not possible due to labour being full of spineless capitalsits whod rather let the workingclass struggle than to secure votes by actually fighting the rich elites ruining life.
Tax wealth not work.
Jeremy Corbyn was going to try that and look what happened to him? Consigned to the shadows like a sub human monster. Tories still have nightmares about him
They’re counting on the opposite and making it a straight battle of personalities between him and Farage, not realising…. somehow; that Keir Starmer doesn”t have one.
One small edit: “we need ideas to win the next eleciton… that won’t cost any money”
😂 This sums up UK politics in one comic.
Taking a page out of Trump’s book.
The problem is they can’t. Nobody can.
Tax the multinational corporation’s properly then maybe but the powers that be won’t allow it so it’s a no go in reality.
What would absolutely help is Russia’s war of aggression ending so the cost of food and fuel drops but that’s out of the hands of political parties.
Reducing the cost of living won’t keep the rich on their comfortable spot above the rest of us, without societal change every British Government will favour the rich.
They can’t though.
Not while they still stand by capitalism.
I made a post about why things are getting worse, I tried to condense it as much as possible so you don’t have to read an economics book.
Check it out if you want to know why the world’s been spiralling 🙂
Ah yes reduce the cost of living by waving a magic wand..
Stop trying to make this country like the US, with constant political campaigning all the fucking time.
The last election was 15 months ago.
The next is over 3 years away.
Labour aren’t campaigning for an election now. because they’re a party of government. Reform are in constant campaign mode because they’ve nothing better to do than constantly agitate.
Get rid of the Triple Lock? Make it a double lock. Old people don’t vote Labour anyways and it’ll save billions.
>Labour, you’ll actually need to do something, y’know.
Nah…they’ll just have their living bots post memes all day
They do stuff, the headlines just aren’t telling people about it.. clearly
The folk making the policies all went to Oxford, Eton and Cambridge. They’re is to cost of living crisis to them. Wouldn’t know what it feels like to struggle.
That’s the problem with the single-minded push for growth and GDP above all else. You know what pushes up economic growth and GDP? Ever-rising rents, fuel, electricity, and transport costs. The cost of living crisis isn’t a crisis for wealthy shareholders it’s their bank balance getting bigger.
That’s why Labour used to support things like council houses and using council rates to keep building more: you keep a basic supply of genuinely affordable housing outside of the market to ensure needs are being met.
But landlords and developers didn’t like that because it acted as a check on the growth of rents and house prices, and they wanted to grow the private market instead.
It’s so weird that at any point they could just break that wall and speak straightforward and properly about what *everyone else in the country is talking about* but they just choose not to. It’s quite strange.

With the magic money tree, I remember.
It is true. Like, seriously we will happily churn through every single political party and wipe the slate clean every 5 years.
Democracy working entirely as designed. We can, and will, give labour an extinction event, just like we did with the Tories. Reform will be next on the block.
Apparently, OP thinks the government is like a genie, and can magically do anything. Newsflash, dipshit – there aren’t any simple answers to a complex problem with multiple causes.
ID cards are the thing you bring in *after* you’ve fixed all the other shit from fourteen years of fucking desolate Tory rule not *before.*
They just need to pull that ‘reduce the cost of living’ lever and everything will be fine!
But guys, they ARE gonna do something! They’re gonna cut benefits!
Exactly. They are terrified of leading.
Initiate the rejoin EU process – they only won by 2% and now that has melted.
Start reinvesting in public services – end austerity.
Tax wealth. Tax landlords so that they have to sell their properties.
Farage was one of the main people who did the whole “Brexit” thing that destroyed the economy.
No politician is going to act against their own self interests. No matter the party, that rule is universal. They’re all landlords so not one of them is going to have the rental market regulated in terms of rent cost or number of properties a landlord can have etc.
As for utility bills, the ombudsman work first and foremost for the energy companies and there’s no effort whatsoever to combat the obvious fraud going on there on a massive scale.

This! As Bill Clinton once said- …
I saved this!
That’s not the government’s function,
