According to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, living standards for all UK families are set to fall by 2030, with those on the lowest incomes declining twice as fast as middle and high earners. It is hard to square that with the constant stream of lies by our present UK Government. Every single day on social media and in articles in their tame newspapers they are telling us just how wonderful things are under this latest London metropolitan neoliberal government.

The facts say the exact opposite. Life is to get tougher for all the citizens in the British Union.Throughout the last years of the English Tory Government’s tenure there were thousands of people telling us we had to get rid of the Tories.The one I remember most is Carol Vorderman. Every day she urged the nation to get rid of Sunak and his party. Every day she listed details of failed policies of possible corruption and nepotism. She pointed out all the lies that were being told to the nation. Life would get so much better under a British Labour Party she and others told us. How often have you seen Carol on line these days showing us all the benefits of her wisdom and The British Labour Government?

Every week on Through A Scottish Prism we expose more and more lies of the Labour government. They promised to save the Grangemouth Refinery. It’s closing! They promised they would protect the Winter Fuel Allowance.It has been removed. The said they would compensate the WASPI women, then told us the nation couldn’t afford to do what was right!

What they did find money for was, of course, war and killing! Since July 2024 they have managed to find £12.9 billion to give to the regime in Kiev. They have found money to increase defence spending. Starmer indeed was very proud of himself when telling Parliament. Let me spell it out, that means spending GBP13.4 extra every year on defence.” That is extra spending, not the total amount.Spending plans set out in the 2024 Autumn Budget show that defence spending is expected to total £56.9 billion in 2024/25.

This latest UK Government, which is only nine months old is already hugely unpopular with the Union’s voters. If a UKGE was held tomorrow, the Labour Party would be trounced at the ballot box. The latest polls suggest that the largest party would likely be The Reform Party of Nigel Farage.

The likelihood is that we would see a Reform/Tory coalition. There are some, especially those on the extreme-right that would welcome that government. The tragedy is that the public would without a shadow of doubt very quickly be as disappointed with that combination just as they are just now with Labour Government and the Tory Government before that.

Changing out one London metropolitan neoliberal political party for just another London metropolitan neoliberal party is no change at all! You would think that everyone living in the UK of voting age would already have worked that out. As Einstein famously said, “Repeating the same behaviour and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.”

 

Since 1979 with the arrival of in the UK of Thatcher we have been headed in the one direction. More and more extreme capitalism.When these neoliberal capitalists talk about returning to the ‘good old days’ they mean Victorian times. Those times when the workers had no rights, where the working class and underclass knew their place and showed deference to their betters.Bringing back forelock tugging as a strict adherence is the elites wet dream!
