Virgos Groove Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Quote October's Budget will be "painful" and the government will have to make "big asks" of the public, Sir Keir Starmer has warned. Speaking from the Downing Street garden, the prime minister said people would have to "accept short-term pain for long-term good". He did not set out the details of what would be in the Budget but said those with the "broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden". BBC 2
Princess Aurora Posted August 27 Posted August 27 I don't understand why the UK government can't leave austerity behind. Are they masochist or something?
brraap Posted August 27 Posted August 27 The public who did nothing but pay their taxes and had little access to their basic services. Get rid of governments entirely. They're just a front for corporations 2
Gelato Posted August 27 Posted August 27 he is such a cowardly craven servile LOSER. i thought he was tolerable until 2021 but halfway through that year he went on a massive shift to the right with, for example, the appointment of rachel reeves as shadow chancellor. since she promised to uphold the tories' fiscal rules this was the only option, but they were completely disingenuous about it during the election campaign. it just shows how this filthy mob will say and do anything, and trample over anyone, to position their filthy asses on the backseat of a ministerial car. growing up i never thought i wouldn't vote for labour but now i can't imagine myself ever voting for them. 3

Yeah but how can a country's economy run If the majority of the population struggles or becomes poor? This is only limited to the UK but the current economic model makes no sense.
Both Sides Now Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Will the painful asks include a wealth tax? Nah, I'm guessing school meals will have to go first. Lol. 1 1
Marianah Adkins Posted August 28 Posted August 28 So Britain elected Labour for more austerity? aka the same as the Conservatives? Yea Good Luck
Robert Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Living in the UK is painful and they are already asking too much of the public. People booted tories out because they wanted to see change.

That number will grow exponentially as the collapse of Starmer's Labour continues. And I'm afraid for all intents and purposes you're going to be living under a Tory government for the next five years. From everything to their fiscal rules, hateful language and policies towards trans people, and corruption scandals, Labour has simply copied their homework. Edited September 1 by Gelato 1
