Not ONE of the trade-offs Starmer was asked to explain on this BBC radio 4 interview pertains to sacrifices the rich may have to make. The long term sick? Sure. Refugees? Absolutely. Pensioners? We know all about that. The rich? Not a whisper. It’s like they don’t exist.

hey but they already made the sacrifices* to get where they are today *decided not to get a third pony

If that happens we won’t hear until the budget.

Glad to see you using Bluesky now Zoe 👏
