Okay, so, how do I, we, my partner and I, how will we be better off under a Starmer government? This is not a criticism of him, itās just a question.
Over the past two years, my monthly mortgage payment has increased by 25%. My energy bills have trebled. My weekly food shop has increased by around 25%. My travel to work has gone up by 10%.
My wages? Nothing. Not a sausage. Nowt. The square root of f*ck all. And this is the same for all my friends by the way, who live here in London who donāt do anywhere near as much as they used to because pints are now Ā£8 instead of Ā£6 and restaurants are Ā£58 instead of Ā£39. We have done what we are told to do. Move away, get a āgoodā job, get a house, get a career, work, save, have a nice life. Well we did that and are are being f*cked for it. Just like everyone else has who isnāt in that elite group of looters, venture capitalists, politicians or shareholders.
This stuff matters. People are f*cked. The country is F*CKED. It is happening in plain sight. We are being robbed blind.
So what is Keir Starmer doing, proposing, that will alleviate some of these strains? What is his plan? How will he make our lives better? Whatās his big idea?
