Andy Burnham’s manifesto

[muddy]

What has Labour done for the north to date exactly ?
Grooming gang inquiry ring a bell for a start ?

This was also the result of tactical voting .

Both the Lib Dem's and the greens has very low percentages of people voting .
The Lib Dem's only got 163 votes

So what happened ?

They voted Labour I order to keep out reform .

And now that Burnham is all set for the top job pensioners are even more in their sights for taxation .They only to do is to spend it before Labour does it for you .

I may be wrong, but I think we're in for a rough ride with this man in the driving seat.

Has he actually said anything about his tax plans? Last I heard he was sticking tho the original manifesto on taxes (which of course team Starmer ignored). Trouble is he has also promised a big increase in both social housing and welfare with nothing said about where the money is coming from. I think he bought a special seed. From a bloke in a pub which he plans to grow into a magic money tree.

I think they said on the news a couple of days ago,  that Burnham is taking over on 17th July.

Where the money is coming from? Us of course

[muddy]

Yup we pensioners are right in the firing range .
As sure as eggs he will tax isas

The upcoming isa changes don't impact pensioners. They'd probably like to introduce involuntary euthanasia at 60. That would remove the pensions bill. Only for the plebs naturally.

I read an Asimov SF novel that included that. Pebble in the Sky. If any of that lot did it'll be in for sure. Their first try with cancelling winter fuel allowance so they need something new.

Same problem in Germany - money is missing everywhere.
However, we have to leave the church in the village as we say - I can't remember that we had such problematic times before - Covid - war in Ukrainia, war in Israel, Palestine and Iran, an American president who is changing his mind from one day to the other.
