I'm simply avoiding the same old hamster wheel, Ian.
The one where someone posts criticism of the tories, you try to turn it back onto Labour, chuck in a couple lefty takeover conspiracy theories, give your anti union prejudices another outing, then finish by insisting you're unbiased and balanced and will see what the manifestos say before deciding which way to vote.
Alongside the inevitable mention of pensions, of course.
Either way I see this morning shareholders have denied Thames Water any further support, probably meaning the Government stepping in with yet more public money in the not too distant future.
Re-nationalisation or somehow funding a failed private company?
Or simply call an election and put everyone out their misery...
Whereas what I see is you throw up some claims, someone gives a different view or alternate facts and then you ignore it and then at some later stage its just because I worry about a lefty takeover....
So how would Labour solve the NHS problem? we are all paying more taxes that at pretty much any time since the war (well those of who dont work cash in hand), when is enough enough? And how can you raise more if we are already paying more?
As for an election putting everyone out of their misery, even Rachel Reeves says she doesnt have a magic wand and it wont get better overnight...
Might worry about tax incomes though as apparently Rayner has a tax adviser, who she wont share, who knows rules that no one I know knows about (and my friends include tax partners at the biggest accountancy firms!), But its OK as SKS backs her even though he hasnt seen the advice...
PS got my Labour missions leaflet - because I do look at them and the manifestos before deciding .... It says "Get the NHS back on its feet by paying NHS staff to deliver 2 million more appointments on evenings and weekends". Lower down it says everything is fully funded. Putting those together with what you have already said.... where are these staff coming from? How much will it cost? Where is the money coming from? Its fully costed so there has to be an operational plan. Tell us....or will the devil be in the detail and big words are much easier than showing the detail...
Please tell me that is how you look at it and dont just go, its Labour it will all be fine!
PS it also says that we will have 13000 extra police and PCSOs (I assume they mean or and we arent having 26000 in total) and breakfast clubs in every primary school, and 500 new specialist teachers.... is that magic money tree available for all, or if not where is it being funded from? After all, its all worked through and fully funded....
(my guess is there will be mentions of efficiency gains and better collection and less waste somewhere in it)
