Popular Post chrisp65 Posted June 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Reduce or scrap student debt. Re establish a NHS dental service. Improve social care. Everyone in school leaves school with a basic ability in a second language. State and local home building schemes to higher than minimum standard without a right to buy. Invest in UK developed and manufactured insulation and renewable energy schemes. Build some infrastructure that doesn’t physically connect to London. Let towns vote on whether towns would want a nuclear power station. Including London. (edit: that was literally off the top of my head, obviously I’d need 3 years of focus groups to make sure it doesn’t upset red wall blue wall Waitrose floating voter demographic bollocks rather than have the courage of my own convictions and actually sell an idea to people) It’s genuinely **** simple and it depresses me immensely that the Labour Party appear scared of standing for anything specific. That Starmer has come out and said strikes shouldn’t inconvenience people. I mean, **** hell man, what are you for? What is your function?

Xann Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Servicing Boris and Sunak's debt. That's what's in store for the next administration. Because too many of the electorate voted for the robbery and the getaway, or didn't vote at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not one single entry in his register of Interests that shows as being registered late. It normally does, I looked up Jess Phillips register last week and that has quite a few marked as registered late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Actual rule breaking or a public perception of rule breaking - either is bad news for Starmer, he's meant to be whiter than white in his oft flogged self comparison to Bozza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
