Are you glad you voted Labour ?

[Noangelbuthavingfun]

Sir Keir is firmly in his new seat and appears to be making waves... winter fuel, VAT on private school fees, UEFA watchdog type scenario, budgets... increase in CGT, 20% increase for Jr doctors, immigration learnings from Italy to pay other countries to take Immigrants and that's only what I briefly followed.
So my question is - are you still glad you voted Labour, or that they are in Power if you didn't? And what if you are not happy anymore - why ?
I'm on the fence so trying to be objective ;-)

I will. It will never ever happen

YES, definitely glad I voted Labour!

What have they done to disabled people in the fourteen weeks they've been in power ? Have I missed something?

In what way?

It’s only been 5 minutes so we need to give them a chance, but yes I am definitely happy I voted Labour.

No. There legacy is going to be yet more destruction and possibly a brain drain

Yes, changes are needed after years of inept government. Some of these changes will be unpopular to some but we have to look at the bigger picture. The NHS and public sector are on their knees and the repair of these services is going cost money.

I didn’t vote for them but I would love to know how, with all these measures, they plan to grow the economy.

I didn’t vote for them but I’m
pleased they are in.
The getting rid of one word OFSTED judgements is a good start. I’ve heard whispers that the curriculum is being looked at which I hope will be positive. If they could overhaul the racket that is the “accredited phones schemes” I’ll be thrilled.

@FrogFreg

first four years🤣.

By the time we've had 4 years of them (god help us), the vast majority will not vote them back in!

Yep , things are looking better

Yes.

I'm also delighted that no matter how many whingy pro-Tory threads we have, we don't have to vote again for literally years so they're shouting into the abyss.

Yes

First time I didn’t vote Labour in my life. I’m happy with my decision. Punishing pensioners is a new low.

I think the question to ask is why they won’t release details of the 22b ‘black hole’. I reckon it’s because a large part of that will be the public sector pay rises they've done since in office.
I have little respect for them not taking accountability for the changes they’ve made and saying they’ve been forced to do so by the Tories. I’m glad I don’t have elderly relatives who can’t afford fuel this winter.
I’m afraid the pay rises will cause more sectors to strike now they’ve seen how easily the new govt will give in. I fear we’re cycling through the 70s & 80s again and that was a shambles last time.
I’m also amazed there only been one single article about the almost complete freeze of defence funding that has happened since they’ve entered office. At a time of great political unrest in the east - they are working hard to cover that up!

So far they've not crashed the economy, nor have they partied during a national lock down, nor have they taken money from a racist

So they're definitely better than the Tories, and lets face it, we essentially have a two party system.

Anyone who is happy with this Labour government is either a liar or so blinded by polarised party politics they can’t bring themselves to admit the truth.

They are a complete disaster and will destroy the country due to their warped ideology and financial illiteracy.

@Slobberchops1

in what way??

You are many going to get many Labour voters admitting they regret it. They're as virtuous and tribal as they come

Yes I voted for them - yes I'm pleased so far and yes I'd vote for them again.
They are sorting things out and although the WFP issue needs some further work to make sure those pensioners just above the limit can cope - carrying on paying it to everyone had to stop.

Yes. Sick of these threads - Tory interns working overtime.

I do like the deep inspection the party seems to be making and hoping they come with a clear plan instead of empty promises but I think the black hole rethoric is tired now and an easy thing to say (for any party taking over )

Yes.
Next thread please.

It feels like they will target the middle. Let’s see.
