(“It’s not the despair, I can take the despair. It’s the hope I can’t stand”). Clockwork Orange

I am sure Labour and Starmer have reversed the dreadful mess that was left by Cameron, Johnson, Truss and Sunak, but they have not countered the despair. Utility prices rising, shopping costs rising, inability to see a doctor until terminally ill, The main stream tory press do not help as they revel in squalor and shit. NHS waiting lists are down but happened to the hope – of a better future and absence of sleaze. I am not sure anyone on the Labour side has the guts to make the changes. Abolish the House of Lords, nationalise water companies, tax the techno’s and Amazon; cut student loan costs. And get their head out of the fucking sand on migration. The simple demographic fact is that we need migrants or need to get some of the millions not working into employment. Raise the income tax threshold but make being idle less attractive! How can not getting a job be financially more viable than working? Single parents could be trained as childminders? Farage offers change but not hope (apart from racism and xenophobia and making the rich richer). Paying for the above – east – tax the richest. The list of highest tax payers was published recently – featured Harry Styles, JK Rowland and Haarland and Salah as amongst the UK’s 100 highest tax payers. Fuck me, there are a lot of rich bastards who are avoiding tax via pension funds etc. Please replace despair with requitted hope!
