The man who bankrolls Just stop oil gave £1.5 million to the Labour party a few weeks ago.
Labour announced this week that if they win the election, they will not grant any licences for oil in the North sea.
Is there a connection ? Of course not.
You assume that they will actually get into power. They won't, and they know it so can merrily promise the moon.
These Tories are truly awful, but the alternative?
Hopefully people are telling pollsters what they think they should say, but in the privacy of the voting booth will come to their senses.
....and vote for what?
Another 13 years of socialism and wokery from the Tories.
Yep I know, but as said above the alternative is infinitely worse.
Labour tell us they have a plan, but they don't want to tell us what it is.
Although we do know it involves about £200bn worth of extra public spending, apparently all funded by a 'proper' windfall tax on oil & gas producers, ending the 'Non Dom' status of wealthy foreigners and ending the charitable status of private schools.
The IFS reckon that if it was all funded by income tax, then they would have to raise it by 3p. Given that it is very unlikely that they will raise enough tax from windfall tax, ending the non doms, and forcing private schools to charge VAT, they will have to raise it from somewhere.
How about ending the capital gains exemption from selling your main residence?
