If a government of any other country scrapped jury trials, suspended MPs for voting against them, financially punished farmers and pensioners, arrested peacefully protesting farmers, enforced mandatory digital ID, allowed a horrendous number of people to be prosecuted for online comments, cancelled local and mayoral elections and lied about the status of government finances, the media would call them a power-mad dictatorship.
Imagine a government so deceitful and vindictive that they fabricate a £22 billion black hole to justify punishing farmers with the inheritance tax? Welcome to the Labour government.
Lying about a £22bn black hole to justify punishing pensioners, disabled & farmers has to be one of the most disingenuous & vindictive government policies in living memory. Starmer and Reeves should resign over this. But they won’t. Power is more important to them than integrity.
“£22 billion black hole”
This grotesque lie from Reeves and Starmer led to thousands of farmers facing financial ruin with the inheritance tax. It’s one of the most shameful and duplicitous economic acts ever committed by a government. Absolutely shameful.
“Let’s make up a £22 billion black hole to justify cutting the winter fuel allowance from pensioners, cutting welfare from the disabled, punishing farmers with inheritance tax and small businesses with tax rises. And when we get busted for lying, we will play the victim.”
How has Blair Murray gone from being our best player to a total liability in 6 months?
How is Ben Thomas even in the 23?
Max Llewelyn should have tried second row…

Labour are about to raise your taxes because Labour don’t want to stop spending £15 billion on asylum hotels, £13 billion a year on foreign aid, £12 billion on Net Zero, £10 billion on welfare for people who aren’t even British, £7 billion importing Afghans, £6 billion subsidising social housing for people who also aren’t British, £4 billion on welfare for people with “anxiety”, £1 billion policing the small boats, £600 million looking after foreign criminals, and £250 million translating NHS material into other languages for people who cannot even be bothered to learn English.
Labour could make different choices; but Labour don’t want to.
