Reform Policies

Anyone who thinks the lost lot of tories were tough and unfair is going to be in for a shock in a few years when we get some proper cuts.

Can't help thinking you missed a letter out there.

Errr yes. As it's crippling business.

The minimum wage is the single most successful economic policy in a generation, and has boosted the wages of millions of Britain’s lowest earners by £6,000 a year • Resolution Foundation

Raising the minimum wage: its effects on poverty and employment – The Sloman Economics News Site

In the Low Pay Commission’s 2019 report, 20 years of the National Minimum Wage, it stated that since 2000 it had commissioned more than 30 research projects looking at the NMW’s effects on hours and employment and had found no strong evidence of negative effects.

Don't forget - if people have more money, particularly those at the low end of the earnings spectrum, they go out and spend it. In a nutshell, nothing cripples a business more than nobody being able to buy what it makes.

The way things are going with this lot and the tories before there'll be one highly paid worker left, the rest will be on the dole, as nobody can afford to employ anyone.

And that would reduce the benefits bill how?

Personally I think it's f------ outrageous that the taxpayer is subsidising the profits of businesses by paying in-work benefits to people who aren't paid enough by their employer.

Nobody's got wealthier as a result of the rises anyway - it's just inflated house rents, bills and everything else.

If rents have gone up landlords have got wealthier.

The one and only reason govts keep raising it is to increase income tax revenue. It's not about helping poor people.

Do some research.

Is N7 ok ?

You could try arguing with the points he just raised by using facts, rather than writing that.

I can tell you’re bored. No one will take you and your nonsense on anymore.

If you blame others you’ll never succeed

How hard will I have to look to find you blaming asylum seekers for 14 years of Tory destruction?

How hard will I have to look to find you blaming immigrants for 14 years of Tory destruction?

How hard will I have to look to find you blaming benefit claimants for 14 years of Tory destruction?

You won’t find it, none of the above is true.

If so that will be because the penny has finally dropped that they need intelligent, rational, fact and evidence based arguments to do it.

I’d say, it’s because you’re boring everyone to tears.

Than when? America has always been a country full of a lot of very poor people.

Given the size of the US economy, and the length of time it's been at, or near, the top of a range of size-of-economy tables, does that tell you anything about the way that country has been run?

You would.

You would.

Take a vote…

A smidge under £10k per term.

Starmer passed the 11-plus examination and gained entry to Reigate Grammar School, which at the time was a voluntary-aided selective grammar school. The school converted into an independent fee-paying school in 1976, while he was a student. The terms of the conversion were such that his parents were not required to pay for his schooling until he turned 16, and when he reached that point, the school, by now a charity, awarded him a bursary that allowed him to complete his education there without any parental contribution.
