Save?

Ahhh. Even a cursory search finds, to Nationalise water, gas and electricity would cost an estimated £55.4-£196 billion. Significantly less than the ‘trillions’ Andrew Pierce claims. It’s these throw away claims which keep us in this neoliberal mire.

What’s the actual cost to nationalising these industries? Trillions is a wild figure to just throw out - especially if one is in support of the neoliberal, privatised agenda of the last 40 years. And guess what? It isn’t worked! Nationalise the lot. Bet it doesn’t cost anywhere near a trillion.

Tax cuts whilst cutting public services and welfare is going down like a lead balloon.

Looks like the sentencing, like the law the Tories introduced, is about protecting profits over the protection of the planet. Ludicrous.

That ok?

Austerity refers to strict economic policies that a government puts in place to reduce its budget deficit. This usually involves cutting public spending, increasing taxes, or both. Measures are often introduced during times of crisis or when a country is in significant debt.

I’m solely talking about the cuts to welfare.

I’m sorry? Are you say that there aren’t £5bn in cuts?

Anything but wealth taxes - that’s the message from Labour. There isn’t anything left to ‘cut’ back on. Cutting public services to prosperity does not work otherwise we’d be doing well right now. No to austerity.

Continued austerity isn’t what people voted for. It really does seem that Labour will do anything other than introduce a wealth tax. It’s lunacy and I worry what comes after this Labour government.
