        I find it frustrating, too, but after we lost the by-election in Johnson’s seat over the obviously good but controversial policy of the Ulez, I can totally understand the timidity. We literally lost an election as ‘punishment’ for a policy that made the air cleaner and raised money! It’s completely ridiculous, but that’s the world we live in.

          why make too many proposals now. don’t give your enemies something to pin on you.

          If they get a good majority I firmly believe it will be for the better. they can implement things that will change the UK for the better.

          13 years of austerity have destroyed the country.

          once things are a bit better than we can put the Tories back in to sell off the progress to their mates again.

            UK politics in a nutshell! Maybe one day we’ll break the cycle.

            Agree that Labour will make things better. Got my hopes up for better employment law, planning reform (=more houses) and green investment. If we do get a bit of growth, we should see some health and education improvements, too.
