“How is Starmer's Labour so far to the economic right of Germany's incoming right-wing Chancellor?”

by Another Angry Voice on Substack

@UKLabour

“It’s quite extraordinary that the Labour Party in the UK is operating far to the economic right of Germany’s incoming right-wing government, led by probably the most right-wing figure ever to lead the CDU”

Remember this great piece by Nesrine Malik in the Grauniad?

All will be well under a Labour government “if your ambition [..] does not involve those who are striking and struggling to eat and keep warm, those who can’t survive, let alone thrive. If you believe that the key to it all is the groundhog day of being ‘open to business’”

#Starmer and #Reeves have to be agile and move at pace with the paradigm shift that has occurred. They cannot have their cake and eat it with Trump and Europe. I hope all the signs from yesterday and so far today are that they have made that leap. If I don’t think #Trump will be prepared to be the guarantor/backstop for a UK/France/Ukraine peace plan…he’s too proud to backdown so soon and it’s not what his boss Putin wants. This can only mean defence spending must go up.

This is superb writing from a German commentator. It also reflects #UKPolitics and our refusal to afopt radical health care regorms. I suppose if you go 'private' the folk on the street count for nowt. #HMG #Starmer #Reeves Bar Stewards the f'ing lot of them. #SOSNHS

medic.cafeHoppmester Fønvind Snublebluss (@mikka@medic.cafe)Wie ich ja schon mehrfach und mit Inbrunst geschrieben habe: Ich bin ein One Trick Pony. I kenne mich mit wenigen Dingen so gut aus, dass ich eine eigene Meinung haben kann. Beim Klimawandel, Kriminalstatistiken, Kindergartenplätzen, oder was auch sonst noch, vertraue ich den Expert:innen, die mit Daten und Quellen argumentieren. Danach kann ich mir immer noch eine subjektive Halbmeinung bilden, behalte die aber für mich, weil subjektive Halbmeinungen nichts außerhalb meines Hirns zu suchen haben. Was ich kann, ist Medizin. Was ich verstehe, echt gut, ist unser Gesundheitswesen. Und in dem Zusammenhang war die Wahl für mich ein Desaster. Die Parteien, die unser Gesundheitswesen vorangebracht hätten, waren die Grünen, die Linke (mit starken Einschränkungen, weil ideologisch, nicht wissenschaftlich, gedacht wird), und Volt. Die FDP, die eigentlich nur die Politik des Großen Vernichters Karl Lauterbach weitermachen wollte, ist zum Glück hinausgeflogen. Aber die SPD, welche zwar vom Programm her ganz anders gedacht hat als Karl, ihn dann aber (weil Twitter-Tugensignal besser als echte Arbeit in der Medizin) halt doch hat machen lassen, was er wollte, wird wahrscheinlich in die Große Koalition mit dem Kerl als Gesundheitsminister eintreten. Das heißt, keine Partei, der das Gesundheitswesen, die Pflege, die Ärzt:innen, die Abdeckung im ländlichen Raum, die Bereitstellung von Therapieplätzen, eine Reform des Versicherungswesens, die Schaffung von MBZ (medizinische Bereichszentren), die Stellung von Prävention über Therapie, etc. wichtig ist, ist in der Regierung. Stattdessen haben wir die katastrophale CDU Gesundheitspolitik und Karl ("ich war ja auch mal CDU") Lauterbach, der keinen einzigen Tag seines Lebens in der Medizin gearbeitet hat, Ärzte, Patient:innen, und Praxen hasst, Kliniken ohnehin außer sie sind akademische Institute, und dem es nicht um Patient:innen geht, sondern um persönliches Prestige. Ich weiß, dass es viele andere Probleme mit dem Wahlergebnis gibt. Aber für mich, weil ich ein One Trick Pony bin, gibt es heute genau eine Angst: für unsere Patient:innen, unser Personal, und unsere Gesundheitsversorgung, die in den nächsten vier Jahren sicher einen Schaden nehmen wird, dessen Behebung niemand hier, der alt genug ist um Lesen zu können, noch erleben wird.

Car loans was a financial services volcano waiting to go off for decade.
Nobody in the car loan sector cared. Plenty got nice & wealthy thank you, from car dealers to the unscrupulous finance houses happy to cosy up to them. 'By the time the legs fall off, the architects will be long gone'.
Respect to Mr Johnson, (of Johnson v Firstrand Bank case), who had the courage to say "hang on a minute..?"
If there is a final tragedy, it was Chancellor #Reeves trying to intervene. On the WRONG side! 7/7
