Labour once again proving they are completely unfit to run the country.
There are a number of posters on here who choose to the believe that the labour Party will destroy the country and makes slaves of us all. Many of these people also bang on about how they no longer represent the ordinary man living as they do in a metropolitan London bubble.
The same people also believe that Boris Johnson, Jacobs Rees Mogg and the rest of their privately educated chums inhabit the real world and understand and care about the the ordinary working person. How naive can you get?
With regard to policies to help ordinary people why not try these:
• Stop migrants claiming benefits until they have lived in the UK for two years
• Recruit an additional 1,000 border staff, paid for by a small charge on non-visa visitors to the UK
• Safeguard over 10,000 front line police officers over the next three years
• People working in public facing roles in the public sector will have to speak English
• "Cut the deficit every year and balance the books as soon as possible in the next Parliament"
• Bring back the 50p top income tax rate for those earning over £150,000
• End the non-dom rule that allows some wealthy UK residents to limit the tax they pay on earnings outside the country
• "Cut and then freeze" business rates
• Guarantee an apprenticeship for all school leavers who attain certain grades and "require any firm that gets a large government contract to offer apprenticeships"
• Ban zero-hours contracts deemed to be "exploitative"
• Introduce a British Investment Bank
• Ensure all primary schools guarantee access to childcare from 08:00 to 18:00
• Double paternity leave to four weeks, with paternity pay increased by more than £100 a week
• Build at least 200,000 new homes a year by 2020 with "first priority for local first time buyers"
• Guarantee three-year housing tenancies with a "ceiling on excessive rent rises"
• Raising the minimum wage to more than £8 by October 2019
• Freezing rail fares for one year
• Protecting tax credits for working families so they rise with inflation
• Introducing a new National Primary Childcare Service, guaranteeing childcare from 08:00 to 18:00
The manifesto also pledges there will be no increase to the basic or higher rates of income tax, National Insurance or VAT.
I can't see much wrong with that.
