To suggest there wouldn’t be wastage in a Labour government during a pandemic where rapid spending of £410 billion in a one off pandemic is also brave thinking.

We’d be moaning about whatever government is in charge right now. You can dream about a paradise under Labour but working under the same conditions, I think you would have similar results.

As it currently stands, I’ll be voting Labour next election but could swing. I don’t really know what they offer much different though…
I think this is a very reasoned post and follows my own thinking.

The simple fact seems to be that ALL of our political elite are incompetent.

When I hear that Jeremy Hunt, Zahawi etc “made millions” in business before coming into politics I find myself both mystified and cynical.

I wonder just how these idiots managed this unless already backed by historic family wealth?

If you then factor in the public’s expectations that life can never be tough and involve a period of hardship and abstinence from upgrading their tablet and iPhone then you have a toxic mix.

I’ve said on here before, those amongst you who quote “how bad it is” really have no idea if you didn’t live here through the 70’s. It’s true to say things are hard at present but up to this point, it’s nothing like the 70’s.

Talking of the 70’s, my grandparents didn’t moan during that tough period, they’d lived through the 20’s depression, the Jarrow March and two World Wars......they had perspective.

As for Labour, they have three huge problems,

1/ Starmer

2/ They can’t win seats in Scotland due to SNP dominance so they’ll need Sturgeon to join an hellish alliance to take power.

3/ All is not well behind the scenes with the “Momentum” type disciples seriously considering starting a new party.

In our politics incompetence rules I’m afraid, I have no confidence in anyone I see at the moment.

I also feel that world affairs are in such turmoil that it’s almost beyond anyone to pick a see less way though all the issues and keep the majority in the U.K. happy.
