Growing Pains ...

"Andy Haldane warned that Labour’s growth plans were failing to support parts of the country where voters feel neglected and disenfranchised."

Which leads me to wonder - in which part of the country do voters not feel neglected and disenfranchised?

Everyone I know feels politically and economically neglected and disenfranchised. In fairness, it's not all this government's fault - much of it is legacy - but they're not fixing it.

boo hoo.

But it would be nice if they could at least say what they are going to do. All I've heard so far are soundbites and reversible promises. Al least we were reasonably clear what it was the Tories weren't doing.

Funny how political bias is only acceptable in one direction, isn't it...

We've less than four years left of Labour blaming everybody else and undermining us the British, our Country and economy. I'd be surprised if any voters don't feel neglected and disenfranchised by the end of it

One good thing we may not get another Labour government for a very long time after the next election

Worry not, once the Nazi party gets itself elected you'll never have to vote again.

So which is it to be? Guns or butter? Just askin' like. .

Government in the UK has for many years been provided by Tories or Labour; neither has done anything much to improve the lot of British people in the last 30+ years. Quite the reverse.

I reckon that failure of the main parties to identify and effectively address concerns leaves many voters complacent regarding the downside risk of voting for more extreme options. In short, many people seem to think that they'll have nothing to lose and possibly something to gain (although this is likely illusory).

On one simple measure, Government isn't doing anything to help reduce living costs - quite the reverse, allowing regulated firms to raise prices, freezing tax allowances.

The only people taking up arms seems to be the woke left, lots of recent examples for this. So are you saying the woke left will prove their Nazi credentials come a change of government? I'd prefer a government that actually cares about the Country, its institutions and culture. Everyone has their own interests at heart but Labour and Tory have been proven to not have the countries interest at heart.
