18·19 hours agoWe want a strong Republican party, one that is communist. (not in a Jackson Hinkle way)
7·19 hours agoAusterity, border guards & increased policing, yes. Everything else, no.
Sticking to tough spending rules in order to deliver economic stability
Code for austerity, some arbitrary cap on fiscal deficit.
Setting up Great British Energy, a publicly owned clean power energy company
How could that be done if spending rules are ‘tough’? By raising taxes on the rich? I highly doubt that even with the higher taxes, the Government would be able to raise enough revenues to ‘fund’ a green transition.
Cutting NHS waiting lists by providing 40,000 more appointments each week - funded by tackling tax avoidance and non-dom loopholes.
NHS would require a shit ton more spending than whatever could be raised by tackling tax avoidance. Decades of austerity has to be compensated for.
Launching a border security command to stop the gangs arranging small boat crossings
Hitler particles detected. How will the security command be paid for? NHS has to be funded by ‘tackling tax avoidance’ but funds for border security never need to be ‘raised’.
Providing more neighbourhood police officers to reduce antisocial behaviour and introduced new penalties for offenders
What is antisocial behaviour? Loitering? Also how are revenues for police officers raised? Every bit of welfare has to be ‘paid for’ by raising taxes or whatever but there is no mention of how police officer salaries would be paid for.
Recruiting 6,500 teachers, paid for through ending tax breaks for private schools.
Its fascinating how he can’t just say ‘Recruiting 6,500 teachers’, he has to ‘pay for it’ with something else. Why do private schools exist in the first place?
This is so bad, Starmer is really showing that he is not different from the Tories.

The name itself sounds anti-Semitic
36·1 day agoIt’s time for Government produced/subsidized anime.
What’s next, they shut down the internet in West Bank? I read on Al-Jazeera that West Bank only has 3G internet because Israel won’t allow them.

How can anyone say this shit without laughing? American healthcare and education is a meme.

Yes ik capital gains tax comes in when you sell the asset for fiat currency. However there is nothing preventing the Government from directly putting a tax bill on appreciating crypto before sale (mark to market).
Another example would be property tax. How would you pay for the property tax for the building you have your mining farm in assuming you don’t sell bitcoin.
Looks like they remove ‘real’ criticisms as well, funny because they removed TeddyKila’s comment for:
This is the second time you have responded to one of my posts, with the same line, and it’s not a response to the post.
5·2 days agoyea it was lame. L politics
did they glue it on?
16·4 days agoFunny because instead of breaking up monopolies, Modi is strengthening them.
Will they continue to be friends? Sad :(
Nuclear waste, submarine parts, letter scraps…
I don’t agree with either, tbh. I don’t support the latest tweet because I don’t believe America needs to “lead the world” in EVs or solar panels, it’s American exceptionalist nonsense.
Also, tariffs don’t necessarily mean American people pay for it. China doesn’t pay for tariffs, obviously. They can sell to other countries or for domestic use instead if Americans don’t wish to import their goods.
If the tariffs are imposed along with an increased state role in domestic production of EVs and solar panels, with proper planning like China did, the U.S. could achieve domestic production of the same quality in long run.
But in reality, there won’t be any proper planning. The U.S. government is incompetent. So, you’ll end up having inferior, overpriced cars.
