"The worst political party ever. They are wanting the people who have worked hard all there life and paid taxes. To pay more towards the people who have scrounged of the system,and never worked a day in there lives and to subsidise even more migrants. " Polling quite well though aren’t they… Taxing wealth means taxing the assets accumulated over generations by the wealthy class. The kids of this class are people who do work hard, but have absolutely no risk in life and have an easy life handed to them in tax efficient ways no one else has access to. So not taxing normal hard workers. As for migrants: we have jobs we can’t fill, we have migrants who need work. We have an aging population with a retired population on triple locked pensions that current workers have to support with their taxes. If migrants are working legitimately they’ll be paying taxes. If we stop them from working, they’ll find ways of making money in the grey and black markets. As for “deport them” it’s either diplomatically complicated (like back to France) or insanely expensive (like to Rwanda). Legalisation of will also pull in an insane tax take. States in the US who went to legalisation took more tax than their constitutions allowed and they had to hand a load of it. This used to be a bit of a libertarian/right wing policy. | |||

I'm all for capitalism personally if if to choose one or the other "It’s not an either or. Unregulated capitalism an erosion of the state has clearly made things progressively worse. Social democracies or policies aligned with them often work with higher living standards than we enjoy. | |||

"The terrifying that is that they would bankrupt the Country even quicker than Labour are doing." Except that's a lie. Borrowing is reduced under Labour and getting to grips with sorting out the financial mess the Tories left. Too many people believe the right wing press. | |||

"The terrifying that is that they would bankrupt the Country even quicker than Labour are doing. Except that's a lie. Borrowing is reduced under Labour and getting to grips with sorting out the financial mess the Tories left. Too many people believe the right wing press." When Labour took office on July 5, 2024, the UK's public sector net debt was approximately £2.53 trillion, or around 91.7% of GDP. As of August 2025, the debt has risen to approximately £2.71 trillion. That reads like more debt to me. | |||

Do not vote for them (that's for anyone considering it). Dangerous and useless Party! | |||

"They want to ban dogs from public spaces.. What has Angela Rayner done to upset them this much?!!" Apparently she's been classified as a risky breed under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991! 😆 | |||

"They want to ban dogs from public spaces.. What has Angela Rayner done to upset them this much?!!" Had to fact check this one: they want to introduce a licensing system for dog ownership. I’ve not read the inns and outs of it but given the amount of terrible dog ownership I come across, particularly in summer when they seem to disappear over winter I’d support that. In terms of being able to run stuff: look at Brighton’s success as a city versus just how quickly Kent fell apart under Restore: Reform Reloaded. I’m happy to discuss political points in good faith but all anyone seems to do these days is regurgitate strawman versions of things their algorithm has fed them. With reference to facts and data, someone explain why focussing on wealth inequality and the environment is a bad approach. | |||

"China isn't doing too bad. " 😄 China is not a traditional communist country, their economy is a hybrid of the free market & state control. If you had said Cuba or N Korea then are communist then that would be accurate except it would disprove your theory. | |||

Not quite. 1 UK unemployment is projected to pass 2m for the first time in a decade by next year. Hardly jobs we cannot fill. 2 It is a myth that has been debunked many times that migrants contribute more in tax than they cost over their lifetime. Often in lower paid jobs, larger unemployed families and significantly higher proportion on benefits. The Treasury and ONS prove this. 3 Rwanda wasn’t given the opportunity to be successful as the new Labour government ditched it immediately. Evidence shows that it was beginning to work as a deterrent as the Irish Republic was getting flooded with migrants, rather than the UK. They are by tories should have done it years ago, both main parties have been useless on illegals. | |||
