Not many comments on here about the vote of no confidence in the Labour first Minister of Wales.... are we suggesting that he isnt like other Labour politicians...?

I mean, even Boris never had a vote of no confidence against him (although he should have, and the fact he didnt is for me another reason not to support Tories!)

I'll be interested how they undo the time bomb left for them on Lifetime allowance as some people have been adding money like its going out of fashion in last two years whilst it didnt exist... if they reimpose it with no allowance for the fact that you could add a fair chunk above the old one, plus growth, in that period, I'll be cashing in as soon as they explain the rules, to avoid an unreasonable tax bill....no point putting in the graft if you dont keep the money

And then I might go and work at the tax office in one of the many new tax investigator roles they are going to need to raise the extra ?6.5bn from tax dodgers.I'd enjoy that....

So you agree then because the last 14 years have been exceedingly sh1t, the next 5 can be not quite as sh1t and its a result? I have higher hopes but sadly think we are in for another 5 years of crap, say one thing and do something different... as the debt level rises, the tax take rises, services get more money and get no better...

At least by the next one I'll be able to decide what I think and sod off somewhere else if I dont like the options...

You say we have moved on but have we....? Farage seems popular and all he talks about is stopping the boats. Labour kept saying we have a plan, lets get away from chaos of conservatives, and Sunak just kept saying be bold. Its all about the sound bites, Labour havent even issued their manifesto yet....

And we will be substituting one bunch of incompetent, stretch the truth, do nothing to really change things for... a party that are saying they will stick to the same fiscal rules, not raise any of the big taxes (really) and will just tinker round the edges... and have stuck in a bunch of numbers for where the money will come from which frankly are as made up as the Tories ?2k tax increase...

What we do need is a bold party that stops trying to save the sacred cows that arent working, learns from what others are doing in other countries, and do something radical....
