If want to turn people off, bring out Peter Mandelson. Kiss of death.
Mandelson mired in sleaze. Has been for decades. Poor judgement by Keir Starmer.
Did war criminal Tony Blair instruct Starmer to appoint Mandelon?
Keir Starmer backed Peter Mandelson in Commons. Lacked the courage the next day to apologise to the Commons. Left it to a Junior Foreign Office Minister. Tibaniumce Mandelson had no een fired.
Ministers appeared in the media to back Mandelson.
Starmer should resign.
Thank you Jeremy Corbyn. As always, honesty and integrity.
Slimy Wes Streeting unfortunately is typical of Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Angela Raynor, David Lammy. We deseve better. The elderly deserve better.
Elderly are dumped in care homes, many who should not be there, no hope of early release for good behaviour, left to rot, a life sentence, robbed of their life savings, their only ‘crime’ being elderly.
And the age old excuse from Labour, there is no money.
Find the money
wealth tax
revenue tax big tech
carbon tax
We need accountability, not smug slimy politicians like Wes Streeting.
They need to be removed. If not, they will usher in Fascism.
Fascism is spreading across Europe, backed by Elon Musk.
Labour did not have a landslide victory, the Tory vote collapsed. Starmer saw his vote halved, Wes Streeting scraped in on 500 votes. Starmer was unpopular before he was elected.
The sycophants are all regurgitating what Starmer has told them to say.
No Keir Starmer, you are not making difficult decisions. You have made bad decisions. The Budget was a bloody disaster, and started to unravel no sooner had economically illiterate Rachel Reeves sat down.
The difficult decisions are being made by the elderly on whether to put food on the table or turn on the heating, How many have to starve to death, freeze to death? Means testing is inefficient. It gives jobs to unproductive worthless jobsworths.
And please don’t insult us, there are wealthy pensioners who don’t need the Winter Fuel Payments. Increase the two top rates of Income Tax by 2p.
The difficult decisions are being made by parents who receive no Child Benefits beyond two children.
The difficult decisions are being made by small businesses. Do we cut hours, lay off staff or close the business?
The difficult decisions are being made by farmers with the imposition of Inheritance Tax, who will see the family farm destroyed. Target the minority who are exploiting a tax loophole.
No one would dispute, other than the right wing nutters in the Tory leadership, of the need to raise billions due to the poor state of our public sector.
There are better, more effective fairer ways of raising the money.
We are going to see farms decimated when farms pass from one generation to the next thanks to the imposition of Inheritance Tax (farms were previously exempt).
We need family farms not only as providers of food on our table but also as custodians of the countryside.
Keir Starmer refused to talk to farmers at the Welsh Labour Conference. He slunk out of the back door.
We live in an increasingly unstable world. The war in Ukraine showed what happens when we lose the supply chain. Where is the government policy on food security? Why are we covering agricultural land with solar panels.?
The flash flooding in Valencia, also wreaked havock in the hinterland, a major food growing region.
We need to rewild the countryside, protect and enhance natural carbon sinks, and invest in regenerative agriculture.
There was nothing in the disastrous Budget for the environment or agriculture.
Big Business already controls most of the food chain. Do we wish to see our family farms go the same way?
Should the slogan for Labour during the General Election not have been …
Vote for Change … Stay the Same
It certainly wasn’t, Vote Labour and it will get worse.
People are waking up to the fact they have been betrayed by Keir Starmer and Labour.
We cannot say we did not warn you, you were warned by Novara Media, by Owen Jones, by myself.
Labour have refused to lift the Child Benefit cap beyond two children. The half a dozen Labour MPs of integrity who voted against the cap, John McDonnell et al, were immediately suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party.
Pensioners who are not in receipt of Pension Credits will be stripped of their Winter Fuel Payments. Hypocrite Labour MPs voted to deny the elderly of their Winter Fuel Payments.
We did not need a report by Labour to tell us the NHS was on its knees. Try seeing your doctor let alone a consultant or pay a visit to A&E especially on a Friday night.
The response of Keir Starmer, no more money for the NHS.
The post-WWII Labour government , the country in ruins, did not say, no money, they found the money and created the NHS and the Welfare State. Children were better off than their parents. Now children are worse off than their parents.
If we look to Europe, they fund their health services.
There is the money, a 2% Wealth Tax would raise £24 billion.
Wealth Tax
Windfall Tax Banks
Windfall Tax Big Oil
Carbon Tax
Windfall Tax Big Tech
5% Revenue Tax Big Tech
Tobin Tax
Increase Corporation Tax
We need to do more to lessen the societal costs to the NHS.
Deal with binge drinking bars. One warning, then closure.
Open Walk in Clinics. Lincoln used to have a Walk in Clinic. It was closed, leading to additional pressure on A&E.
Free Social Care. Not rob people of their life savings to pay for social care.
Extend No Smoking areas.
Tackle ultra-processed food. There is to be a ban on TV advertising before 9pm. There should be a ban on advertising, on sponsorship of sporting and cultural events. A warning on all ultra-processed food. A tax on ultra-processed food. A presumption against granting planning consent for junk food outlets.
Cutting Winter Fuel Payments will lead to many more elderly needing hospital visits.
