Overthrowing capitalism is unlikely to happen in the near term and the discussion was about homelessness.
I think Labour will win a landslide this year, but 2029 (or earlier) will give voters enough time to be frustrated that despite all the talk about change, nothing will in fact change. That plus war on the horizon (literally maybe) and it seems that a right wing government of some description will be in power next. That may be a reform/tory merger of some sort, or it could even be labour lurching even further to the right. Either way, I fear we are headed into dystopia.
Because we are not a dictatorship and have no desire to be one.
I'm all for nationalising infrastructure, including houses, but you would still have to compensate shareholders unfortunately. If we didn't (which is an option) the markets would react very badly and make Liz Truss seem like a genius.
I'm in favour of a Land Value Tax, this means hoarding land becomes expensive. It also means grouse moores and golf courses become expensive (good things in my mind)
The house building companies already have vast amounts of land they own with planning permission in place. They restrict the amount of housing they build to artificially keep the prices high, if they build too many, the prices they could sell their houses for would drop, reducing profit. These are private companies and the government has little control over them. This is why every government for the last few generations has promised more houses and delivered nothing.
Makes me laugh that she thinks calling Tennant Rich is an insult when Sunnak is literally richer than the King
Just hedging his chances, if he doesn't win he wins his £8k bet, if he wins then his nose is in the trough at Westminster. It's win/win for him (and lose/lose for the public)
Yes, thats what will save the Tories, a new leader.....
The Workers Party of Britain springs to mind
BrewDog is a marketing company that just happens to sell (bad) beer.
It's astonishing they can be so bad at marketing
I'm surprised there hasn't been more of this. The extreme parties (both left and right) tend to attract the even more extreme to their banner.
The winners have to tread a careful path between placating their members and appealing to the general populace. I think this is one of the reasons why Labour will win, the centre ground is where the leaders of our country should be, people tend to want "normality" what ever that is.
I also think we should have PR instead of FPTP so the extremes at least get a voice in parliament rather than throwing bricks from the sidelines.
Starmer purged the left wing from his party, he can't be surprised when they don't vote for him.
Red tie or Blue tie, thats the choice
