[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1124609, member: 74121"] It's a low bar, but credit to Labour for saying they'd reverse the Tory pension change that cuts the treasury funds by handing cash exclusively to what are effectively millionaires. I appreciate Labour have to be very bland and say nothing that gives ammo to a largely right wing, pro-growing wealth inequality media but thank goodness they drew a line in the sand with this one. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uks-labour-attacks-planned-pension-changes-giveaway-rich-2023-03-16/[/URL] Real term pay cuts for those on low and average wages. An inability to properly fund public services or fund a military to defend freedom in Europe via conventional forces, but they can find the cash for that most urgent of needs, adding to the already excessive wealth of millionaires. Is it an even worse policy than subsidising the fossil fuel industry while it is making record profits? It's a close call. :p [/QUOTE]
