@willrelf1377 you can only deliver radical if you have the people behind you. My now dead parents voted for Atlee after the war then slowly switched to Con, the dysfunction during the 60s 70s left a lot of scars as did the Thatcher years on me

@Dragonsitter Marr gives me hope, the politicking to get here is painful, if you look into Starmer in detail he appears principled yet very pragmatic but utterly ruthless A story I heard the other day was that Sue Gray has banned WhatsApp and confiscated phones at shadow cabinet meetings and is being used as a sounding block as to how policy could be implemented successfully

@iangelling it's a feature of first past the post, the Cameron government's ruled on 36% of the vote, Johnson got 43% on the back of Corbyn, leveling up & breaking the brexit impas. Given he delivered nothing & Sunak has reversed his entire agenda there going t9 get the mother of all gubbins in the election

@matthewtrow5698 Back in 2015 the IMF called out Osborne's trickle down and Austerity as not working and that economic growth came from the bottom up and middle out. Major studies of 50 years of data have junked the Tories economic policies the only one sticking to them post 2010 was us everyone else has moved on. Starmer & Reeve aren't stupid they need money without raising the base rate of taxation so will have to dismantle decades of trickle down cr*p to do it.

@keithparker1346 the biggest block currently is planning, firms landbank, its grinding slow on essential grid roll out as well Just by changing to permissive development you could spur gdp growth and bank a second term Put new towns in the Tory seats that are left Just a thought

Between him becoming leader and now the Tories added 700 billion to national debt and jacked us out the EU causing a shortfall of 50 billion in tax revenues

 @totalvoid6234 what's your problem?

I hope so, were desperate for leadership after Boris and Corbyn the worst faces of Populism both at the same time

The whole of the MSM tries to paint labour as the worst

 @Matt-ou7tu whatever you think of Starmer he's his own man

@zSilverWingz let's be clear any form of economic recovery depends on not just big business buying into the Starmer project but expansion by SME'S Also the expansion of northern cities and the link up of Birmingham Manchester and Leeds with a east west link

@Matt-ou7tu Quote Tax cuts and deregulation don’t grow economies – investment does, both private and government. The OBR confirms that the investment multiplier is around three times greater than the tax multiplier.

 @khar12d8 Owen is an elite who lives in the corbynista bubble They dragged the labour party into electoral oblivion

@keithparker1346 since Starmer became Labour leader the Tories have spent 3/4 trillion and crashed tthe economy. People are afraid in the biggest cost of living crisis in UK history. You would need to go back to the Napolionic Wars to get anything comparable The last thing people want at this point in time is false hope

@keithparker1346 which manifesto pledge that he put to the country has he broken?

Do you understand what Neoliberalism is? Just using it as a slur I'd suggest you do some research on economics

@timwoodger7896 The IMF in 2015 called out Austerity + trickle down a failure in a major rebuke of Osborne's policies and a major study in 2020 dispelled the notion that NeoLiberal policies had any effect on growth bar widening the wealth gap. Both put increasing wealth and productivity at the bottom and middle as the answer to growth. Reeve has been over to the states looking at the Democrats green growth agenda, things will change The only country that stuck with the NeoLiberal agenda post 2010-12 was us

@timwoodger7896 If you get completely gubbed at an election do you stand there shouting at the Voters YOUR WRONG Or Do you listen to them and adjust your policies appropriately. Since Starmer became leader the Tories have added 700 billion to debt and crashed the economy people are rightly AFRAID so trust with the economy needs to be Earned before anything
