So the Tories had no plan for growth outside the EU but went ahead with Brexit anyway. Now it's Labour's Brexit they seem to be continuing the trend.

Scottish government ministers have a wage rise freeze dating back to 2008. A minister should be paid £99,516pa but actually receives £81,449pa
voluntarily paying the difference back into public finances. I wonder why we hear so little about this and whether this would ever happen at Westminster?

No plan for more tax rises, says UK PM Starmer.
Wrong pledge.
Taxes need to rise on the rich, cut for the poor to reduce inequality.
Top 10% have 57% of the wealth, bottom 50% own less than 5%, poorest 10% have 0.02%.
Can't build good society on injustice.
