  1. If you follow neoliberal policies the economy will keep spiralling down, Thatcherism and Austerity have led us to this point. Why pursue power so ruthlessly to completely fail making the same economic mistakes that have lead us down this path with a never ending string of trickle down tax and policy decisions?

  2. The point of Starmer? Abandonment of trickle down supply side economics and free market fundamentalism embedded into every part of government policy The mission statements and approach are lifted from this book Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism By Mariana Mazzucato Over ULEZ and 2 child they have some real comms problems Sunak and Hunt have set in motion with the last budget and general policy an inevitability that the economy will get worse for the vast majority of people. Does Starmer fill me with hope No Does Sunak fill me with dread yes

  3. ​ @sirmeowthelibrarycat you'll not get a wealth tax through parliment or the general public without 1st showing your fiscally competent. It's a complete no no for the client media without political capital and trust it stands no chance. Personally I'd look at other ways of taxing wealth you can keep the tax base the same just dice the cake a different way and there is so much waste embedded into our government after 13 years of the Tories with dodgy contracts outsourcing tax breaks for their mates etc.

  4. ​@stanguy4491 no there not non of them will raise taxes but there's a huge range of options on how you keep the same tax base but slice it differently There's 13 years of trickle down tax and policy to rip out the system outsourcing consultancy the total Tory grift
