@PJTheEconomist@DanNeidle@thetimes Thatcher’s greatest triumph was moving the centre of UK politics so far to the right that the likes of you can’t recognise neoliberalism when you are neck deep in it.
@BuckCllr@RichardJMurphy Well the solution clearly isn’t more neoliberalism and before 1979 it was possible to buy a house, raise a family, run a car and go on holiday on a factory worker’s salary so maybe we try a bit of socialism for a change.
@GlobalPOVs@labourlewis@AndyBurnhamGM There is no grooving benefit burden. UK government welfare spending has been roughly the same % of total government spending for the last 20 years.
@mad4snow@labourlewis It seems the private sector can’t run trains or water either so may as well try nationalisation again with proper funding this time.
@DaleVince They have to get through the next 2 years or there won't be a ten year project and they aren't going to do it with Starmer and Rachel from Accounts who have forgotten how to be socialists.
@_Unknown_D_ 1% paying 30% of income tax just highlights the gross inequality in our society. Besides, the real rich don't pay income tax. Tax wealth not work.
