WELL, Labour isn't hanging around. Rachel Reeves is still lying about the £22 billion 'black hole' yet is dishing out pay rises to their Union paymasters like a 'drunken sailor'

Still, some recipient Unions are threatening to go on strike. How's that for negotiating? Naïve or stupid? The pensioners can't carry all the cost, can they?

Still, we all know how this government will end, the same as all Labour governments. The country will be bankrupt, and public services will be worse, especially now Labour has normalised work from home for the public services.

This is without the new worker's regulations, making it easier to strike, harder to sack any employee. This of course will hit the wealth-creating private sector the most.

I cannot understand why Labour wants to penalise the people who fund public services. Owners can take their businesses anywhere, and they will.

Labour is a complete load of idiots; I thought the Tories were bad, I don't think Labour will last five years at this rate, they are so unpopular, and don't have much talent.
