As always with politicians they say what they need to in order to get your vote then totally 180 when they get in. Sure they said they would close the tax loopholes such as non-dom status as well

Labour are no better than the fucking Tories. They had one shot at changing things after 14 years of that lot dragging us through disaster after disaster. Labour will be a one term government. Targeting the disabled instead of the super rich. Shame on you

We have a constitution 🤣

John A @johna69.bsky.social · 5d

So it can be done whether there is the appetite to do is another thing. Or just abolish HoL
