Good to see Labour sticking to its working class roots

People on £60,000 aren’t rich, says Labour's Rachel Reeves - Telegraph

Why do the poor (anyone under average wage of £30k a year) vote Labour?

[fullyautomatix]

I can see through Labour's plans already. They are targetting the middle class Tory voters now. I am guessing some kind of carrots in form of tax credits etc will be dangled to "not rich" chaps to get them to vote Labour.

Typical bloody idiots.Borrow billions and pay off the voters and be in power for eternity. What can go wrong? Twunts.

The trouble is they are right. £60k is not a lot of money if you have a family.

The problem with taxing the very rich - is that there are not many of them.

They've already spent the "mansion tax" and the "bankers bonus tax" a dozen times over because it doesn't raise that much money compared to taxing the masses

[minestrone]

Labour are starting to tentatively throw out thoughts and little bits of policy to see how it comes back in opinion, they will keep doing that for the next 6 months until they work out what the most populist stuff is and that will form their manifesto. It's back to focus group politics for them.

Are Labour planning to save money anywhere?

As in, reduce government spending on something?

That kind of talk might just get you arrested.

When the largest block of voters are baby boomers who couldn't give a crap (or don't know) that their children and grand children are paying for their selfishness...makes sense doesn't it.
