Been quite clear for years how much i despise the Tories and want Labour in. that being said, struggling to see what Starmer will do differently now that Labour have ruled out raising any taxes or taxing billionaires/big corporates etc. Clear they will need to cut public funding, there's no other option. it's raise taxes or cut public funding, there's nothing else to manoeuvre with. Many are sick of the roads, transport, education, health services etc so not really sure what Labour's alternative is?
Bit selfish but the rise in private schooling will hit us. I'll be honest nearly everyone at the school can afford it, but you do get a few families for which the increase would knock them out of the school (i don't think it's to the tune the Mail are reporting, nor do i think it's zero). Not sure it's the best policy but headline grabbing enough for Labour to push ahead with. I just think if you taxed some of the big corporates you'd be on to a vote winner.
I think a lot of those supporting Labour etc are sort of saying "well it'll be different when they're in power, they can then make the changes once they actually get in or if they win another parliament" but really a lot of change is needed now and feel Labour/Keir being too similar in offerings. Labour need to be bolder.
