I'm not sure what Starmer has to do with the absolute deluge of wankers telling people who are struggling how they can survive on.pasta or by getting rid of family pets.
And Sandy is very much representative of tory thinking.

So what do we do? Give the poor fillet steak and a bit of truffle oil with some triple fried chunky chips?

Leaving aside the hate the poor aspect, what the fuck is that meal? It’s just random shit thrown together.

Well somehow other countries have managed to alleviate the rising energy costs for a start.

Weren't we told our energy costs would lower post brexit?

Well your mate Macron has for a start.
And yes, the current energy prices are nothing to do with brexit but we were told it would allow us to cut VAT on energy bills, wouldn't now be a good time to start?

All this reminds me of a question time episode in the 80’s. Gerald Kaufman was saying his constituents were so poor that they could only afford curry sauce and chips

How he’s concluded this I’ve no idea. Edwina had an answer - that’s unhealthy and expensive - they should eat cheese it’s cheap and healthier than curry sauce and chips

Back to the future

Wasn’t the whole point of Brexit we could be more nimble in response to events?

Events such as a global pandemic which the end of has driven global prices through the roof I don’t think was part of the planning.

It’s going to stabilise within 6 months anyway

But other countries have responded to unexpected events to try and help their citizens.

Then cut VAT for 6 months. This is exactly the sort of situation, along with importing food from cheaper areas that was sold as the reason for Brexit.

i agree vat should be cut and the green levy - I have actually said I never really got the point of privatising industries where there’s a controlled source. I never agreed with railway privatisation

I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm not suggesting you move on from your mother, I'm suggesting we allow the pm to move on and govern as elected. Removing him from office will be another sideshow whilst we go through rounds of votes and jostling for position, reshuffling the ministers and generally wasting time when there are more important things going on in the world. Removing him from office sadly won't bring back yours or anyone else's loved ones.
Great, so anyone can ignore whatever rules they like and follow his example.

Green levies are a bad policy, should be paid with borrowing for exactly this reason.

As I say the whole privatisation thing was a folly built into an 80’s yuppie share ownership culture. It’s always been a waste of time.

You transfer providers It makes no difference

Railways have always been an annoyance to me. Useless when nationalised and now worse.

God I hate people like this.

People like this just want the poor to suffer and won't be happy until they're getting scraps out of bins

What a twat. Thats about 250-300 kcal max, hardly a meal.

Knew there was a closet lefty in there somewhere. You'll be praising John McDonnell before you know it.

I once praised Mr McDonnell as you know. Ownership of such institutions isn’t left it right wing really

You do understand that they can be cheaper post brexit relative to other comparable countries. Problem is (for you) they aren’t. Another brexit myth because the fact is it’s within the government gift to do it, other governments within the EU have chosen to gift it, ours haven’t. Being in or out the EU is and always was irrelevant to energy prices but it was sold as another Brexit unicorn benefit.

I think the EU referendum had more to do with the constitutional question rather than the economic one.

So why do you keep on voting for the party that constantly keeps on doing it? Also, didn't you criticise Corbyn for suggesting nationalisation of railways?

And yes I know New Labour added a private element into some public services, which was a massive mistake and we'll be paying for it forever, but given the utter disaster it tends to be how come the supposedly 'economically competent' Tories haven't twigged yet? Personally, I suspect they have but they and their mates are doing quite nicely from the decision so fuck everyone else.

Well, even if that was true we’re stuck with a law breaking government, a law breaking chancellor, a law breaking PM with his law breaking wife who have zilch respect for the constitution of UK so they’ve shit all over that line too. Another brexit unicorn, the constitution has never meant as little as it does right now.
