What exactly has Labour said ......

[Pat ex]

Have to agree with you regarding all the anti Tory posters here. I was really hoping to hear what Labour has said but I guess the answer is nothing and forum members just like to take cheap pot shots at each other. Oh well guess Im better off out of the GD forum.

It's a bit pointless Labour drawing up a manifesto because they do not know the true state of affairs now. Any requirement for a manifesto could change substantially by the time it's needed.
They can, and do suggest the kind of direction they would take, then their ideas are put into practice by the Tories.

Same as all the anti U.K./remainers/anti Tory posters on here. **** all. Like Labour, all they can do is criticise. Of course if Labour ever got into parliament, no matter what they promised and said how they will fix things, they will trot out the usual "they left too big a mess" excuse.

It's the right wing tories and nutjob brexiteers that are anti UK...

As for that mess, care to remind us who has been power for 12 years?

And why they still blame labour for the complete screw up they are responsible for?

I see that the economic outlook for the UK has now been downgraded to negative...

Since you appear to rule out criticism of such things are we to assume that you applaud the downturn?

about sorting out the UK`s problems?

I had a look for you.

A windfall profits tax:

"Labour would put an end to the rise by taxing huge oil and gas profits"

When you are playing a game of chess and you are in 'check' you can either,
1. Make a move to get out of check
Or
2. You can fail to make any move and just discuss what your opponent will do after he check mates you.
Note: The UK is in check at the moment

The tories need to go, they're officiating over a complete and utter sh1t show and if they think Boris is the solution, they're deluded.

If Labour play this game correctly, they'll be as vague as they possibly can be about proposed policy until a GE is announced. The aim of the opposition during these times is to simply drive the knife in more and more, whilst evading in-depth scrutiny of their own plans as much as possible and convincing the electorate 'them bad, us good.'

Btw before anyone jumps down my throat, I'm not anti-tory. I'd be making the same observations the other way round if it were Labour in power (with x PMs in x months etc) and the tories in opposition.

Modern politics (actually maybe it was always thus) is as much if not more to do with playing the game as it is to do with policy.

A price cap freeze

"

• Stop the energy price cap rising. Under the Tories the price cap is set to rise again to £3,582 in October and again in January to £4,266. Labour would put an end to the rise by taxing huge oil and gas profits, saving you £1,000 this winter.

 

[JohnD]

• Tackle the injustice of prepayment meters, making sure that people who use prepayment meters don’t pay more for energy than people who pay their bills monthly.

 

[JohnD]

• Reduce energy demand and lower bills by insulating every one of the 19 million homes that need it across the country through our National Home Upgrade Plan.
• If the government had started this work last year, they could have insulated 2 million homes, saving households over £1000 a year.

 

[JohnD]

• Secure our energy supply and bring bills down in the long term by investing in sustainable, British energy including wind, tidal and solar power, and backing new nuclear energy projects.

I suppose you can't depend on people like

@just pumps and @Mottie

to give you a truthful answer.

[JohnD]

You already know they would get rid of incompetent idiot Liz Truss

 

[JohnD]

And would keep dishonest liar Buffoon Johnxon out of power.

 

[just pumps]

Next time a General Election is announced, I'm sure they will publish a Manifesto setting out their plans for the country.

Yes I am aware of how the campaigning trail of lies from all parties goes John, in the meantime what do you personally know?

Some other Labour ideas for you

That have already been implemented (hooray!)

Here are some examples of when Conservative governments have borrowed from their challengers on the opposite benches.

Windfall tax​

The Labour party first called for a windfall tax on oil and gas producers nearly five months ago. The opposition forced a binding vote in the House of Commons on the proposal, but the Conservatives voted it down. It was defeated by 310 votes to 248. Sunak announced the tax on Thursday.
