[TheNuthatch]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Welcome.

Sounds plausible. Its not my version of utopia. Its financial and societal breakdown.

Crikey. Another one? I suppose that's what you get when you fix the vote.

Yup.
France is fucked.

The Fabian way

Exactly 💯

UK gilts are moving higher.

Currently 100 bps plus dependent on maturity.

Have that Reeves.

I think it’ll be added to a load of things. It is here without thought to the electorate, manifesto or anything.

I concur with @TheNuthatchon loathing them.

And people keep posting about ever higher spending.

Just watching Victoria Atkins at conference. She wearing a union jack blazer, and has dozens of farmers behind her holding 'Starmer the farmer harmer' signs. Love it 😀

So id to buy. Will it be id to rent though. Or Airbnb?

So is Holland. I've just seen an anti Israeli march in Amsterdam. Tens of thousands of protesters.

There's a vote on October 14th to reduce rice production. Methane issues apparently. We're not talking about slapping steak on a plate but a basic food stuff for tens of millions.

More consequences of the renters rights bill. Landlords increasingly turning towards accepting long term contracts to house asylum seekers to avoid the consequences of the bill. Reducing housing stock even further.

Sickness benefit….

Blimey, he didn't wait long before expanding the remit, did he?

So much for non-mandatory?

What other intentions is he still hiding?

I think we've all said it in some way or another, George Orwell would not like the idea that he had foretold the future.
I knew there would be further embellishments added to this ID card nonsense

It's almost like it was engineered😠

There’s nothing to stop him adding pretty much anything. You don’t have to have it but you can’t do anything in modern life anywhere. Easy as pie to write those three words in. Orwell 1984, well done Labourites.

Blimey. Fiscal incontinence indeed.

That is shocking.

@upseedaisee I think you are right, and I should also stop looking at the news media….

In the run up to the budget it might be good for all of us to cut news a bit - endless speculation on tax rises and it’s so wearing.

My friend works for a council who are responsible for the engineering. She's moving thet family to a home off grid practically.

Almost 25,000 pupils have been forced out of private schools since Labour came into power, new figures show.

A survey of 1,150 private schools showed a decline of 16,696 pupils since last September – equivalent to 3.6pc – according to the Independent Schools Council (ISC).

The previous year’s poll saw a decline by 8,233 pupils after Sir Keir Starmer vowed to impose 20pc VAT on “day one” of a Labour Government.

Julie Robinson, chief executive of the ISC, told The Telegraph: “The decline in pupil numberssince the general election is now at least 25,000 – over eight times the fall the Government predicted by this point.

Thats only a 200 mn quid per annum cost to the state….

Amd that's only ISC schools. There's another 1000 unaccounted for.
The 8000 decline quoted was in Sept 24.
