      Starmer is a Tory in red. Going to be funny seeing all the labour voters over the next few years come to the realisation that our choice of votes is either Blue Tory or Red Tory. Maybe people will finally stop incentivising the duopoly by voting so “the other team doesn’t win”, and actually start voting for parties they agree with instead.

      That’s wealth creation for the 1% – not for us plebeian masses; we get more austerity and crackdowns

      Not sure how to interpret this, and Reddit’s copium takes aren’t exactly great. I had an epiphany last week that this entire country does not want to be a high skill high wage economy, where we aren’t taxed to the bone just to prop up massive state spending and ailing services.

      We are a country primarily of people that don’t want to do much work, and want more for it, and they want more than they contribute in tax too, you can’t run a massive state with people of that mentality. What we now have is a heavily taxed professional class where emigration and layoffs could weak havoc with our state finances and a significant portion of the country not net contributors from what stats have been flying around recently.

      I’m all for raising the 40% tax band, why should I pay so much tax for services I am unlikely to see? Either we need to reduce spending significantly or become a lot more productive.

      PAYE professionals aren’t the bourgouise despite what Reddit thinks.

      >Page search results for “housing”: 0 results found

      Yeah, not getting my vote. If you’re not interested in housing then 1) you’re not interested in the economy and 2) you have nothing to offer me.

      (Maybe there’ll be more in the manifesto but I’m not confident.)

      Only on Reddit would a politician saying they want to grow the economy be a controversial thing to say

      The Electorate: “And how will you grow the economy, Keith?”

      Starmer: [staring blankly] “My father was a tool maker…”

      as ever its unclear how precisely they mean to do this, considering they have very little interest in any capital spending (GB energy is a drop in the bucket in terms of the renewable market). presumably they’ll trot out some pablum about “deregulation” or “reform” without specifying precisely what will change
