Currently, elections are won on 20% of the electorate. Unless people decide that voting is worth doing we are going to end up with a racist PM voted in by a minority of racists.

Any part time economists out there? Is there any substantial growth avaliable that will turn Reeves' fortune around?
Should the chancelor get over her shyness over imposing taxes from those who hold the wealth?
Creativity needed over orthodox economic policies?
Full timers also welcome

I wouldn't know where to start. 🤷
Every action has an opposite reaction, everything has to be run through a thousand scenarios each of them asking how will the bond market react? It has to be the worse job in the world and all that for £164.000 pa. She could earn much more than that in the city.

100 years ago Margaret Thatcher was born. And since I cannot think of a single lasting positive legacy we still enjoy today, I can't help but wonder why we're asked to mark the day.
Can anyone think of a single lasting positive legacy?

Is there just one of them who will take them down, wash and repair them and put them back up?
Not that bothered they're all looking very limp and sad now then. Their patriotism doesn't reach that far.

Surely if peace is at the centre, Trump would be met by Netanyahu and a Palestinian representative?

They should, and it is telling that the audience appeared to not have a clue what you were talking about.
A clear reflection on UK media.

I guess I always thought banks used deposits to invest and lend, if they don't, why not? It makes sense to me that they should.

Is the reason I can't get my head round much of this because of conditioning or because I'm just not very bright?

This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.

Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

I think his government will be so weak and incompetent that he'll have no other choice but go full dictator.
