  1. But at least we’ve taken back control! 😂😂😂

    Haven’t we…🤭🤭🤭

    Aaaaaaaawe Naaaaaw.😱😱😱

    Next you’ll be telling me Brexit was a farcical stitch up between the right wing media and the Tories.
    🤑🤑🤑

    Still Labour are going to reverse all the 💩💩💩 Tory policies!!!

    Sir Keir says they won’t 🤡🤡🤡. Cause they’re not really Labour 🤫🤫🤫

  2. The report speaks of a decline over the last 15 years. It conveniently doesn’t mention that on the graph. As usual it is an interpretation of data with a particular lens, allowing certain assertions to be drawn by those that don’t look at the numbers underlying the research, a trick used by activists on both sides of the debate.

    I’m struggling to find out what the ‘poorer’ is in relation to. It’s not on annual income, is it on accumulated annual income? If so than 10% over 15 years is a steady decline, but not particularly surprising. At that point I also always want to know what is included in that annual income figure. A place like Germany or France has an insurance healthcare system. We don’t. So incomes there are a bit higher to compensate for paying that health insurance, whereas we pay that through our tax bill.

  3. We could follow the French but then an again it would mean we all have to get up and riot/ protest and take the occasional beating from brutal police.

  4. >The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has warned that the party won’t “quickly turn on the spending taps” if they win the next general election – insisting **that economic growth must raise living standards in every community**.

    I can’t remember if that’s the “trickle-down economics” or ” a rising tide floats all boats” ‘philosophy’ of deceit. Probably the latter. Either way, if there’s no spending increases or Tax re-focus it simply means those that *have* will continue to do well whilst the rest will continue to struggle until some nebulous time in the future. How inspiring, eh?
