"Blame Must Rest With The Government!" | UK Market Turmoil

[@ruthcollins2841]

The only areas that COST MORE & DO LESS are the PUBLIC SECTOR SERVICE WORKERS!😊

[@Moodyblue-o9n]

Not true. Out of more than 50 years working - 10 years in the public sector, and 40-odd years in the private sector, I found the good , the bad and the ugly employed in both sectors.

[@howardjones7370]

@@Moodyblue-o9n: True, however, it has always been easier for private sector companies to dismiss the lazy and incompetent, because of the effect those not pulling their weight, ultimately have on quality and profits! In the public sector the same indolence and incompetence just gets shuffled around, others take up some of the slack, the best leave, and nothing improves, failure in the private sector means the company goes under, in the public sector they just grind on, and the people they serve, us, suffer!

It's all down to government incompetence of all flavours

[@roblloyd1879]

In my 77 years on this planet I have always been worse off under a Liebour government as a working man. Nothing has changed as a pensioner. My only consolation is all the dumb people who voted Liebour are also going to be worse off. One thing I am sure of is Liebour will be in the political wilderness for at least 20 years after the next election.

[@kennethcartwright8561]

Same here

Oh they’ll still be in power in five years time and if I explain how this post will be deleted

[@ThePixey1000]

@roblloyd1879 I am 70 and agree I have never seen any thing as bad as this at least in the War they had HOPE we have nothing. But once in the wilderness it will be far more than 20yrs if ever again.

[@kennethcartwright8561]

@ I’m 78 and like you I’ve never experienced a Government as bad as this one! Labour are always Boom and Bust and Tax to the Hilt but this one seems to want to totally Destroy Britain

Why are they protecting energy companies and allowing them to fleece us

The Net Zero scammers need to be put on trial and their finances put under forensic audits, including offshore accounts.

[@stuartfitch7093]

I saw this one coming as soon as the election was announced, and Labour was predicted to win. I immediately renewed my fixed rate mortgage deal, knowing that things would only get worse under Labour. They think you can tax an economy into growth. Labour always try to increase overall tax revenues by taxing an existing economy more which stunts any growth then eventually shrinks the economy and actually brings in less overall tax revenues. The opposite of their actual starting aim. An economy doesn't work like that. You get more overall tax revenues by actually lowering taxes which encourages more economic growth. You then tax that economic growth that happens. A business which pays lower tax rates than before is likely to use that extra money to expand operations, hire more workers, invest in product development etc which grows the overall economy leading to those higher overall tax revenues in the long term. With Labour putting up taxes on everything, that is passed onto the consumer in price rises (inflation). To combat that increased inflation the BOE will soon start putting up interest rates. Then we will be in real trouble. Recession is coming.

How are they going to get thousands thousands of sick disabled people into work

The only thing we should be talking about is getting Liebour OUT before they cause any more damage!!

But starmer said his govt was fully costed and fully funded .... so why is he borrowing .... There is no 22bill black hole ....

[@CH-xl5nh]

She even lied on her CV, but MSM doesn't report on it. How and why would u lie about your CV.

[@ruthcollins2841]

She overspent £4,000 on her Parliamentary Credit Card, which she wasn't paying off, and on "unauthorised purchases". She should have been SACKED for that alone!🙈👎🤬

[@terryluckhurst4114]

Wait till unemployment increases and that will reduce taxes collected and stall a lot of business opportunities that need sutsainability to project forward. Labour kicked off from day one in government with doom and gloom perspective and since have not got a viable look forward.

Classic TalkTV: blame Labour for an international trend, for things that happened before the 2024 election, or for anything they don't like.

Uh huh. Im sure you were blaming international trends when the tories were in power :D

[@fredo1070]

Ah ,but the BBC did the same thing when to the Tories when they were in power. But Keir Starmer supported the two year lockdown and the sanctions on Russia. Se he is as much to blame as the Tories.
