. What they need to do is unify and grow.
One way of doing that is deregulation across financial services (let the financial conduct authority make decisions more easily/quicker), get rid of massive amounts of red tape in both health and education. Scrapping Ofsted scrutiny just the first example of that. If teachers have to mark every scribble in pink or green they can’t actually teach. Same applies to doctors etc.

The same man who introduced Mickey Mouse degree courses…

@ALT72 - are you anxious?

You really have no clue that things are going to get worse under Labour.

I'll be honest I'm worried about what this government is going to do especially if it drives people towards the far right. People just desperately want change and hope.

If Starmer doesn’t listen and hold his hand up that he has got it badly wrong about axing the Winter Fuel Payment then he won’t last 5 minutes as a PM!

The projected state pension increase will more than cover the loss of the WFA, and the price cap is lower this winter than last. The sky is not falling.

I would like to see proper means testing of the WFA, but accept that would be too costly. Meanwhile, working age and disabled people have been hammered with cuts for 14 years. Time everyone shares the pain and nobody is shielded.

No it does not. Energy prices is projected to go up from October plus prices on food etc are still going up! The pension rise barely covers this!

And everyone else is in exactly the same boat. There's never been protection for the disabled or the low paid. Why should only the old be shielded from the tough times?
