Sounds terrifyingly insecure. The basic tenet of cyber security is you DONT WANT 1 key to open all doors.

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 11h

This makes no sense.
1. Brexit is at least two things: Being out of the EU and being out of the Single Market.
2. Both of these can be reversed.
3. To blame a reversible problem for your harmful economic decisions, while still refusing to reverse that problem, is the behaviour of a fool.

Labour's Rachel Reeves thinks we're all stupid

After admitting that Brexit is costing us 4% of GDP

She suggested the UK-EU reset is mitigating that

It's not

0.13% GDP gain from UK–India deal
0.05% GDP gain from UK–US deal
0.3% GDP gain from UK–EU reset

What if they dont have the bodies, they are buried under rubble or destroyed?

Finally.

FINALLY.

They are starting to admit the truth.

But you know, they have other options to solve this apart from tax rises.

Get back into the EU as fast as possible.

Save the economy.

Digital ID has gone from needing to be used just for Work, to needed for "Banks, Healthcare, Childcare, rent and much more."

Monitor everybody all the time, to maybe slightly decrease migration.

No thanks.

Will British people require A level standard English to work in UK? That might be a tall ask.

But does disappear if the company goes bust. I am quite happy to let it go bust. Govt can then act like a PE firm and buy it for pennies on the pound

Disagree, the rot at the heart of our system is why peoples problems arent being solved. e.g. Michelle Mone is in the House of Horrors, a good example of what I am talking about.

No chance of that now, they have just given the wealthy farmers a tax break.

Glostermeteor 🔶 @glostermeteor.bsky.social · 2d

Sorry but why are they giving wealthy farmers tax breaks? They have caved to the RW lobby again.

Glostermeteor 🔶 @glostermeteor.bsky.social · 2d

'are paying their bills and mortgage/rent' And who sits in the House of Horrors? People that make all those things worse.

They do give a shit about corruption in politics, and HoL is very much at the centre of that.

'Besides, state ownership is far from a panacea - more useful to regulate effectively' If that is true why is Labour re-nationalising the railways?

Glostermeteor 🔶 @glostermeteor.bsky.social · 2d

Their proposed changes to the House of Horrors/Lords is just one example. It is absolutely outraged that there are Lords sitting there on a hereditary basis without stopping to think that having a bunch of unelected corrupt cronies appointed by one man might also be a bad idea.

The problem with Labour is it basically has the same belief system as the Tories, it just thinks a few tweaks to the status quo will do, when in reality the country needs radical and wholesale reform.

'Where do these idiots think the money comes from ?' What money? These are bankrupt businesses and have a value of Zero or less than zero. Thames Water is 23 billion GBP under water (pardon the pun).
