Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

Re: Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

Noted!

Can't you see how Labour are using the fuel allowance differently now? I thought that was the crux of the Tory supporters' bellyaching?

So, when Labour introduced this, it wasn't a bung to get people to vote for them?

Who was in power in 1989 ?

Your daft girlfriend

The point being Thatcher brought in housing benefit and incapacity benefit to deal with her closure of heavy industry .....instead of providing jobs

But 20 years later her party under Iain Duncan Smith cut back on one and changed the name of the other

So if its OK for the Tories to change its OK for Labour to row back too , especially as this makes economic sense

You’re taking crap , why didn’t labour scrap it then when they were in power under Blair and brown ?

Why are labour pressing ahead with universal credit when it’s not that generous for non working people?

Because it was economically viable then you daft old sod

It's not now and hasn't been for about a decade ......and the Tories should have reduced the cost

But they didn't want to lose votes

But never mind they lost anyway so Labour are getting stuck into it and it will be unpopular and some will lose out and need support but that's the way it is

Re: Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

I'm always slightly surprised at the way that pensioners all become hard workers the day they retire. Yes most pensioners will have worked/worked hard. But some of them won't have, some of them will have spent their whole adult life on the dole. Not a big thing but it just always makes me chuckle how the whole cohort becomes 'strivers' as soon as they've retired.

And don't forget, kids are all lazy these days and also a lot of these hard working pensioners will have actually been those lazy public sector scroungers that the very same people talk about constantly.

Many people even on here are obsessed by the "hard working" lies. I've never ever met anyone who made real money through so called "hard work". It's a horrible, puerile expression designed to be used as a wedge issue to further the interests of the elect few.

Either add to the debate or stay in your lane , it’s not that difficult.

WTF is delusional

Re: Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

Deluded.

Not so much deluded as easily influenced by any passing tweet in his stream.

Starmer made that comment at the height of the fuel crisis two years ago. Since then energy prices have tumbled, the main reason that inflation is close to Bank of England norms.

Obviously if you just gulp down any passing opinion like soup then I guess you get where TWGL1 is right now.
