@grayface_ghost@tech.lgbtStarmer: We can't tax the rich, that would hurt the economy
Also Starmer: The British people have spoken* and Brexit is final no matter how much damage that's done and continues to do to the economy
* What the British people said was, a third wanted to Leave, a third wanted to Remain, and a third didn't know or didn't care. Also, the year after, the British people said we wanted a Blue Tory government so you should resign, Keir. What's that? Changing views? Also, in the last election, 80% of the electorate didn't vote for you so the British people speaking doesn't seem to be high on your actual list of policy drivers mate
@grayface_ghost also, the British people said "this isn't a binding referendum and so I've done a protest vote to make a point" and "what is Brexit? I assume you mean, like, the same as now but blue passports, yeah?" I have no idea why Labour are letting Nigel Farage, Theresa May and Boris Johnson dictate that "the people" voted for cliff-edge Brexit and not "I didn't know we already had every veto and exemption known to man, can you just remarket that to us, I like fast passport control" Brexit
#FBPE @TimWardCam@c.im@Flisty @grayface_ghost There are also the ones who shouted at brown people in the streets the day after the referendum "we voted to get rid of you, why are you still here?"
@grayface_ghost hearing Reeves call them "the non-dom community" straight after Davos made me lose all faith. I really hope they start listening to some new people.
@grayface_ghost Comrade Starmlin is a Tory in Labour clothing, and only cares about dosh.
@Nicovel0@mastodon.social@grayface_ghost I’d like to know from which orifice has the evidence been pulled that taxing the better off a bit more to invest damages the economy, but cutting benefits to Keynes the weapons industry doesn’t.
I suspect that "the economy" here means the wealth of the superwealthy, of course.
