Ain’t necessary 

 

We can live a perfectly comfortable life and mitigate the worst effects of climate change, we can’t prevent it, it’s way too late.

 

What we can’t do is continue to live the mindless consumerism we think is our right.

I mean...yeah...but if we stopped using fossil fuels over night it would lead to complete collapse of the global economy, total chaos and god knows what...everyone would go outside and smile and smell the fresh air and be free and then start getting hungry and then start fighting and killing each other. Hence a orderly transition, as painless but as fast as possible.

Humans are consumerists, we are naturally greedy little savages, it's in the bible. Greed and fear is what it's all about. Greed is good. Making me hungry just typing that.

Most of what Labour are talking about is very Tory. No one is interested in sorting high level tax evasion. Don’t want to upset your bosses and those who make donations. 
 

People look up to the rich and down on the poor, but we’re all far more likely to end up on the streets than become a millionaire

Indeed 😞 . Although there is some stuff in there that’s less Tory … some of this is just appeasing the right wing media . Who have hammered them from the start anyway

our spending on health related benefits has gone right up since covid and is projected to keep rising so is a massive part of our welfare bill....so they need to bring that down...best way I guess is to get those people healthy again.

As for millionaire tax evasion, yes they do...but not easy. I think they should just put up income tax..so everyone pays more relatively..and match capital gains tax rates.
