Labour plots to protect top public sector workers from pension tax raid.... Labour is plotting to protect top public sector workers from its planned raid on pensions. Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are planning to reimpose the £1.073m maximum cap on the amount that can be saved into pensions free of tax. Savings over this amount face a windfall tax under the so-called lifetime allowance.

If Farage were leader of the Tories, Starmer and Co would be wiped out. Well I am sure thats what you want to believe because you assume the majority out there think like you. I am not so certain. Certainly it would appeal to both the racist and the anti-immigrant elements out there. But it would probably be a gift to Starmer amongst more moderate thinkers. Farage is nothing but a turd which has long been poisoning the well of British politics. |

If he joined the Tories it would be on his terms That'd why I said labourer will be in. Power for at least 20yrs If Labour actually do what you want, I would be very surprised if they survive one term. And after that you can look forward to a proper right wing government.
The only way Labour will survive is if they become Tory.
That's what Blair did.
And Starmer is more Corbyn than Blair.
If you genuinely believe that you clearly havent got a clue what you are talking about, lol. Seems to be happening a lot today. Have you been drinking? |

Farage is nothing but a turd which has long been poisoning the well of British politics. In your far left opinion. |

You really are having a funny five minutes, Shrieks.  |

If you mean he has been a thorn in the side of the constant lies from the Westminster party, long may it continue. It has probably made him the most relevant politician who never needed or got elected to Parliament. |

You really are having a funny five minutes, Shrieks. You are making the obvious mistake of taking something Starmer said, when it was expedient to say it, seriously. lol. Genuine left wingers in the party at the time knew he didnt believe a word of it. We are the ones who never voted for him to be leader. We noted as well that all the centrists and New Labourites in the party were trying to tell us the sun shone out of his arse, which clearly signposted that they knew what he really thought. |

Strange how two of the most significant politicians to-date are dismissed as irrelevant.
Boris Johnson had one of the biggest landslide general election results since Thatcher's 1987 victory, Farage is one of the most popular former politicians than any other leader of a mainstream political party, the lefties just can't handle it, and if these two put their heads together and joined forces Labour wouldn't have a hope in hells chance of winning the next GE.

He'd be popular with a section of the Tory support. To say that he'd be universally popular with the Tory support would definitely be a mistake. There's a broad band of Tories who would want nothing to do with him, and that would be true of both MPs and voters. Please don't think that all Tory voters think like Squeezed or Rackham. They don't. As you day, he would find popularity with a particular subset of the tory party and tory voters who mourn the fact the party today is on summary inspection bereft of even the paltry amount of tory values it showed in the days of Edward Heath when the Political Compass website shows Heaths One Nation Conservatism to be further to tbe left than Tony Blair’s Labour. I doubt he would actually achieve much other than stir factionalism even more but i for one would prefer to vote for a candidate embracing his ideals than Fishy Rishi’s. |
