@EndWokeness Housing associations have just agreed a ten year rent increase plan. Ultimately to appeal to lenders to build much needed new homes. How will the Greens in Hackney change this? Unlikely and this isn’t thought through. Nice words. Appealing to people. But likely unachievable
@KemiBadenoch Or pay them fairly? The job of being PM is also about innovation…how would you ensure they were paid fairly and proportionately for their “vital” jobs? Seems easy to just ban strikes and much harder to sort the finances. Do better maybe?
@piersmorgan@BBCNewsnight I think nothing is going to happen as it landed just as they expected. I think it’s all been carefully planned…the initial hype around big tax increases only to drop a damp squib that isn’t really headline worthy in terms of tax hikes but is in terms of minimum wage and CB!
@owenjonesjourno It was obvs they were unlikely to deliver cos opposition, the place where you can throw mud and say all the “right” things is easier than delivering/leading. the same with Jezza, & I feel it’ll be the same with Your Party and Zack! Who is laying it out honestly & has a real plan?
@jeremycorbyn@ZohranKMamdani Everything I’ve read indicates only a very small amount of his pledges will actually be deliverable. NYC may have voted for aspirations which sets a great tone but a betting man would probably short his position! Good luck to him tho. Hope he pulls it off!
@SholaMos1@BBBookFestival Dawn Butlers coconut comments are hurtful to my family who grew up in care away from their culture and got called coconut and worse because of it. Am MP having the audacity to say such things and claim to be kind and compassionate isn’t fooling anyone. Apologise at the least.
@_BoldPolitics@ZackPolanski@garyseconomics Zack mate you sound like Jezza did when I joined the Labour Party…it sounds lovely and hopeful but how will you achieve what Jezza couldn’t? I’ll vote green if you lay out the plan with detail for how you’ll overcome the barriers that exist preventing “for the many not the few”
@owenjonesjourno YP…It’s not really the answer we need to fascism is it? Another establishment party wearing “cool” clothes to get in with the kids. In your infinite wisdom Owen…what is needed in reality to fight fascism cos it ain’t YP and never was!
@zarahsultana Self obsessed wanna be celebrities playing politicians for clicks and likes. Only the young with their underdeveloped brains could ever possibly support this silly idea. And I joined Labour for Jeremy. Wtf has happened these past few years in politics? I’m out.
@BBCNewsnight So the politicians can listen and respond to comments on X but us mere mortals shouldn’t as it’s just too dangerous for us to hear? Please. It’s like when journos try to encourage cancelling people they themselves not only follow but have alerts set up for!
@Kwajotweneboa Surely they could raise the funds they need to greatly improve the social housing from some of the wealthier people in the borough … perhaps with a one off tax?
@YourParty2025 I’m just interested in how all of this is going to happen, what has changed since the last time that will lead to some of his policies being enacted. So far it’s the same message as when I joined up but without any detail. When will the detail be available?
