A tactical vote will remove the Tories...
It could even push them into third place.
Imagine the joy of that...!
Hold your nose if you have to, but think tactically to do to the Tories what they have done to you & the country for 14 years.

The rise of the right-wing in the UK has nothing to do with a groundswell of demand...
...& everything to do with right-wing billionaire media owners telling their readers/viewers they should support the right-wing parties that right-wing billionaires control.

Hold your nose if you have to, but vote tactically to destroy the Tories...
Do to them what they've done to us & the country for the last 14 years.
Post your vote asap, or if voting in person, remember your photo ID.
July 4th is payback time.

In 2010, Tories came to power.
Since then, prices, taxes, waiting lists, national debt, environment, standards, NHS, education, crime, the economy... everything is worse: Much, much worse.
It's only millionaires, Tory cronies, & racists that've gained in the last 14 years...

UK Government Borrowing...
Combined total: 0000-2010: £1tn.
Tories only: 2010-2024: £1.7tn.
In 14 years, the Tories have borrowed more than every government in history, combined, for 2000 years...
...& we'll be paying for it for decades to come.

The problem is there are more billionaires who don't want to share but who are more than willing to donate to get what they want.

Blair made a difference for the poor
.. them the wealthy made his government an offer & Labour lost their way...
Starmer needs to be sure he doesn't fall for the same trap.
But the signs aren't good.

Hope the Elphicke episode was to p*ss Sunak off.
As for reform... They're Tories without a moderate wing, so much more dangerous to the country & the population.

A bigger landslide is very likely... as is, unfortunately, a bigger disappointment.
If Labour, or indeed any elected politician of any party, are to have any credibility in future, they need to come clean about the corruption during 14 years of Tory rule & create laws to prevent it happening again.

The ECHR was created to protect ordinary people, like you & I, from greedy, power-hungry politicians that seek to abuse & exploit their own population.
It defends our rights, enshrines democracy & protects the lives of the poor, sick & elderly...
Tories want it abolished.

Sunak has spoken out against Tories betting on the ekection.
Sunak was a hedge fund banker which means he bet on the share price value of companies.
His bets in 2008 caused 3 banks to collapse, triggered a global banking crisis & screwed the economy... Then he became a Tory MP to finish that job.

Tying the hands of future Governments isn't legal.
But contract law is powerful & costly to challenge...& for a Government that inherits a dire financial position, that cost is likely to be a significant barrier to challenging legal contracts with prohibitive early termination compensation clauses.

Then once the Tories are removed from power, pressure must be brought to bear on Starmer to change his position.

Agree.
The more evidence of the corrupt actions by Tories that Labour can expose, the more people will realise just how utterly untrustworthy the Tories are.
& the louder will become the clamour for their prosecution.

The processes for normal tendering are probably fine.
If they were dodgy, others that lost our during tendering would take action over unfairness.
The problem is Tories add unnecessary penalty clauses which guarantee compensation to the crony if the contract is ended early by a future Government.

As for the Covid contracts... That's a different ball game & the rules are yet to be written.
Those involved in awarding them should face whatever the law can throw at them...
...but even if crimes are proven, there's no guarantee any money will ever be recovered.
But I hope they try!

In order to prove that the contracts break the rules, you need to go to court... & that's a very expensive (& risky) business.
& where no rules were broken, or there are only minor infringemens, a dreadful contract that's hugely expensive is too costly to terminate due to the clauses Tories add.

More likely, many gullible voters will think Fartage in a blue rosette isn't the same grifter Fartage they believed when he wore a purple rosette.
They'll forget that they were misled over Brexit, ignore the fact Brexit is a disaster & Fartage won't discuss it, & then swallow Fartage's new grift.

Tories don't/won't make that mistake... They simply write clauses into contracts which make if virtually impossible for the Government to terminate a contract without incurring a prohibitive penalty.
It's the same process by which #CharterCities will be created if the Tories ever return to power.

Tories may be appealing at managing the country, but they know how to stitch up a country.
Many of the contracts that are draining the economy have been created so they cannot be cancelled without incurring even greater losses.
It's how Tory cronies are guaranteed to be paid no matter what.

The numbers around taxation are so vast, & the losses through fraud & loopholes, so colossal that they've become impossible to comprehend...
Hidden beneath the complexity of mismanaged taxation is the devastating impact it has on public services, society & our Iives... & therin lies the problem.

The UK has a vast economic black hole that will affect us all.
Tories increased taxes, borrowed more than anyone in history & cut services.
But Brexit destroyed our trade income, & they squandered our revenue & gave contracts to their cronies.
All that's left is debt & despair.

National Insurance was increased by the Tories to fix Social Care...
...but they spent nothing on Social Care.
...then didn't fix Social Care
...& scrapped their NI increase to con the gullible by pretending they'd cut taxes.

Taxes... A handy guide to the truth from the Tory party.
Ironically, they've accidentally revealed the facts while pushing their propaganda & lies about Labour.
Like lettering in a stick of rock, incompetence runs through the Tory party.
