Pathetic effort at PMQs today when Sunak actually had the gall to criticise a professional barrister for having acted for people who had done something wrong.
No surprise to see that Sunak either doesn't understand or doesn't have any time for professional duties and integrity. |  | | |

Sunk has spent his whole political career acting in the interests if wrongdoers, he's got no grounds to criticise. |  |

I think there’s a case for taking the vote from the 20% that support them. They’re clearly incapable of rational thought.
On a serious note, Sunak. Oh dear. |  | | |

I think this is more about how awful the Tories have shown themselves to be since 2019 (and beforehand, but they've really ramped it up since 2019) than it is about Starmer being seen as an especially good leader. There's little enthusiasm for Starmer but he is in the position of leading the other party at a time when the Tories are rightly loathed. You could stick Paul Lambert in charge of Labour and they should still win the next election. |  |

It will be interesting to see if the Tories lose as badly as Labour did in 2019. Can a party who have decimated the country for 13 years get as comprehensively trounced as Labour under Marxist terrorist supporter Jeremy Corbyn. i think it will be close. |  |

They have been decimating the country for about 50 years and yet strangely a lot of people that got fat off it have failed to notice. Fortunately though they can now vote Labour too for more of the same. Heady days indeed. | |

As the link may be paywalled, this is the introduction.
Rachel Reeves has hinted at tax cuts for top earners as the shadow chancellor attempts to recast Labour as the party of economic growth.
Ms Reeves vowed to ensure “success is celebrated” under a Labour government as she outlined ambitions to ease the burden of Rishi Sunak’s multi-year stealth tax raid on workers.
Speaking to The Telegraph at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, she said that lowering taxes on “working people” remains a priority, including those paying the highest 45p rate.
Ms Reeves said that freezing income tax thresholds in the face of rising inflation “has affected people paying the top rate of tax and the basic rate of tax, and both of those groups of people are working hard, but getting less every month in their pay packets.”
She added: “My instinct is to have lower taxes.” [Post edited 18 Jan 9:08]

She's right though, tax cuts for the rich is exactly what the UK needs...
Fancy getting into politics to be a sh1te version of the Torys.

Telling people what they want to hear will always be a vote winner. In a way Corbyn proved that last election. |  |

However, asked if she agreed that she wanted lower taxes on workers “across the spectrum”, including those earning above £100,000, the shadow chancellor responded: “Yes”. | |

Hard to call. A key difference is the Tories still have a huge chunk of their media chums cheerleading for them, rather than convincing the hard of thinking that pretty standard European social democracy is actually Marxism. | |

The gradual abandonment of everything that Starmer stood for made me resign a couple of months ago from a party that bears no resemblance to the party it once was, even under Brown or Miliband (who was seen as a dangerous lefty by the Blairites).
I also resigned in 2003, not because of Iraq but because of the direction that Blair was taking the party in, but re-joined when Brown took over. [Post edited 18 Jan 9:18]

On a basic level, I find it odd that Labour are looking at how unpopular the Tories are and thinking to themselves "let's not deviate too far from what these guys have been doing". I get that there should be less corruption and not as much nastiness but surely we can ask for a bit more than that? | |

Agreed. And it was a criticism I had of Blair when he came to power (by, for example, sticking to Tory spending plans), because if you can't be slightly more radical when the Tories are so unpopular, you are never likely to be when the difficulties of government hit, and the right wing media have you in their sights.

Seems a weird base to target given it’s so small it’s not going to swing an election. You’d think few people on that money would be voting for this government anyway given their handling or the economy and pushing Brexit through.
Still I guess MP’s have got to think of how their post political career earnings are going to be taxed… | | | |
