  1. Labour are so fucking cooked. Can’t believe how badly they’ve shat the bed in just over a year. 🙁

    Remember, shit like this happening is a sign of the system working not failing. Its the countries where people aren’t resigning that we should worry about.

    This entire issue was caused by the complexity in SDLT rules. It’s a complex and terrible tax which is deeply damaging to the housing market. Entire thing should be scrapped and replaced with a land value tax which does not punish people for buying / selling houses

  4. This can potentially end very badly for Starmer. Labor has a deputy leader by election, unlike the Tories. Angela Rayner came from the left flank of the party but she grew loyal to Starmer over time.

    It would be better for him if the new deputy leader accepts cabinet post, likely deputy PM too. Trouble comes when they want to stay behind on the benches and rebel.
