[@danialdini6113]

few minutes break as socialist, and then come back as capitalist

[@kel7410]

Surely it was easy enough to understand. Saying that there was high growth when they left office does not contradict her comment that businesses are responsible for growth. She obviously meant that they had the right environment for businesses to grow the economy. By the way, I support neither her nor Starmer

[@mobsiesixsixsix9785]

Sorry Kemi but who says you can’t tax your way to growth? If you taxed the multimillionaires and billionaires and invested the money in things like infrastructure, schools, homes, hospitals etc it WILL generate growth, growth for the country not billionaires bank balance.

[@ecnalms851]

Norway introduced a wealth tax and it led to billionaires moving to Switzerland and a net loss in tax revenue. You can't tax wealth without it being a net loss in tax unless there is a global cooperation for a wealth tax. So unless that happens, it would be dumb to introduce one as the world is too globalised.

@@kishendooken1856 it goes beyond that for me. Neither party have said anything of any particular consequence. Both buy into the idea of being the party of business which is a shame. I'm sure you already know, but don't expect any radical change from how things were before. This government are just maintaining the status quo of spending money in the private sector, such as the third Heathrow runway and Oxford corridor. These are just dead-ended vanity infrastructure projects where the only material gain will be seen by developers, not really members of the public. I don't see anything about this Labour government that truly represents working people, otherwise for starters they'd have taxed wealth and not work (Employer's NI rises being an example).

[@Gfynbcyiokbg8710]

Just your usual right wing tactic of resorting to calling everything they want to seem bad "socialism". Also the left need to fight against the idea that the term "left wing" is inherently bad. Paid holiday, NHS, minimum wage, caps on working hours, social security, state pensions etc etc are ALL left wing ideas. None of those were put forward by the right wing. Everything people actually value in modern society came from the left wing.

Unions call strikes which causes you inconvenience

[@verystripeyzebra]

@@stevenanderson9774strikes are called by union members. The bar for calling a strike is higher than the bar we set for leaving the EU. Unions provide representation for workers being treated unfairly , suffering from injury, industrial disease. They do so much more than just call strikes. They use their power to negotiate better pay and conditions for hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, the people who Farage pretends to be so much in favour of. Perhaps if management weren't so exploitative then a union wouldn't need to call a strike. That's how poor management inconveniences you. . You know all the inconvenience people had to go through for us to have sick pay, holiday pay, maternity leave. People died, fighting for that for an ungrateful little sh like you. It's unions that brought safe working environment like all those workers who died in Qatar didn't have.

[@verystripeyzebra]

@@stevenanderson9774 unions look after ordinary working people. It was strikes that secured holiday pay. It was Management's refusal to agree to giving factory workers 2 weeks paid holiday, that caused the strike. And contrary to what businesses and tories said about how terrible it would be for the economy, it was a great boost. Ordinary people had money and leisure time. It boosted economic growth.

Quote The revised Organisation for Economic and Co-operation and Development (OECD) figures show that the UK economy grew by 0.7% in Q1 2024 and by 0.4% in Q2 2024, while the US economy grew by 0.4% in Q1 2024 and by 0.7% in Q2 2024. (In fact, it’s worth noting that unrounded figures show the United States had the slightly higher growth of the two over the two quarters). That growth was built on net migration of 906,000 in 2023 giving the economy a slight bump. In Jan 2024 the BOE was predicting static to no growth in 2025 and inflation climbing to 2.75% So no the economy wasn't the fastest growing in the G7 it was on it's knees due to brexit boosted by migration

Badenuff needs to take a class in economics. It is basic economics that growth can be attained by having a fair tax system where the rich pay a lot more in tax than the poor. Some people have so much wealth they cannot spend it all. Instead they hide wealth and send their money abroad. Tax the rich far more. If they leave the uk so be it. In Scandinavia they have a fairer system and their rich people didn't scuttle away.

Those who live next to Heathrow should leave, there was a chap who was complaining about the noise when aircraft take off, he's been there 66 years.

[@LeafHuntress]

And who could they sell their homes to?

[@clivesilver463]

If your dumb enough to live next to airport you have no right complaining about noise

[@LeafHuntress]

@ I don't know the situation of that man. Perhaps he's living in his parents house & was unable to sell it? But people live on property where governments build horrendous things next to all the time. Weirdly enough it's seldom very rich people that live near the stench/noise output...

[@clivesilver463]

@LeafHuntress he was on LBC complaining about the noise and was born there.

@@clivesilver463 He should look up the number of the drone hotline.... lol

The economy growing doesn’t necessarily help ordinary people.

Would we have that sort of luck?

@paulwilson7234 I doubt it, they'll be back in 4 years when the goldfish complain it isn't paradise yet and forget who wrecked the country in the first place.

[@paulwilson7234]

@MrSpeekerv1.0 yip , a fair assessment.
