“Really wondering if the entire Labour cabinet have two brain cells to rub together…”
Nope.
A bunch of dimwits, with absolutely no business sense, but love to ‘bung’ the inefficient public sector £BNs, at the same time as blaming the previous government for a £22bn ‘blackhole’ – a completely made up number, ‘boosted’ by the ‘bung’ of huge pay rises.Reeves was supposedly going to be a competent chancellor, a breath of fresh air, but has already made a pig’s ear, by spooking the markets.
Mouthing off possible tax changes without proper assessments, so that some are likely to be reined in, before they’ve even become ‘actual’.Private sector already holding back investment, recruitment. Multi-millionaires who actually DO pay £bns in tax leaving the UK or planning to. And this exodus will really put a further strain on public finances.
Bunged their paymasters and public sector employees massive pay rises, without any strings attached, so productivity will remain a huge problem there. Train drivers given bumper pay rises with no changes to working practices – talk about buying future votes.
1st 100 days completed and i’m struggling to find anything positive to say.
And, not without notice, the electorate are already voting in their droves against Starmer’s ‘crowd’. Labour have lost a shedload of council by-elections over last few weeks.
The Stay-At-Home party must be feeling embarrassed for allowing the ‘shower’ power.

Absolute disgrace that the public sector should get those billions that were earmarked for Tory chums’ pockets.
As for P&O, the way they treated their workers is disgusting. If that’s how they want to operate then they can keep their money.
Is there any evidence that we would benefit from a foreign owned free port. Also, it was the northern free port that resulted in a catastrophic death of marine life although there was a pretty good cover up of that. I think it was Alex Cunningham* who publicised that, the MP that Cleverley described as a s******e.
Word on the street is that the 25% council tax reduction for single occupants will not be axed in the October budget. Which will be a relief to many.
The “relief” likely to be short-lived for the majority of council tax payees, Mike.
Why, you may ask?Because i reck the Socialist government will axe the 5% increase cap, currently applied to allowable CT annual increases. Councils who want a bigger increase than 5% have to hold a referendum with their CT residents, although there have been exemptions allowed by previous government for a few councils to go above the 5% cap.
Back in early July, just before the GE, The District Councils’ Network (DCN) said that ministers should increase council tax referendum limits to at least 10% in the next financial year, “as a first step to removing referendum limits altogether”.
Plus, rather than a complete revaluation of CT, i reck this government will introduce a couple of higher CT bands, for properties valued at, say £500k plus and £1m plus.

I know some councils have asked for the cap to be removed but not heard anything about it actually happening.Removal of the 25% discount = 33% increase for single occupants.
Clearly they’ll be vastly better off with it being kept and paying the same percentage increase everyone else does.
Of course Central Government could have funded councils properly all these years instead but we can’t be having that now can we?
