Is there any space where you're allowed to criticise Starmer or lament about their proposed policies for the next five years? I thought the centre was supposed to be where the "adults" do politics. But how can that be possible if we're not allowed to talk politics.
It all has a bit of the right complaining about remainers "talking down Britain."
Of course there is. But unless they are in power, they can't do shit. Criticise the fuck out of them when they are in power and actively not doing what you want.
But win first, meaningful changes later.
I suspect they are going to up taxes on businesses, reversing the corporate rate tax cuts and offshoring, Dutch sandwich shenanigans.
Now putting that in a manifesto to win? Not so easy.
When in power? Fuck yeah. Super majority. Fuck Starbucks, Amazon, etc...The manifesto is more marketing brochure than blueprint. I think it should be treated as such.

From the manifesto:
Labour will cap corporation tax at the current level of 25 per cent, the lowest in the G7, for the entire parliament, and we will act if tax changes in other countries pose a risk to UK competitiveness. We will retain a permanent full expensing system for capital investment and the annual investment allowance for small business. And we will give firms greater clarity on what qualifies for allowances to improve business investment decisions.
