Another angry voice

British Gas is a private company remember, Thatcher and her Tory government sold it off.

Just like lots of other companies sadly this happens quite frequently, do you expect Labour to be challenging each one? This is really a union matter and we should have stronger union laws.

As people have said the matter lies in employment law and you have to be in government to change that. When Labour were last in Government they changed the 2 year rule before you get employment protection to 1 year, the Tories got back in and changed it to 2 year again.

The people deserve the government they put into power!
 
AVG is an excellent political blog. If you read it you will see that he attacks the government on a regular basis. This post, from his blog, is clearly aimed at pointing out that Starmer could be doing a lot more to highlight poor employment protections. I wholeheartedly agree. I have a feeling the days people were given contracts and working rights may soon be a thing of the past, all in the name of putting the country’s finances in order!!!
 
The op is doing the tories job for them. We spend to much time arguing how left Labour should be. It's a distraction the tories love.

Starmer, whatever his faults is a vast improvement on a criminal tory government who sanctioned state murder in the name of making a few quid.

I could highlight a lifetime of pro bono human rights work that starmer has done but that wouldn't be enough.

I could point out how starmer had the tory back benchers laughing at their leader. It still wouldn't be enough.

Everyone wants something slightly different from their political party, that's life. Get behind the ideology that's its better for the country and stop back stabbing the best chance we have right now off getting rid of the tories.

It's not football where you get a new manager bounce. It's real life with real consequences.

The plp are not in a state its supporters are.

This would make sense if Starmer's crew hadn't actively worked to lose two general elections, so wedded to the ideology that they were.
I for one will never vote Labour with that man in charge. A man in the pockets of Zionists and who is throwing left wing jews out of the party is not getting my vote.

And that is absoloutely your choice BBG, I don't have a problem with that. However, most other votes are generally wasted, and rightly or wrongly it tends to come down to do you want tory or labour rule.
 
Well the main difference between being one or the other will be the amount of abuse you get on here.
Well one party has been in Government for 11 years and the other hasn't.

One party has presided over the most brutal period of austerity telling the nation that the other party would spend money we haven't got but they themselves then found the most magical money tree ever.

One party promised to maintain our armed forces then set about dismantling them.

One party criminally underfunded the NHS which came home to roost with the onset of the pandemic. 4.7m people are on the waiting list to commence hospital treatment.

One party reduced the number of police officers by 20,000 then made a great deal of its announcement to increase police numbers by yes, you've guessed it, 20,000.

One party whipped its MPs into voting against a broader inquiry into the Cameron/Greensill lobbying scandal.

Tories always claiming they're victims with not a tear for the poor souls in foodbank queues growing year by year under their watch.
 
Whilst Starmer should be more vocal in his criticism of this, any attention on him is misdirecting the blame from those responsible and that, in part, allows the Conservative status quo to function.

At present you have a binary choice Johnson to remain as PM or Starmer to become PM, for me Starmer, even if its just on the basis of competence and honesty, is an infinitely better choice than Johnson, if you were in the desert and given the choice of a drink of urine or bleach, as unpalatable as urine might seem, you wouldn't choose bleach.
 
Labour.
Tory
Not sure what the difference is really.
And therein lies the problem, the main one being dishonesty. If you can't see the lie in your statement you're either dumb or just plain dishonest.

There is acres of space between Johnson and starmer. You may not like some of his policies, you may just not like him but to equate him to Johnson is clearly nonsense.

Within one year of his leadership he has dropped all ten of his pledges to the voters so you must question either his competence or his honesty.

Well, there is an alternative to all this, at the next election kick Labour out and vote for a Boris Johnson Conservative government 👍

What are his policies?
