One month in, and our new Labour government has already made a complete hash of it. The UK has descended into chaos. Major riots are breaking across the country instigated by all political extremes. Our Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, has pretty much disappeared, apart from the one breakfast TV appearance where she was interviewed by her husband – former Labour MP Ed Balls. Meanwhile, our Prime Minister has done nothing but further inflame the tensions.
Putting that aside, our new government has decided it would rather see our pensioners freeze than upset their friends at the World Economic Forum, announcing that they are going to take away the Winter Fuel Allowance for pensioners. It is a move that will only save them around £1.5bn, despite still committing to spending over £11bn on overseas climate aid, as well as announcing a public sector pay rise costing around £10bn – with some public sector workers getting a pay rise of up to 22 per cent or 10 times the current rate of inflation.
Not only that, the woman behind the decision, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, billed the taxpayer over £1,269 for utilities on her second home, showing that she believes it is perfectly reasonable for her to charge the taxpayer for her heating bills despite earning at the very least £90k per year, whilst depriving pensioners on £11k a year of much-needed support.
Migrant crossings have now reached a record high, no doubt further encouraged by Labour’s decision to scrap the Rwanda plan and wave through over 90,000 asylum applications.
Major Infrastructure projects have been scrapped hampering our long-term growth. The Higher Education Freedom of Speech Bill, that would ensure freedom of speech is upheld at our universities, has been canned and tax rises are coming.
The first 30 days have been a disaster and Labour are entirely to blame. Growing up, my mother always said, ‘You’ll never realise how much you will miss something until it is gone.’ She is right.
I miss our Conservative government. This Labour government have done more damage in 30 days than the Conservatives did in 14 years.
I want the Tories back.
