The Tories are shit; we all know it. Doesn’t change the fact that a policy like the above would make matters worse.

Did I say it was? I think the Tories are the worst government ever, but Corbynite policies are not the answer.

And it's all caused by the wage deflation they've inflicted on the public sector over the past 13 years

I'm waiting for some relatively radical (and non-spiteful) moves from Starmer and Reeves.
Starting to box themselves into a 'little change' agenda, this week announcing no increase in income tax for higher earners. I agree that no tax should be greater than 45% .... it really would only serve to discourage enterprise, graft, go the extra mile through years of difficult professional exams.
New housing should be the number one target, via shared ownership and housing associations. We need 3m new homes. Achieve that and wellbeing goes up in a big way. Just for starters.

Shhhhh, let's blame the poor for all our problems and forget about the Panama papers which literally showed billions of pounds being harboured by UK citizens away from our tax authorities.

Not at all. Go after them and the rest of the super rich. What’s stopping you ?
As per usual when a “new” party you’ve never heard of puts something out, it’s important to remember the key question;
“Does their party logo look like a Union Jack?”
If yes, they’re far right weirdos.
If no, they’re far left weirdos.

There are no related groups to the SWP - they rather famously avoid any joint initiatives with any other left groups. When I was chair of my union branch, the Swoopers were a thorough pain
Yeah instead lets continue sheepishly with virtually a two party system where there is little to choose between them.
Anyone outside the established orthodoxy is a ''wierdo''

You'll be voting for the "every should be paid less including me" party ?

Yes, they're a pain. But they've tried to form new parties before. For instance, at the time of the Iraq War, they were pushing to form a party with Greens and Muslims. It didn't happen and that's not surprising because they will impose their 'truth' on others, garnered from The State and Revolution or selected ideas from Trotsky.

Good point Randy ... what about all the people who vote for the 'keep the door wide open for cheap Eastern European Labour party' ensuring wages at the bottom are continually suppressed?

Very poor attempt at deflection Mr Nob.
For years, you have been a cheerleader for all those lovely institutions, politicians and business's who all insisted having a lovely, endless supply of cheap labour (which undoubtedly suppressed wages, mainly at the lower end) is the only way our economy can prosper ....
