To be worried about what the Labour government will do next?

[Scenicgirl]

Let's be honest, Labour has been a massive disappointment for this country, pissing off the pensioners with taking away the WFA, the farmers, NI changes which impact employers, immigration etc and today refusing compensation to the WASPI women after they ridiculed the Conservatives when they didn't commit to a solution. Don't we deserve better than this constant shit show of lies and deceptions which were clearly spouted out purely to gain power?
For the 1st time in my life, I worry about where we are heading.

Soarksflied and your point is?

Yes they are private companies AND?

My point is I'm simply fucked off with them - emotional!

We bloody don't.
Thank feck she and her Gov are out.

Pensions being taxed!

The first time in your life you are worried? Where have you been during 14 years of Tory Austerity, incompetence and corruption?

To say nothing of the utter shit show which is Brexit. There's no magic solution to all that. It will take time and patience. Not some crazed lurch to the even further Right.

Patience - how much time have you left?

You mean pensions being liable for a tax that’s only applicable after you’re dead? There’s an easy way round that - spend it during the retirement you saved it for.

Blossomtoes - no I mean exactly what I said, not what you said. 🤟

What you said makes no sense.

Blossomtoes - I don't want to spent it, I want to transfer MY WEALTH how I see fit.

So who then?

She's not perfect by any means, but at least she knows what a woman is, the importance of protecting single sex spaces and the dangers gender ideology presents to kids.

I'm more worried about Elon musk giving £1 million to farage and reform

How will policies from Labour shrinking the private sector help?

It's the first time this asset has been taxed and this is only since 2015 when pensions were freed up. Before then you had to buy annuities and couldn't bequeath them anyway

Precisely. I can’t get exercised about a tax that’s only applicable after I’m dead. And if our kids aren’t happy with a share of a tax free windfall of £1 million, our parenting is really fucked up.

Yes, that's much more worrying I agree.

No, not worried. They are trying to sort out the drastic underfunding of NHS, education and care services that the Tories virtually destroyed.
A minority in this country can afford to use private medical, education and care, but the vast, vast majority use state provision and have seen the Tories run them to the ground.
It takes courage to try and sort out the mess the Tories left. Labour have been brilliant trying to fix things. I’m really positive about what they are doing.

This.

Yeah. BREXIT.

What I said makes perfect sense. Your pension now gets taxed through inheritance tax. Very simple! If your happy for that to happen when your 10 feet under, great, I'm not. You stick with your great give away parenting and I'll stick with mine - protecting my hard earned money to pass onto my kids.

What you said makes no sense.

Yes it is the market - YES I agree. I'm getting dizzy going around in circles ✌️

You said we should just 'let the markets do their thing'. And then said you were fed up with polluting water companies. I just wanted to point out that the problem with the water companies is an example of markets 'doing their thing'. They are making huge profits for their shareholders and are not held accountable for pouring sewage in the sea. Surely this is one area where we need more government intervention not less

Yawn 🥱

Yes they are private companies AND?
They're a stellar example of what happens when you let the market do its thing with essential services.

So they’ve pissed off WASPI women now, just to add to the list. Hypocrisy and betrayal are the words that come to mind, after Labour gave full support to these women, when they were in opposition.
