If Labour were to come into power tomorrow, what is it people think they would do better?

Not what Labour governments of the past have done.. I mean Labour 2022. What would be new/better?

@Mundra

No. I am trying to work out what you're implying, because I'm not certain.
Yet again something most adults could Google im sure.
JackieCollinshasnoauthority · 05/02/2022 21:56

Labour are in power, thankfully.

Mundra · 05/02/2022 21:58

Or you could just clarify what you meant Hmm

Eh? Not here they aren't!

Not being fucking corrupt.

That'll do for me.

@mum2jakie

Couldn't do much worse than the current self serving lying bunch of fools in government, surely?
This

Hmm. I found it very easy to Google Labour manifesto ,and find the 100 page document where they laid out their plan for the last election. Presumably, times changing and whatnot, they’ll come up with an updated manifesto for a future election. But I have a pretty good idea of what their priorities are.

They'd be slightly less bad than the Tories. They'd still be shit though. Centrist fucking dad party. Welcome a Tory mp but reject Corbyn. Cunts.

Wizzbangfizz · 05/02/2022 22:09

Absolutely nothing

At the moment pretty much everything. Tories aren't doing anything apart from making life shit for millions of people and trying to save their incompetent leader.

They are literally doing nothing, so even if Labour just turned up to work to water the plants that would still be a massive improvement.

JackieCollinshasnoauthority · 05/02/2022 23:55

They are here, @mum2jakie.

So where's here?

Men would finally get their way by erasing women that is what will be new. We will cease to exist.

minipie · 06/02/2022 00:48

Literally not being the current lot would be good enough for me. At least as a start.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 06/02/2022 01:01

Increased tax and increased borrowing.

You mean compared to the Tories having doubled the national debt ( they actually borrow more than Labour, despite what they tell us) and taking taxes to a 70 year high ( according to the Torygraph)?

You are hilarious.

Bit dramatic.

@frecklesmalone

Sir Keir was then asked: “Is it transphobic to say only women have a cervix?”

He said: “It is something that shouldn’t be said, it is not right.”

When the leader of a party cannot even get basic biology right what hope do you have

He believes trans women have a cervix which even the NHS say they don't hence why they don't need cervical screening

Its not dramatic at all. I do not wish to be referred to those awful terms cos or a menstruating person etc. I'm a woman.

I won't vote for anymore party that eradicates that.

Lolamento · 06/02/2022 07:38

They will bring more hate and division. As seen with AR and David Lammy every time they open their mouth. Most of them will be as useless as Sadiq Khan. They will be still blaming the Tories and will tax the middle class to death. The world situation and adjustment after COVID will not sort it out by them. As this is obviously not a U.K. problem but worldwide.

That is how you end like Venezuela 🙄

Tax rise and scrap the NI rise
Remove Vat on fuel
And if anything like their councils close every fucking road to cars.

That's what the Tories bring, this thread was meant to be about Labour, not the current governments appalling mismanagement of the finances.
QuentininQuarantino · 06/02/2022 07:50

Presumably KS meant that transmen had a cervix?

I’m no fan of the “TWAW/menstruaters” movement but half the Labour front bench are women, the Tory policies disproportionately affect women by a huge degree on a general scale. I don’t understand not voting out the tories based on this one thing.

Redgreenbluehooray · 06/02/2022 07:52

Labour in charge in Wales for 22 years has gone so well.
Health service and education dire (worse than England) and eradicating women more important than sorting out the big stuff. Incompetent and hellbent on pushing ideology.

God help us if they get in at at UK level although I agree the Tories are a bunch of lying bastards too.

Theworldisfullofgs · 06/02/2022 07:55

Increased tax and increased borrowing.

A: that's a lazy trope
B: that's what the Tories have been doing.

Yeah have to agree. They need a leader and policies which actually reflects the ethos the Labour Party was founded on. KS is too much of a flip flop, his rebuttals as leader of the opposition are weak and sometimes petty rather than bringing anything new to the table. They'd be better than the current government no doubt, but they aren't a labour party I recognise, and the bar is exceptionally low.
