They have promised to make limited borrowing on the strength of a tax on non-doms and private schools. They have indicated that they will not rape the country on CGT or stamp duty.Everyone and his dog knows this is nowhere near enough to maintain what we currently have and with their commitment to raise and improve public services this looks very doubtful.To state that they will be able to implement their program on blind faith that growth will suddenly appear under their watch is fanciful and not realistic.The only conclusion you can make is that this is a massive charade and when attaining power will revert to the tried and tested under the false assumption that "things are worse than we expected" and we need to rip it up and start again.Never to be trusted, Labour and someone else's money.
As you are kind enough to give me a mention, I feel that I should point out that Keith's understanding of economics is virtually nil.Starmer has no plan to fix the economy apart from wishful thinking.On reflection, I take that back....it is absolutely nil!

So far no one's buying the BS, he's either a fantasist or Billy liar, which is it?

And just for good measure Albie 99% of your predictions about the demise of the labour party have been totally wrong so why would anyone believe you?

Have the Tories totally given up?This from the minister Greg Hands today in the Telegraph:"Labour’s new 20% tax on independent school parents will have a catastrophic impact on Britain’s choirs."

Syd, Starmer is not the leader, he is a figurehead. There is little sign of him speaking from his heart, or even his self. Labour may well manage the country more successfully than the Tories under every guise they've had, it'd be hard not to. But this will not be down to Leadership. I think you'll see the cracks appear soon enough. Even the rhetoric will be fkakey. I wouldn't employ Starmer as a lawyer, there is little forensic reality in his skill set. He is the safe figurehead of those who are in power above him. Safe to a robotic level. This won't work out when he is leader of the country.

A good example of Starmer being a robot is his recent Sky News interview where he mentioned his dad being a toolmaker and the audience laughed. In a GB news interview he was asked about this, and became defensive about his dad and his suppressed pain about this, not realising the bleedin obvious that he was laughed at because he ALWAYS comes out with the "my dad was a toolmaker" line.Lord knows if he realised the other very comic angle on that repeated line of his! Implosion? He's not good in the real world is he?
People don't like to hear it but the NHS model in the current modern world isn't working and we've little to no answer for it have we?
People Forget that there was a Labour Government after Thatcher!
