Voll Blau Posted 7 October 2022 Share Posted 7 October 2022 1 hour ago, Dunge said: As much as the Conservatives are getting loads wrong right now, I think Labour have to be careful with this phrase “anti-growth coalition”. It’s going to get used a lot. It’s tripe of course, but that’s not the point. It’s also snappy and no word is wasted in achieving what they want it to: Anti: These people are negative. Growth: Our key word, demonstrating our positive focus on the economy. Coalition: It’s us against them. They’re ganging up against our economic drive. If you don’t want the dreaded “them” then it’ll have to be “us”. Mockery is one thing and I’m sure that will come in spades, but Labour will need to be careful not to play into it too much because it sounds like how the Conservatives will want to present themselves. It's an absolute mouthful - the antithesis of "get Brexit done" or even "strong and stable" in terms of snappy, three-word phrases to capture the public's imagination. You're right that Labour always need to be vigilant but it really isn't a phrase to get the pub bores parrotting it for the next two years. Plus, they're trying to get it going just after the government's plan for growth has been widely panned by the public. Lots of folks will be asking whether she means them, not just the opposition parties, when she spouts it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobHawk Posted 8 October 2022 Share Posted 8 October 2022 Just reading that the government are thinking of capping profits on green and nuclear energy. Energy giants hate the idea and would prefer a windfall tax. Surely the government are looking at this backwards. Surely we want green energy creation to increase and for energy companies to invest in the infrastructure. Cap the profits of fossil fuel created energy so that incentivises them to go green. Or am I being naive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I being naive? Depends. Are you making oodles of profit now and want to keep making more for the moment without green energy advances interfering because you have zero regard for the future? If you do (as perhaps some of the oil and gas players and the Tory politicians in hock to them do), then this move makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny Posted 10 October 2022 Share Posted 10 October 2022 18 hours ago, Daggers said: If the government are serious about reducing drug crime, I would hit the middle class users that have normalised the taking of them. As soon as a few MPs, solicitors, investment bankers etc start getting criminal sentences things may start to change. Walking round the streets giving £60 fines for possession to working class people is a pointless exercise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 10 October 2022 Share Posted 10 October 2022 I don't take drugs and I do believe in legalisation, control and taxation. However, it does my head in when I'm at a party and my educated friends are sneering about "chavs" while doing the exact same things. "Well, my dealer wears a suit and reads books. He's different to those criminal ones." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
