“ Just one word is needed to rebuff the selfish misguided arguments against higher taxes and greater public ownership...

DENMARK.”

Denmark only has 6M people, I wonder how much this contributes to the system working? 50%+ of wages are taxed as an average. Monthly average salary is 6K. People know no different.

Disadvantages of socialism include

slow economic growth

less entrepreneurial opportunity and competition

lack of motivation by individuals due to lesser rewards.

Socialism won’t work here as Stasi Starmer has pledged not to tax the working man more than he is now. We also know all about Starmer and his pledges though, they are not always guaranteed.

Is there a reason why all new builds don’t have solar panels fitted by default with a battery storage system?

“… nor am I claiming that Labour is flawless in all its actions. ”

Perhaps you can advise Loopyloo the same, he has a different view to you and a lot of others here.

Well it seems a good number of major companies have already factored in the next six months and beyond. Something that Starmer and Reeves can’t see.

Are you telling us that these companies have no idea of the financial burdens being placed on them and that Labour is perfect in everything it does?

The UK economy barely grew between July and September, with uncertainty about the Budget being blamed for the weak growth.

The economy slowed over the three-month period, growing by just 0.1%, and shrank during September itself.

Labour made boosting economic growth its top priority when it came into power but Chancellor Rachel Reeves said she was "not satisfied" with these latest figures which cover the first three months of the new government.

However, many businesses have criticised tax rises in the Budget which they say will lead to higher prices and fewer new jobs.

Major companies, including Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's and JD Sports have hinted they will increase prices because of the changes.

“ so generalising that it hasn't helped anyone is unproductive.”

Where did I say that?

“ Not a lot of mention about the fact Brexit has had a negative effect on this board i note..”

It has already been mentioned that the MP’s on both sides and the far left civil servants worked hard to make Brexit fail. They had to stop it being a success at any cost.

I see Loopy(Lineker)loo has woken up. Another day of far left drivel coming our way.

“Morning primetime..definitely interested in what Reeves has to say about what she is intending to do with many billions of pension funds”

If it is private pension funds I don’t see how she can access them forcibly. If she causes some pension funds to fail and retirees don’t get paid a pension will the government cover it instead?

We all like to hide wealth if possible, legally or not.

Should we be looking more closely at how Starmer has protected his CPS pension? Why should he be allowed to get away with it and not others?

Also, how does the Monarchy directly impact you in a negative way? Will you benefit financially if we didn’t have a Monarchy?

“Respect but the crown estate is a an independent, commercial business. The Sovereign grant however is paid from this and is set at 12%.”

So if the monarchy is done away with I assume the government would not receive the 88% income from the RF, so a net loss. Just means the RF suddenly becomes a lot richer.

“France generate just as much tourism and they don't have a Royal family pilfering the public purse.”

Do you have the figures to show this?

“ You mean the allegations that's Starmer has fathered a child outside his marriage TFE?”

Well, what is the dirt on all of this then, what is known that can be repeated? Might as well tell all even if it is dirty and trying to be held back?

“ UK has no choice but to cuddle up to the EU.”

An EU where many if not all the major countries are putting in a pitiful percentage of GDP to meet NATO requirements. Germans that would rather have cheap Russian gas and hang the Ukraine’s out to dry. Let’s be honest the EU does not have a credible defence policy nor physical structure to defend itself. You really are a numpty STP. Try and see the EU for what it really is.

What pension fund in its right mind would want to invest in new projects? If they go belly up the government won’t help out for sure as those funds will have a big hole it can’t afford. For Reeves it is easy to spend other people’s money without any risk.

If you want me to review data, then present summary information on the forum.

I do not have time to be on a wild goose chase, checking out links.

"Britain’s wind power falls to virtually zero as Miliband prepares to cut reliance on gas”

I wonder how much is being stuffed into those brown envelopes to keep the donkey believing the wind from his ‘a rse ‘ is providing the energy for this country.

If they can’t pay up then simply expel them and replace them with parents that will pay.
