What’s expected to happen if Labour wins the next election?

[User5512]

What changes do we “normal people” expect to see? Better nhs? More taxes?

This and @ElevenSeven pp most likely

A stop to our decline.

The UK is a mess after 13 years of Conservative incompetence, corruption and chaos. If they are re-elected we will decline further.😬

Doesn't matter who we vote for, they're all cut from the same cloth

Whilst the Labour Party are promising greater funding of public services, I’d like to know where this funding is coming from. It either needs to come from increased taxes, decreased spending elsewhere, or borrowing. What are they planning? All I’ve heard so far is that they’re going to tax non doms and private schools. Both of those policies raise a relatively tiny amount. Where is the rest of the extra funding coming from?

Not much will change but at least they probably won't be as interested in the Tories at eroding everyone's human rights.

Sadly I suspect they will continue the phoney, unnecessary war on refugees, disabled people and the unemployed. But they might at least other drop time-wasting, stupid 'culture war' nonsense.

Probably the same as last time they will leave a note on a desk saying that they bankrupted the coffers
wish the Green Party would get it together
there’s just no one to vote for
labour will screw everything up just like Boris did

They’ll make a few changes. Everyone will moan.

The economy will do whatever global events cause it to do regardless of anything the government do but they will get the credit or blame. Everyone will moan.

They’ll lose a by-election or two and a few councils. Everyone will moan.

And so on ….. until the next general election about which everyone will moan.

Your actual life will not be affected except by global events and personal luck, but you’ll moan anyway.

The main change is what won't happen. Such as lining the pockets of friends.

Well, if we think there isn’t enough money being spent on eduction, NHS, etc etc, now with Labour it’ll be even worse and there will be more taxes on everyone

This. And NHS reform. And more money generally for public services. The poor buggers really have a mountain to climb after 14 years of the Tory shitshow. It really is a poison chalice.

With Keir Starmer at the head, absolutely nothing positive or remotely different from current Tory policy expect perhaps biological women being completely declassified as anything resembling a human being.

Education and health will hopefully become priorities

This and loss of free speech for some.
Incarceration for thought crime

The removal of women’s sex based rights and women arrested for correctly naming men as men

Private school fees + 20 percent. Meaning a lot of DC will have to go back into the already stretched state system.

Non Dom's lose their tax perks and will be forced to pay tax in the UK.

Levies put on energy companies.

Gender self identity. Even more males in female spaces.

Closer ties with EU. Something Cameron is already planning.

More public spending on services so likely even more borrowing as I can't see Labour putting up taxes after complaining to Tories about taxes being too high.

My biggest fear is that now I flatiron is finally coming down Labour will agree high pay increases for the public sector. They were telling Tories to agree higher wages at last round of pay negotiations. I think this would trigger inflation to spike again.

Section 21 will be scrapped immediately and EPC target will be put back at C for 2025. They will ignore fact that it is not cost effective to internally clad old Victorian houses and that doing so undermines their damp proofing. This will mean more LL will sell up so less btl houses for renter's.

Rent reforms again meaning their will be more LL selling up. Equals less private rentals.

I do think Labour will build more houses but that equals less green spaces.

They will accept more immigration.

They will probably put up benefits and possibly personal tax thresholds too. They have been frozen for a very long time.

Hopefully a Labour government won't be pouring cash into "projects" like Michelle Mone's yacht though.

People will stop saying that everything's going wrong because the evil Tories are in power and so it's definitely all their fault and start saying that everything's going wrong because the evil Tories were in power and so it's definitely all their fault. Also, destruction of the countryside and men in female changing rooms. Be nice if the almost certain failure of the Labour government to improve anything leads to the realisation that this political system isn't working and we therefore introduce about a better one, but that's probably rather unlikely.

Even Labour admits that they can’t wave a magic wand to fix it all

Haha, I can’t believe you naively think ANY of them give a shit about anyone other than themselves. Neither the tories or labour.

We'll have four years of blaming the Tories then possibly four more years of excuses ...

'There's a global economic issue'

' People wanted lower taxes, so we did.'

' we are committed to ensuring that our Balance of Payments makes us an attractive investment option.'

Then we'll start with the infighting, no confidence letters, previously hidden corruption scandals , inquiries that reveal wrongdoing and then we'll demand another Tory government.

I really wish PR was in place.

Tbf tories are still blaming labour now

More taxation. More immigration.

Lots of rhetoric about saving our NHS.

Women will lose the right to identify themselves as a sex class and lose single sex protections and spaces

Same old shit, different party, would be my prediction. Starmer will promise us all everything he thinks we want to hear. Probably without any finance plan, as normal. Then he will come into office, and revert to what Labour does best - over promise and under deliver. Middle England will be left out in the cold. The rich will be taxed to the hilt. The people who don’t want to work will be given every financial assistance possible. The unions will creep in. The country will fall heavily into debt. Illegal immigration will flourish and be worse than now (if that’s even possible). So, not a lot to look forward to. They don’t represent what I want, but nor do the Tories, so I guess I’m in a political wilderness.

I’m going to have a week long party and be very happy, that’s what.
