Taxes need to rise. Not fall. Sooner or later the public and dissent will all turn on each other.

Well At', assuming Kier Starmer and his crew win the next general election - your wish could well be granted! Taxes will probably rise - as will public dissent. Personally, regardless of politics, I couldn't vote for a man who doesn't know what a woman is and doesn't know whether his two children are both boys, both girls or one of each. He's not fit to hold public office, IMO.

I agree re: Kier Starmer. He is simply emulating Blair will not end well as he has no belief other than chasing a seat. Even his own party is not happy with him. I suspect he may get booted sooner or later. He is not winning but the tories are giving him the position.

Have you considered LibDems?

Have you considered LibDems?

You gotta be kidding!!!
They're the third leg of the uni-party: if the Tories and Labour are two cheeks of the same ar$e - the LibDems are the crack in the middle - and full of 'it! Besides, Ed Davey is another politician who doesn't know what a women is - so he's no more fit to stand office than Starmer - and that's before one takes the Post Office scandal into consideration.
Next . . .?!

Building network of free couches where each dedicate 1 hour per working day for free support so each couches 5 people and then next 5 etc I organize now online group for 10 goals writing and meanwhile going to certificate as life coach. All needed is 1 hour per day first dedicate to 30 hours couching course learning and then 45 minutes day free couching commitment. And 15 minutes daily online group goals writing. Thats it. Anyone interested here to join movement?
