Keir Starmer at it again..

It's just too difficult to tax the rich though.

Hugh Grosvenor was the 68th richest person in the world when his father died in 2016 and he inherited his £9billion fortune

It's all absolutely fucked.

Fucking low paid are a pita, if it's not enough just get a better job.

The media are going for people on minimum wage now.

Unreal isn't it. It'll get worse too

The media are going for people on minimum wage now.

I really think the media are doing the dirty work of those who wish to take off the poor.

They're the same people. Maybe not the same individuals, but they're the same people

They're the same people. Maybe not the same individuals, but they're the same people

Unfortunately, you are right.

I agree with Starmers here.



“We stand ready to use industrial policy to help shelter British business from the storm,”

“Some people may feel uncomfortable about this – the idea the state should intervene directly to shape the market has often been derided,” he says.

“But we simply cannot cling on to old sentiments when the world is turning this fast.”

You agree that he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about? The state has been directly intervening in the market to a greater or lesser extent ever since the market was invented. The extent of direct intervention has often been debated but never the idea (other than by nutjob free market exponents).

The NHS is a direct state intervention in the market as one obvious example.

He’s just stringing words together to make it sound like he’s in control.

I think what he means is more intervention, than what we are used to and also the problem with the NHS is creeping privatisation and trusts. I hope this means that we will see a reversal of this and the sooner the better.

He means tax increases but won’t say it. No matter what he does, it is paid for by tax increases.

Not corrupt.

No, they should go to one the cronies...

Hardly, if you are going appoint a company to manage a fuck off huge database then you’d probably expect it to be Oracle.

Oracle licensing is a ball ache of the highest order, I hope they know what they're doing.

Stewart Lee
"Like most north London champagne socialists, I am increasingly disappointed, for example, by the endless wrong choices of Keir Starmer, who I voted for hoping he would allow me to pay lip service to progressive values while making minimal negative impact on my own standard of living and hoarded assets. That went well. Having been handed a blank cheque by a disillusioned electorate, Starmer has instead just drawn a fat ejaculating penis on it and left it on the worktop by the waste caddy to get smeared with old stinky food."

Instead of standing up to Trump, the PM is encouraging people who want to destroy our values to come and do it in our country at reduced tax rates
