Yes, it would be good if the Labour Party represented the combined forces of labour in this country. Unfortunately Keith Starmer seems more keen to get the big money donors, landlords and leeches on board and dismiss the concerns of the actual wealth creators.


Sad but true.

I think Starmer is a bit of a tosser.

The people who create the wealth remain the same. Workers. White collar, blue collar, north, south, paper shufflers and brick layers.

Those who extract the wealth - landlords, tax evaders, the corrupt and the boss class - are becoming more numerous and more brazen.



Somewhat simplistic economics. While it is true that the workers listed contribute a relatively small amount of GNP via the tax system, they do not produce for example a host of goods for export, so the bulk of wealth creation since the 1960s has been in the financial sector which involves very few people who might qualify as workers.


“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

They’re still workers. They work for a living. Only a relatively small percentage could afford to stop working tomorrow. Even in financial services.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The entire financial services industry is effectively built on the back of ordinary workers and ordinary people. Assets, pension funds, mortgages don’t just exist in the abstract on a spreadsheet - they are the result of, and cause of, everyday lived experiences by Joe Public.
