The Start Of Labour On The Road To Victory

[gulliver1]

Rachel Reeves made a sensational Speech today as she quite rightly says Labour is the Party for British Business As she pledges to lead the most pro-business treasury that Britain has ever seen ,While pledging not to increase Business tax ...Go for it Girl.

Sensational: presenting information in a way that is intended to provoke public interest and excitement, at the expense of accuracy.

The future Chancellor's Speech came after 121 top business figures signed a letter endorsing Labour's economic plans.

It was so refreshing when M/S Reeves was asked a question to hear her reply immediately. Instead of the usual  "Erm or umm" you hear from a Tory speaker when they are trying to think up an answer.

Ha ha. From the Sky News article:

 "The letter, it must be said, does not have quite the star quality of business letters in years gone by.

There are only a handful of genuinely top-rank business leaders of the very recent past on it, such as the former Sky Betting & Gaming chief executive Richard Flint and the former Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye, while the only FTSE-100 company represented on the list is JD Sports, whose chairman Andy Higginson is one of the signatories.

And more than one of the signatories - such as Richard Burge, former chief executive of London Chamber and Commonwealth Enterprise Council - were already members of the Labour Party."

What was refreshing was her refusal to call herself a socialist.

Methinks Labour is going to inherit a lot of difficulties once they get into power.The last Labour government left a note saying there is no money left,this time the Tories will be leaving a note saying sorry Kier,we are 3 trillion in debt,and getting worse.

Nice to see The founder of Wikipedia signing a letter of endorsing Labour.

wow, a ringing endorsement from the organisation that claims Winston Churchill is alive and living in sprightly retirement in the village where they used to film Last of the Summer Wine....

Ynnafymmi @ 14.45 I am quite expecting the Outgoing Tory chancellor to leave Labour a note in the  safe saying there is no money left after the likes of Michelle Mone . Matt Hancock and nearly every Tory mp. Uncle Tom Cobley and all have milked the tax payer dry. With the outgoing Govt.

Mushroom 14.51 As long as they don't claim that Maggie Thatcher is still alive.. I couldn't give a fig🤣

"Over the last 14 years the Tories have have pushed the standards of public life so low that a rattle snake could not squeeze under the bar now".

Don't you just love these quotes  ....I do.
