  1. I don't know how old you are, but I'm old enough to have been around to see generational changes in politicians. The Labour Party has changed because of money, and that's why Reform UK and the Conservatives are no better either. I don't know what will follow this period of populist, entrepreneurial politics; that largely depends on our shared values, which wax and wane over time. We need fresh blood and an electoral system that doesn't deliver Horseshoe Politics. Whether the people will stop looking at their phones for answers and start talking to each other about what they value, and be prepared to work with one another, even if they don't agree on every point, will be decisive. Right now, they are content to try everything else except the right things to do. Thus, they get Horseshoe Politics. We should be pushing for proportional representation.

  2. Sorry, but that's bot talk, and catastrophizing curtesy of the Daily Wail talk. The idea that Labour are worse than the Tories is just wrong by any metric you care to use. What metric do you choose?

  3. How's the weather where you are? Did they give you a spelling test before you got the job?

  4. Private equity doesn't work that way. Sorry. Asset stripping has nothing to do with the banks. In fact, private equity is trying to replace them. Why private equity is less regulated than banks, so they can to the global money markets and get loans for "dry powder funds" as offshore entities to finance acquisitions. Banks are only the conduit. They are not the pump.

  6. Why do you think Richard or any Individual can tell what people want or think? Richard is offering a critique. So the first question is for us to answer, and that is, is what he says true? Then the next question is, if it is true, what should or can be done about it? Those are question we have to answer. Some people have leapt on Reform UK, and that's just wolves in sheep's clothing. New Labour are the sheep. No; the real question is what do you want? If you don't know, why are you asking someone else to tell what you should want? What are your priorities? They are the roots of whatever problems you have. And if you don't like your problems, then you have to look hard at your priorities. *You* might even have to change your priorities.
