Classic Labour stupidity.

Those who are not wealthy enough to exit the country will end up paying the tax burden of those who have gone.
Classic Labour stupidity!
Sir Keir suffered a major sense of humour failure over the studio audience laughing at his reference to his father being a toolmaker.
He of course knows full well that the audience was not laughing at his father, or his profession, but at the fact that Starmer uses the phrase "my father was a toolmaker" at every opportunity he gets. Nonetheless Starmer jumped at the chance to feign wounded pride.
It is also somewhat disingenuous, as Rodney Starmer (Keir's father) in reality, operated the Oxted Tool Company. His own independent toolmaking enterprise until the 1990s. By all accounts, he was a proficient self-employed tradesman, devoid of superiors or overseers, operating from a rented workshop on an industrial estate rather than a conventional factory setting.
Wow - Labour’s own costings document shows net tax rises of £8.5 billion in 2028-29.

Add that to current OBR forecast, and tax as a share of GDP rises to 37.4%.
That’s higher than 1948 record of 37.2%, 2022/3 burden of 36.3%, or 2023/4 burden of 36%.
The highest in history.
This of course doesn't take account of other tax rises coming with a Labour administration eg:
- Council tax revaluations
- Pension fund raids
- Increased green levies on energy bills to pay for their ludicrous net zero policies.
My summary of mainstream parties:
— David Paton (@cricketwyvern) June 10, 2024
· Conservative: Blairism + extreme net zero policies
· Labour: as above but even more extreme net zero policies
· Lib Dem: as above + anti-women/anti-Christian bigotry
· Green: extreme authoritarianism + extreme anti-women/anti-Christian bigotry
The media and European political parties are in a state of shock after yesterday's EU elections gave the socialists and centre parties a drubbing.
Macron has called an election for early July, in the hope that he can persuade people that the policy of mass migration that is destroying Europe's national economies and culture is still the right thing to do.
He will fail!
Meanwhile in the UK, the electorate will probably give Labour a landslide win; unless the polls and the media have misjudged people's moods here as well!
Whoever did this, it's such a brilliant piss-take of Starmer.... pic.twitter.com/8u2WpV4W49
