I read that #Labour is going to "hardwire growth" and "invest in industries of the future" with "a decade of national renewal".
The disUK is hamstrung by #Tory mismanagement (see #Brexit) and this aspirational capitalist bullshit is just more of the same. One can imagine Johnson spouting all that Reeves says here.
"I’ll be voting #SNP at the General Election and I will not be doing so with fingers crossed that the rest of the UK will be doing the right thing and giving the Tories their marching orders. If the rest of the UK wants the Tories back in power then so be it. It’s not #Scotland's job to be Britain’s conscience. We’ve done that and it hasn’t worked. All we got in return is being told we don’t have the right to have a say in our future."
It's becoming clearer by the day that the #Labour party under #Starmer are intending to step straight into #Tory shoes. All one can hope for is that #BlueLabour are slightly less corrupt and mendacious than their predecessors.
#Scotland doesn't support either of the disUK's Westminster-centric FPTP options, so I long for #independence to allow democratic choice of government for our country.
Saddle up for a u-turn everyone. Why are policies - especially ones as desperately important as this - always evaluated in terms of what they cost, and not how much they benefit (which usually has a financial element to it)?🙄 😡
"The Labour leader says the party is different now."
That is true, it is no longer electable. Starmer appears to be determined to keep the Tories in power.
His support for the Israeli genocide and now his support for attacks in Yemen highlight his inexorable slide to the right. He may as well cross the floor to the Tory benches.
Another #Brexit bonus is to be the collapse of #cheese exports to #Canada, to which Labour's approach is cakeism.
When will #Starmer and his stooges admit that the reason why we're not getting decent trade deals is that we're a small country just outside the periphery of a massive trading bloc?
The answer to so many of the UK's woes is much closer alignment and integration with the #EU, including Freedom of Movement. But, vote #BlueLabour, get #Tory policy.
🤬🤬
"Starmer refuses to say if Israel is complying with international law, saying it is unwise for politicians to make instant judgments on these issues"
Except the UN and the ICC are already investigating known war crimes. #UKPolitics#Gaza
@fkamiah17 Starmer has that fence so far up his arse crack. I'm seriously beginning to wonder whether the next #BlueLabour government is going to be discernibly better than the #ToryLiars.
Yet another U-turn by #BlueLabour to appease the right. By the time #Starmer is handed the keys to Number Ten, transition will be complete and #Labour will stand firmly on the same centre-right ground as the #Tories did a decade ago.
@SteveJonesnono1 I'm finding #Starmer's #Labour Party increasingly difficult to distinguish from the #Tory Party as it was maybe a decade ago, before it crossed the event horizon of the black hole of Brexit.
@SubtleBlade I wonder whether this is the same kind of promise that #Starmer made on tuition fees, nationalisation of utilities, freedom of movement, etc?
