Crikey moses, its a start, a few ideas to throw out as he keeps getting attacked from the blue benches now his own side aren’t happy. You do realise anything he puts forward he can’t enact anyway. All sensible suggestions. I guess if people give up they presumably are happy with a continued tory government.
I presume what people really mean is lets have some proper left wing policies attacking big business, higher taxes for the wealthy (which only leads to higher prices for the poor anyway), driving some companies away for fear of higher taxation to other areas where taxation is lower along with labour costs, leading to increased job losses and lower tax recovery and increased burden on the state? Nationalise industries so that the state controls and runs everything and has greater power over its people (not a good look in many countries where this is the case, power corrupts after all).
We do need wealth distribution to be fairer, we do need the big companies like Amazon, Starbucks, Google, Facebook et al to pay more in tax and look after employees a tad better, but we need to create entrepreneurs, create and improve skilled jobs, improve infrastructure and level up parts of the country. We need the wealthy on board too, we do need state interventions, but it is about balance, most of the country will vote tory if Labour returns to a Corbyn style of leader. The average Brit believes they will end up paying more for a significant revolution through higher taxes and higher prices. Just a laymans view I have via my centrist binoculars. People do not like radical change, they do like realistic tweaks to everyday life that appear tangible, affordable and realistically achievable a vision that deals with their worries but wont leave them financially worse off via their pay packets or their shopping choices. Most want less personal taxation rather than the risk of paying more.
