I hope Angela Rayner eventually becomes their 1st woman leader and PM. " Labour have had a female leader - they’ve just not elected one yet! Harriet Harman and Margaret Beckett both led the party | |||

"Rupert is offering £500 for people to grass up their neighbour. Stasi-style Can't find that easily on the internet and you've not even said what people would be reporting? Can only assume you're making it up." It’s in Rupert Lowe’s Policy paper entitled: Mass Deportations: Legitimacy, Legality, and Logistics I can only assume you didn’t look hard as it’s incredibly easy to find. | |||

The Stasi relied on civilian informants.

"“The public are also an underutilised consideration…A process should be put in place with immigration enforcement, whereby individuals who give successful tip-offs will receive proceeds from the fines issued to businesses”" Crimestoppers is mostly funded by government, and currently pays out up to £1,000 for tip-offs that lead to a prosecution. Does that mean that current and previous governments are twice as stazi-like as Rupert Lowe? | |||

"We try to judge folk by what they do and who they surround themselves with. Also take past behaviour into account. Starmer is an establishment puppet and most folk in his party are out for themselves. Kemi is beginning to say the right things. However the party she leads is now so toxic from its past damaging behaviour (Boriswave) she's a non starter. It's sad because what she says seems to be the sensible centre option, but her party is just that poisonous now. Even Starmer is saying it's Labour or Reform. Farage has chosen to surround himself with people from that same toxic party. Reform are literally the same old fake Conservatives in aa skin suit. The Lib Dems are aa joke, don't even know who their leader is. Don't care either. Zack is the leader of a party that will carry on the green energy scam and pander even harder to the hard left and Islamists than Labour do. Rupert Lowe in contrast at least seems upfront and honest that what needs to be done is going to be hard and not easy. We cannot carry on as we are as a country to be honest." | |||

"I believe she wouldn’t because pickets are not the tool they once were for unions, when social media does a ga better job. It’s also small fry in the grand scheme of things ..." All of the things you say are true. However just because you and I agree on that doesn't mean that Angela Rayner will have the same opinion. There are plenty in the unions that believe that everything done by Thatcher must be undone, and also believe that flying pickets were effective in the past and would be just as effective today. Those people will have the ear of Rayner if she becomes PM. "... and finally, this government isn’t particularly left leaning. It’s a very centrist mob who haven’t thus far particularly aided, assisted or even hinted at being massive trade union supporters." But if Rayner become PM, it wouldn't be 'this government', it would be a different one with different ministers, and a very different direction. Rayner's made no secret of the fact that she hates rich people and fat cat directors, and I would expect her to waste no time in pushing policies that she thinks will redress the balance of power. If the unions tell her that changing the law on flying pickets will enhance their ability to protect workers from exploitative bosses, I'd expect Rayner to believe them and push for change. | |||

But if Rayner become PM, it wouldn't be 'this government', it would be a different one with different ministers, and a very different direction. Rayner's made no secret of the fact that she hates rich people and fat cat directors, and I would expect her to waste no time in pushing policies that she thinks will redress the balance of power. If the unions tell her that changing the law on flying pickets will enhance their ability to protect workers from exploitative bosses, I'd expect Rayner to believe them and push for change." But she does everything possible to protect her own wealth | |||

"And flying pickets are unlawful in the UK They won't be unlawful if someone changes the law. By that logic, we can make any ‘prediction’ we like. Your statement above was made in the context of someone suggesting that if Angela Rayner were made leader we'd see flying pockets back again. It's not far fetched to think that Rayner might change the law to benefit trade unions. It’s incredibly far fetched to suggest what would constitute an enormous change to picketing rules. Clearly you and I have very different opinions on what sort of person Angela Rayner is, and what her motivations are. My view is that Rayner is of the belief that businesses are cruelly exploiting the workers and that there needs to be a rebalancing. She's also clearly very close to the trade unions. What's your opinion of her, and why do you believe that she wouldn't change the law on flying pickets? I believe she wouldn’t because pickets are not the tool they once were for unions, when social media does a ga better job. It’s also small fry in the grand scheme of things, and finally, this government isn’t particularly left leaning. It’s a very centrist mob who haven’t thus far particularly aided, assisted or even hinted at being massive trade union supporters. " You obviously missed the huge pay increases that the nurses and Drs had haven’t you The equally large increases in pay for railway worker | |||

"A bloody good businessman. As everyone we have had recently is bloody awful. A good budinessman will how to balance the books, keep people sort of happy, as they dealt with his employees, supply chains, etc." You can’t run a country like you run a business. The problem we have is that parties only look to he next 4-5 years and getting reelected. Many of our services and issues such as climate, housing etc should be 10-20, maybe 30 year plans - and they require A LOT of expenditure, expenditure which won’t be recouped for a long time. | |||
