Who is going to supply this change? - I'd quite like some change but swapping one centre-left government for another centre-left government is not the change I'm looking for. I guess right wing and left wing might be appropriate in football terminology — but replacing managers isn’t generally so clear. It’s a new boss with different communication and personnel skills that brings the changes. Changing the faces at the top and removing the tired approaches often does the trick. That’s what I’d vote for when Rishi (if he’s still PM) calls the election… I think the UK's problems are somewhat deeper than those can can be changed by a new face at the top of the table.. |

LOL get rid of the boomers, they are the root cause of all things, pensions, NHS, but most of all no longer able to contribute. Resources are getting scarce we need to decide who gets what. Yes, basically. Why should people in their 20s and 30s, who have no hope of ever getting out of renting, pay for the retirement and end-of-life healthcare of the boomers? The boomers have had it all their own way for their whole lives. To be clear: I am not blaming the boomers. They just got lucky, until now. Didn’t feel like luck when I was doing the 60 hour weeks but if you say so. I find the guys who want to put in the hours today are just as ‘ lucky’ as we were . |

I find the guys who want to put in the hours today are just as ‘ lucky’ as we were . Nor when I served my time in engineering being paid buttons nor later when I was working full time in engineering plus a part time job three evenings a week. Nor in the 1970s when I worked additional hours, working 8am till 10 pm, with breaks of course, twice during the week. |

I would concede that the mass sale of discounted council houses was a gift to many though . |

There is a lack of working people crisis in this country. People want to do part time, work from home (we know how that doesn't work) and retire early. Solve that and we could get some growth. |

Funny that, considering Labour have no say in the matter. |
