Which is part of the building. I am not denying that building regs are poor and inadequate or that the regulators are either not in place or not strong enough.

Re: Labour Watch
We will see a change in the Labour leadership attitudes shortly as they realise the folly of what they have done so far. Already talk of Reeves acting more like a Tory Chancellor of late in a pro-business attempt to restore the shattered confidence in the economy. They Fcuked up. They can see that. We all can. They are trying to rectify it. Good.Bandy Legs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2025 6:57 pmStop talking DrivelDohnut wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2025 2:53 pmYup. The top 3 running this country.

I hope they do. I want to live in a country moving forward. Right now we are crashing and burning. That helps nobody. I don’t give a toss whether Labour or the Tories, even Reform UK are in charge. I just want a prosperous Britain.

Re: Labour Watch
I agree it’s not a Tory ideal to raise taxes. But over recent years, and I haven’t looked at data for a while, taxes under a Tory Government continued to rise. They did start to reduce taxes but was that just a pre-election ploy? Probably. Caused a rift in the party (another) with many wanting bigger tax cuts, others realising the money was just not there.Bandy Legs wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 6:47 amRaising money through taxes isn't acting like a Tory chancellor.

Taxes are a fact of life. What concerns me are rises that hit the most vulnerable the hardest. Current changes are already hitting the lower paid part times, easy jobs to cut and has already started to happen. It will get worse. It’s people who will pay for Reeves folly with their jobs! She needs to deal with it PDQ. I’m sure she will. Watch this space! The Labour hierarchy have had a short, sharp shock. Let’s hope the ditch the L plates soon.
