Hmmm - have you ever thought that the "entire political class" is in the business of getting elected, and what you seem to want won't achieve that?

Just wondering.

This is the problem though isn't it? More interested in getting elected and lining their own pockets than acting in the best interests of the people they are supposed to represent. If that is what being elected is about then, yes, the entire political class needs re-evaluating, and maybe it is time for a change?

It's so odd that you are ok with this!?

Do you not want/expect more?

Isn't the Employment Rights Bill acting in the best interest of workers? Seems a very decent piece of legislation?

Unsurprised it wasn't mentioned on this thread yesterday

Penk came up on my For You tab on Twitter, completely missing the point on that. It started before he stopped posting on here, when he became what I'd call Brexit curious, but i think unintentionally he's become quite a Tory.

He was a Tory until fairly recently so I'd suggest not.

You realise you rabid left wingers aren't the only moral bastions on the planet?

Labour’s carbon-capture scheme will be Starmer’s white elephant: a terrible mistake costing billions | George Monbiot

The supposedly green project – brainchild of the previous Tory government – will increase emissions, not reduce them, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Labour MPs urge Reeves to spend tens of billions more on ailing public services

About 70 colleagues have written to chancellor ahead of budget pleading for her to commit to rewriting fiscal rules

[Del Woppio]

There's been far too much written and talked about regarding a redesign of the 'fiscal rules' for there to be nothing in it, I think.

 

[Tony Towner]

If this is true then what a fuck up

What a shit show.

Surely they can just quickly close that loop hole, is it that simple?

Forgive my ignorance, if they haven't paid VAT before what would they be reclaiming? When they pay suppliers do they have to pay VAT even if they are VAT exempt?
