Labour Tax: More and more tax as an alternative to less and less economic activity?

Lord Kinnock, former Labour Leader, tells Andy Burnham to get 12 Billiion Pound more by increasing tax. The former Leader, known for having celebrated electoral victory on the very evening when the Labour Party was crashed on the polls, is now suggesting that increasing the burden on wealth creators is the solution for a battered economy and exhauted Treasury. So Mr Kinnock´s solution to cure the patient: Kill the patient.

Britons have less and less disposable incoe or afraid to spend whatever they have left. Caution when it comes to spending is justifiable, especially when more and more people are losing their jobs or can hardly get a new job.

When businesses scale down their operations is not due to increased optimism, but to growing uncertainty. With so many unsolved conflicts and more conflicts on the horizon. When Autum comes, energy consumption will go up at a time when energy prices go up and down. How can you foresee what is happening next? 

We heard the headlines about "we are gong to do this, we are going to do that". Can the new Labour government deliver? Right at the time when Andy Burnham was appointed Prime Minister, pundits were saying "He is Labour´s last chance." Having obtanined a historical majority in 2024 with a lower percentage of the votes, Labour appeared to be an invincible force. A series of mishaps and bad decisions, brought down Keir Starmer, the leader that got the said historical majority. Andy Burnham will be touring across Britain in an effort to gather support, but he is starting from a very low point. He was not chosen by the Electorate in a General Election. He was appointed after winnng a local election. 

The Autumn Budget could prove to be the downfall of the Labour government. With limited options, under pressure from a very demanding and impatient Labour Party, every decision the newly appinted Prime Minister takes is bound to be controversial. 

 

 

Neil and Glenys and more of the same

Whether their names are Neil Kinnock, Glenys Kinnock, Tony Blair or Peter Mandelson it makes no difference. These European Champions and Heroes of Social Justice are all in it, having the time of their lives and they have got one thing in common: they are all members of the Elites that at one point or another run the Labour Party 'for the benefit of the poor and the dispossessed'.

Buckloads of taxpayers' money via the British Parliament or via the European Union by courtesy of the British Public, they have made a living promoting an agenda that has bankrupt Britain.

And when the issue is a Referendum on Membership of the European Union, they are all in it together and this comes a no surprise because it is their main source of income.

At one point or another, they spoke about an elected House of Lords but they wouldn't cut the branch of the tree on where they stand. Of the four of them, Tony Blair seems to be the only one wasn't paid by the European Union with monies coming form the British Treasury and is not a member of the House of Lords.

Remain as in Remain Campaign means 'leave things as they are and keep the privileges that we have got'. Never mind if British farmers go to the wall. Never mind if British fishing quotas are taken over by outsiders and British fisheries are closed down. As long as the 'European Champions and Heroes of Social Justice' are still around, Britain as a country will get a very bad deal.

For many years, they spoke about the NHS and saving the NHS but rest assured that they will happily justify trade deals with the US that could put an end to the NHS as soon as their paymasters tell them to do so.
