Hurrah! For what rr? It will be all change this time next week. Do you know how much the upgrade to the national grid will cost? This country CANNOT afford labour policies and vanity projects. |

Yes Labour talk the talk but does not walk the walk, it's great when you are in opposition, you can promise all sorts of things, and if they say it often enough idiots might actually start to believe it.
But cut to the crap, dig deep in to what Labour are 'promising' and you will discover it's utter total bullshit, they haven't got the money, the means or the know-how to deliver any of it, empty vessels make the most noise.

EVERYTHING I have heard so far will go down well with the electorate, from a state owned power supplier to funding thousands of extra diagnostic machines in hospitals to help get the huge waiting lists down These are things that will actually affect peoples lives, not the stupid Cuture Wars which Red Wall Tories want to focus on, the Tories have had their day and their conference .... Dull, dull, more of the same. The country has had enough of them That seems to be the problem — the country has had enough of the Tories. What’s missing is something to attract voters to Labour. It could work out well, but I don’t see a positive unique selling point — “we’re not the Tories” seems a bit wet… |

What's the story with 5G when nearly everyone uses Smart tech?
Nothing on net zero is that on purpose, too awkward to address?
COV-ID fraud - for me this is a waste of time surely the horse has bolted unless they are going to go after Mr & Mrs Joe Bloggs that fraudulently claimed more than they should yet were the Tories doing that already?
Nothing on Europe or immigration............

Dull, dull, more of the same. The country has had enough of them The country has had enough of starmers lies. He just goes with the wind and we all know it is bullshit as the wind will blow from another direction next week. Starmer is not in government, he is not the Prime Minister and has little influence over the government, therefore how can he be accused of either breaking promises or or been a liar. ? The Tories are the U-Turn government, it was THEY who proposed ULEZ and then insisted that Sadil Khan expanded it, and then changed their minds due entirely to political opportunism. It was the Tories who firs got rid of 20,000 police officers, before U-Turning and then re-employing 20,000 police officers. The Tories U-Turned on HS2, splitting the party, drawing criticism from 2 former Tory Prime Ministers Its the U-Turn Party |

How? - are they going to reduce business taxation?, perhaps scrap employment regulation, or reduce environmental restrictions.. It's great rhetoric but its missing some meat on the bones.. |

I can't find anything substantial and it's obvious Labour are controlled by the corpos. I have to say, those who do nothing but throw their unconditional support to this party are nothing more than cultists. I get that the Tories aren't much cop, but Labour solves nothing, at least not for ordinary people.

Waiting where? - I doubt anyone is holding on to suitcases full of cash waiting for Starmer to get his act together. With regards to planning, then yes you could scrap planning rules to make it easier to build - but Labour are also intending to write net zero into the planning system. If the planning system is rewritten to support the goal of net zero, then we could easily find ourselves with a new set of deeply embedded vetoes that’s even harder to get rid of than the last lot. |

Investment, well that all sounds great, so somebody must be awash with cash, except there isn't much left they can sell off, investment must be for profit just the way it is. |

They must feel that there are things worth investing in. |
