Starmer's vision quest

And I don't think that it automatically would as many people would still be struggling to pay the everyday bills.

Now which part of that don't YOU understand you benefit scrounging, council estate, bin dipping spastic?

One i dont have benefits, 2 i have multiple properties and dont live on a council estate, 3 i dont dip into bins and 4…..it takes a spastic, to know a spastic

I don't agree that the money will do much for the high streets as it'll go straight on paying bills and the increased costs of everything....

So we're almost in agreement...15 quid a hour will hardly touch the sides ! That's why we need some progressive policies aswell.Not more of the same.
You do remember what those are ? Offering voters some sort of hope,with solutions for public services, childcare, debt, transport and housing.Nationalise the essentials...it's bollox how much profit the ones at the top are making whilst the bottom pay ! It's a myth there's no money.Brexit and Covid has shown how much cash can be thrown around.

It's just an observation.

Like that means feck all...there's nothing he hasn't gone back on.

Don't agree...I think more money for low paid/working people means more money spent in our high streets.

What about the low income non-working people (unemployed/pensioners/disabled for example) don't they spend money (if they have it) in the High Street, plus of course, the lower paid people who do not work in jobs where they can strike, or, striking does not have a major inconvenience to the public, hence, they have little or no bargaining power.

I thought I said that initially....but even if your not in a union or able to strike.It still effects them.Im not too sure what you mean having no bargaining power.

Are you for real? You don’t know what bargaining power is?, Union power exists of little else

What the feck are you waffling on about! I said I dont know what your point is...read the post again.I said that the unions power effects even the ones not in a union !

OK

Have read it again. You may not understand what I am saying, I certainly don't understand what you are saying.

For example, are you saying that (say) RMT are going to call a strike to get more benefit for the unemployed (say)?

Strikes are only effective if they inconvenience the public and/or cost the employer more than it would cost to make a settlement (allowing for the fact that they may be able to increase prices, which will affect those not receiving an increase, as well as those receiving an increase)
