I think there were a lot of people who voted Labour to take revenge on the tories.
Not that they wanted a Labour government.
Labour did not win it…the tories lost it…or rather gave it away.

Labour and the tories had very poor campaigns and it is unclear as to the aims of this new government…well, not that is not exactly true…the aims were laid out, but with very little detail as to how these aims would be achieved…or how they would be paid for.


Well other than taxing Non Doms and slapping 20%Tax on private school fees.

They have said they will not raise taxes for working people…but you can bet they raise fuel duty, maybe increase green levies because they want to hit Net Zero by 2030.

They will increase inheritance tax(as if that does not affect working people) and increase Capital Gains tax.
I feel sure the pensioners will feel their wrath too…maybe bus passes, free eye tests and the triple lock will be targeted because there is a huge black hole to fill before they even start on their projects.
They are going to institute something called GB Energy….a national energy company that will be based on renewables…wind turbines and the like…and they figure this will save families £300 a year.
They want to re-nationalise the railways too. Like that worked in the past(not)
They will wipe out the immigration backlog by granting all those illegal migrants an amnesty….and of course this will encourage more to arrive for the free health care, benefits and a roof over their heads.
Keir says he will release 40,000 appointments for patients in the NHS…he will do this by getting nurses to work weekends and evenings….don’t know where the money is coming from to pay the junior doctors their 35% that they are asking for.
He will need to shake that money tree really hard to accomplish that.

As you can tell, I am not hopeful at all that the promised changes will improve my life.
