The thing that scares me about Farage is what he will remove in order to support these “Truss style” benefits.
It’s crazy we need an adult like Starmer to stand up and say this, after we already saw what happened when these policies are implemented because it already happened.
It’s about time Labour start fighting Farage on the areas he’s weak.
You aren’t going to outflank him on immigration, you only need to look at the Tories if you want evidence of that.
Yeah but his crowd dont care so long as it means they feel they can eradicate every brown person from the UK they wont stop at anything less
Farage has no policies, let alone workable ones that will not create chaos. It is all grift for personal gain.
farage supporters won’t listen, according to them – Starmer is UK traitor number 1 actively working to make us an islamic peadophile paradise… or sone shit
I find the language media uses very interesting, as if they have motive..
– Taxing people less of the money they earn is considered a “cost”.
– Welfare spending on working age adults increasing from £45 billion to £95 billion is “cutting benefits”.
– Public sector receiving the same pay as 2008 after inflation is “pay restoration”.
– Normal working people being taxed the same amount as 2008 after inflation is a “tax cut”.
– The triple lock is sacrament and must be honoured at all costs.
The next election isn’t till 2029. Moving the Tax free band to £20k just takes the tax free allowance back to where it should be if it had raised with inflation – whilst keeping the (after inflation) tax increases for mid to high earners.
Yet the media is desperate to portray reducing the state down to 2008 levels as populist.
You guys are nuts if you think Starmer isn’t just as bad if not worse than farage
Finally! Reform have no workable policies for anything. Nothing that they propose is workable in real life or can only work by making things much worse for ordinary people. The ONLY thing thay have is ill-defined nationalism and closet racism dressed up as concerns about immigration. It is a serious tactical error to let them dictate the terms of debate by getting into prolonged arguments about immigration or “woke” issues. Go for them on their utterly incoherent positions on taxation, spending and public services. People who may incline towards then as a “protest” vote or who agree with the racism and anti-woke stuff may have second thoughts when they look at the devastation of the economy and the destruction of public services that would result from electing a Reform government. They US is currently demonstrating how these kinds of charlatans can rapidly destroy democracy, damage prosperity and create chaos.
Starmer would be better concentrating on getting his own policies done. He’s not going to win anything by speechifying.
If labour was competent and didn’t keep fucking up everything they touch, that nob Farage would be a non issue.
Reform’s policies may be daft – but anyone else noticed any time anyone suggests a different economic approach it’s been immediately screamed down as bad?
The current economic approach isn’t working. I don’t have a solution, but this focus on staying with what we know isn’t viable.
I mean, he already said he thought Liz and Trumps economic policies were too much too soon. His electorate who demand the roll back of 14 years of shite within a year aren’t going to be happy if he takes his time.
As Reform are tested on actual policy positions and maths it’ll obviously reveal them to be fantasists. They can only thrive when everything is about tapping into vibes.
The Economist said Farage had raked up £160 billion worth of spending promises he hasn’t quite explained how they’re being paid. Not sure cutting immigration and foreign aid budgets are going to cover it Nige. Who needs the NHS anyway.
The PM saying “opposition bad” isn’t news, its normal process, next article please.
Labour are just terrible at conveying what they are actually achieving which is giving Farage opportunities to talk in soundbites that appeal to his numpty supporters
The biggest saving grace with this pound shop Trump is that the UK Government can vote no confidence in a leader and force an election, whereas the American system doesn’t allow it and they’re basically stuck with him. These idiots wouldn’t last a year.
He may be 1000% right and people will still prefer Farage over him.
The next election will not be a rational vote but an emotional one, similar to previous elections.
Farage will literally say anything for a vote. You think politicians are bad now? He’s leading voters down a worse path and many will blindly follow him. Other parties need to rally against this, especially in regard to their own profiles.
Politician says his opponent’s policies are bad… Is this news?
The policy is the most “working people” policy I’ve seen in a while that traditional Labour would love to implement it. It also grassroots and not some crude pay-off to the unions. Farage is conservative enough to make the cuts to make it happen in a responsible way.
Labour actually taught us that you can promise everything without any kind economic responsibility when outside government but also do a little of what you say when in government especially if it is the first thing you do like pay rise for the unions. Neither party has any economic sense but it is good that it is a topic
Can’t stand starmer myself but he’s right, I’m quite surprised labour haven’t attacked him more over him literally being the guy who caused brexit, being a failed exbanker, or dirty though it would be a man who champions Europe being evil despite having a German wife who he cheated on with a French woman.
Next time somebody throws a milkshake at Farage, make sure you wee in it first.
People complain that starmer is boring. I like that he is an adult and actually makes tough choices.
Do I like those choices? No. Do I respect that at least he isn’t just making sound bites to be “likeable”? Yes
The people going to Farage don’t care about line go down, because line go up never got them any benefit either. They need tangible policies with tangible benefits, not the scare-stories that work on your mates in the City.
Liz Truss is advising them on fiscal policies so they no doubt will
So it’s funny the main two party of realise calling him a fascist doesn’t working so they’re switching tactics!
Policy wise just think about it this way they can’t be any worse than they currently are? If reform cuts all benefits and welfare to non-UK citizens that pays for most things. If you get rid of the migrant hotels as well literally £ billions the government would save!
That’s a good start the civil service and government are bloated you could probably get rid of half the staff and it was still functioning the same, That’s yet more £ billions
Our government so dysfunctional literally not governing would probably be more effective.
But people will still vote for Reform, because they vote emotionally and without reason.
Starmer is just continuing the same failed policies of the Toreis. We need real change and a new direction.
