Thoughts on Starmer’s speech?
Own view is that it was woefully inadequate. Talk of ‘dark forces’ and ‘dark paths’ is fear mongering unless he elaborates. Talk of getting a better deal just don’t trust. Milliband in charge of energy given his fervour for renewables will only increase bills. Closer ties with Europe ignores the message sent by voters on what they want.
End of day nothing but talk, yet working families taxed higher than at any time since 2nd World War, on his watch. Those with broadest shoulders are not bearing the brunt. Anti-business taxation only kills growth further. The economy has never recovered post 2008 crash and for one I have zero faith in Starmer or his colleagues (or main stream parties) to fix it.
He talks of every young person achieving their potential yet only have to look at Student Loan debt in England to see education open to all in the same way as the Ritz Hotel. Middle earning renters are between rock & hard place. Fiscal drag on personal allowances and wage growth mean we are all worse off and working for less.
Tired of politicians who don’t know what it is to work and struggle to make ends meet, giving their platitudes… tell us exactly what you are going to do when and stop treating the electorate like children, but not sure if that’s just me.
