To feel utterly miserable about a future with Andy Burnham as PM?

[OneWarmHazelQuail]

I feel like I'm being stung in every possible way at the moment- £15 a day on tube to work, high mortgage costs, high energy costs, private schooling for SEN child (I was told state wouldn't be unlikely to assist him as he isn't mute or violent). My parents have had to help fund schooling it felt like my only hope as son has behavioural issues.

I also have an unsold old home that I have to rent out as it wouldn't sell. Buy-to-let mortgage costs, agent fees, maintenance and tax put me in a loss position.

I can't bear what the future holds with Andy Burnham. I have no doubt that he will find new and imaginative ways to keep me in this financial nightmare. I'm literally struggling from food poverty but regarded as rich by policy.

YABU- Andy Burnham is actually going to make things better

YANBU- I'm screwed

That’s a shame for her but her post is about money and Burnham.

And more if you read her posts.

@ZenNudist agree with every word. " Austerity" was made up nonsense. Belt tightening for the greater good.....I don't think so.

💯 agree @thepariscrimefiles

I’ve read her posts.

There are people struggling to feed their children. Losing their homes because they can’t afford them.

This is exactly it. I think we've started to look at PM the way Americans look at a president - but we have to remember we have a whole series of people in charge and our daily lives are dictated by systems and structures not one individual PM.

But it takes long term strategy to make real changes to those big unweidly systems, so people are quick to say 'well this PM isn't working let's get another one'

Sorry to hear this. It sounds as if you have been very sensible and have the resilience to get through.

Revenge

Read all my posts. Will add some context

Well apparently austerity was something about the EU rules at that time ?

Agree on much of this. And having a lunatic in charge of the most powerful country in the world isn't helping.

@thepariscrimefiles that's terrible.

Is there a chance one can be created now?

Any house will sell at the right price.

You may lose money on it, but you're doing that at the moment.

Op you don’t need to justify why you are feeling so desperate, any one that can read can see why you are dreading what Labour are going to do next. Many pp haven’t taken the time to research Burnham and his background. If they did they would be far more alarmed than they are.

Such drama!

Yes, your life will be utterly miserable under Burnham, because you've already decided it's going to be, before the man's even unpacked his box.

People like you are the problem with British politics. I WANT THINGS BETTER FOR SPECIFICALLY ME, NOOOOOOOOOOOW!

No matter what he does, you'll look for and leap on the bad. You should probably emigrate now. It's going to be dreadful for you.

I will use more in one go. Problem is that I am not able to cover more loss. A smaller loss each month is more possible than a big one via a sale

The problem is we the public would rather keep our heads in the sand than face the fact that the country is skint, and so anyone who actually tries to address the issues is universally loathed and booted out.

Take Keir. Yesterday there was a disability campaigner saying how terrible he was threatening to take her pip away.

Why should people accept a lower standard of living or quality of life why should they vote for that?

The money is all still there - it’s just that it’s in the bank accounts and assets of the extremely rich.

In the UK, the richest 56 people now hold more wealth than 27 million combined which represents 39% of the population (fact, you can google).

Absolutely outrageous! It’s disgraceful. Why should we accept this? Why should we?

Who is going to pay for all this welfare if everyone that can decides to actually leave?

People like you, who constantly live in the past of Tory governments are a bigger problem. Just look at all this fawning over one man. It's Corbyn ooh Jeremy all over again. Fuck the women.

Where is the children’s father in all of this? What is he doing to help make things better?

Rich people like that will move their money to tax havens whether a Labour government introduces a wealth tax for people with over £10 million or not. The richer people are, the easier it is for them to use tax avoidance specialists to move their wealth off-shore while still being resident in the UK. These are normally right-winger who call themselves 'patriots'.

that old house will sell for the right price

higher energy costs - blame the profiteering energy companies

the mortgage costs are also not set by the government

You talk about private educated SEN child - well I rather think that’s the kind of stupidity that people like burnham want to fix

She can sell her two houses, use the equity from both of them to go mortgage free and ask her rich mummy and daddy to pay for private school for a while.

Could we pl stop kicking the OP when she's down? She's in severe distress because of her SEN child.

I am not sure your problem is Burnham. Farage would be worse for those getting PIP or similar, no? But either way, you need help. Hope you get it.
