This is a pretty broad spectrum of the cabinet! The article says that Shabana Mahmood, Ed Miliband and Lucy Powell also spoke up, with Lammy somewhat backing them.
Personally, I don’t know when they’re going to just bite the bullet and put taxes up, but they should really do it sooner rather than later.
It baffles me that Starmer would rather further push into poverty some of the poorest and most marginalised people in the UK, than slightly increase wealth tax on the uber wealthy or add a small fee for large stock trades or something.
Starmer is more aligned with Trump than he is with the sick and disabled. I think once you get this paradigm down, nothing about what he does is baffling.
Those vulnerable are easy victims.
Where as the wealthy can and will fight back.
Moneys control of media. Seems to be the biggest floor in modern democracy.
Windvane Lammy… if he’s leaning towards criticism now that suggests tensions are higher than I expected them to be.
