  1. Corbyn's Labour did indeed have a "fully costed manifesto". But the Murdoch/Tory press still caused alarmism about it anyway... All the neoliberals want to promote austerity.

  2. That's terrible! (Are you writing to your MP, whether Tory, Labour or Lib Dem? Please do.)

  3. 💯💯 As Karl Marx said, "the reserve army of labour", aka the unemployed. Only really made full use of when the nation is at war, or something like that..

  4. Both the US and the UK MUST get over "first past the post"! 😠 We all need Proportional Representation.

  5. Rachel Reeves has no clue and no plan!

  6. We couldn't even consider doing anything like this in the UK (luckily): because we make practically nothing here any more, and most of our famous firms are now foreign-owned. 😏 But I bet the US voters won't like all that inflation in the pipeline! It's not just cars: most of the stuff they have in WalMart (and dollar stores, and Target) comes from China! Is he going to tax all the goods from China? As other YouTubes have explained, it's not the Chinese that pay tariffs, it's the importers and ultimately the consumers! Why was he lying about bringing DOWN inflation in the US, and why did people believe him? 😏 Why does he want to cause a recession, and will anybody stop him?😏

  7. Wow. Just wow! I suppose THEN they'll expect our government to bail them out, just like in 2008...😏

  8. Yes. The MPs have been getting regular pay rises for years! (Ever since they got exposed over the "expenses scandal". And they still get tons of expenses anyway!)
    11
  9. Another problem! (Which could be easily solved. And they can pay a development fee, too, towards improving the infrastructure.)
    11
  10. Because nobody likes it? Except for rich people, who don't care.

  11. 💯💯

  12. All true. End austerity!

  13. Yeah. Selling off the family silver. 😏 It was called that, even in her day.

  14. I watch Gary's Economics! 🙂

  15. Exactly! That and overpriced utilities. 💯

  17. 💯 Yes. You're right. When the principles of Keynesianism were explained to my journalism class in the early 1990s, practically every student nodded their head and agreed that those seemed like sound ideas. 🙂👍

  18. Get rid of Rachel Reeves!

  19. @CurtOntheRadio  Starma Labour isn't Scandinavia though ...

  20. ​@indricotherium4802 It is no longer the Labour Party. Starmer and goons got rid of the whole concept of "the broad church".

  21. Sounds like classical Keynesiasm! (And good so!)

  22.  @jeremykille4689  You must be! 😏

  23. ​@fredfredrickson5436 No, not really...We want rail, mail and energy too! 🙂

  27.  @steveb3060  But nor much good for PR..

  28. Yes. It is difficult to think of a world without plastics. I have heard though that you can make biodegradable ones from plants...

  29. That sounds like a good idea, Richard! 🙂👍 (But will Starmer's Labour listen?)

  30. @mikecook1537  Well no: they're partnerships, like solicitors. Not " companies".

  31. @petyrkowalski9887  Well then maybe someone OTHER than the "two cheeks of the same backside" will be elected to power! 🤞

  32. @andyinsuffolk  More like they go and hoard it onthe Treasure Islands! 😏

  33. 😏💯

  34. Democratic socialism isn't "far left" anyway. The real problem is, the current political environment is pretty far right! 👎

  35. 👍🎇

  36. Well for prices to revert to what they were, you would need negative inflation...

  39.  @OneAndOnlyMe  Hmm...

  40. @Hickalum  Not everyone has nice neighbours or children. We need something that applies to EVERYONE. Like universal salvation! 🙂

  41. No. But we must end greedy profiteering. This has been achieved during wartime: so let's do it now!

  42. That might be a problem... Farage is looking much too perky!

  43. ​ @michaelmayo3127 How is it "abuse", to consume normal things normally? (You'd have to be a George Best, to make it "abuse". 😏)

  44. Which means they can't be voting for Nigel Farage!

  45. ​ @IMBlakeley Indeed! 💯😏

  46. ​@gpw203 You can't have left-wing fascists. Fascism came out if right-wing politics in Italy.

  47. ​@johnwright9372 Yes. Well a REAL Labour government would tackle that!

  48. Precisely! All I want to know, is what they DO with that tax, when they receive it?

  49. You need to appeal!

  50. Sounds good to me!! (It's called MMT, Modern Monetary Theory, isn't it?? 🙂)
