Time for UK to become Limitarian. Tax the excessively rich at 100% above £10 million. No one needs more money than that.
- Bahahaha, if Starmer even had thoughts about doing such a thing, he wouldn't have gotten the job he did. He's there specifically to ensure such "socialist" ideas don't come to the forefront again (like they did with Corbyn), and if by magic he ever suddenly shifted even remotely to the left and they do, he'll just get replaced and the party purged again.
  
  Yes, it’s an idea for an alternate reality where Labour retained some belief in equality and wealth redistribution. Sadly we live in a hellish neoliberal mirror universe where the Labour leadership salivate whenever the Davos Boys ring austerity’s bell.
They have openly and repeatedly made it clear that they have no intention to do this, or anything like it.

I honestly am really not sure how much more open they can be about them working for corporations and not giving a shit about the people of this country before said people actually listen and stop pinning all of their hopes on this "lesser evil" "opposition" that has pretty much support the Tories every move.. 🤦‍♀️
