Give a UK government, any government, a +100 majority and they will do something stupidly arrogant with it. But where it took Thatcher and Blair years to do so with the Poll Tax and Iraq, Starmer has done it in months with the withdrawal of winter fuel payments.
The idea would always be controversial, but not even bothering to do an impact assessment is a gifted own goal born of arrogance.

As is the Treasury refusing to provide any details (some might say proof) of the supposed £22bn “black hole” in the finances. As if it doesn’t actually exist (to that degree) and they’ve picked a random number out of a hat to justify things they were going to do anyway.

I tried to figure out what this was about, and it seems that
– up to this point, these winter fuel payments were made to all pensioners regardless of how much money they have, giving state support to potentially quite wealthy people.
– Labour wanted to save money by restricting this to pensioners who actually need support (which makes sense). But
– they failed to appreciate that many very old people are unable to cope with the paperwork that submitting a claim for the winter fuel payments now entails.
– and now a lot of old people already living in poverty will be potentially unable to pay their bills in the winter resulting in
– political disaster for Labour.That pretty much it?

The best counter I’ve seen, which avoids means testing, is you could restrict access by tax bands. Those that really don’t need it don’t get it while those that do retain it.

I think they could have done it on a city council level. In the Netherlands you can apply at the city council for “bijzondere bijstand” (special welfare) for unexpected bills that you can’t pay because you’re poor, things such as medical bills etc. I think high utility bills for older people could be put in that category.

Ah, but it’s not as macho and that’s the other aspect here. Starmer and Reeves feel a need to demonstrate how well ‘ard they are.
Thing is, I’m not sure who they’re trying to impress – the Torygraph, the Daily Heil and the Scum are never going to be their friends.

The sheer gall of Labour trying to say it’s absolutely fine for private donors to be paying for/buying clothes for the Prime Minister and his wife because “they don’t get an allowance for clothing”. HE’S PAID A SALARY! They already don’t have to pay for most things in life, is clothing really too much to be covered by the £100 grand+ a year or whatever he makes?

The whole “assassination attempt” on Trump just reeks of a false flag operation.
He not only got his ass handed to him by Harris in the debate, he is being openly mocked for his own own comments. He is not doing well in the polls. Cue the attempt on a Sunday, where it will play into the week. This is Trump’s people trying to save the campaign.

Nah, I don’t think that’s likely. Too high a risk the guy would talk to stage all of this.
Anyway, it’s crazy there’s been a second unsucessful assassination attempt on Trump. Jesus fucking Christ. Every crazy is going Dead Zone on him, it seems.
The Swifties are after Trump now…
Personal theory: He feels especially hurt by Taylor’s coming out for Harris because he posted those “Swift supports Trump” AI-generated images in August not knowing they weren’t actually factual images. He actually believed Swift supports him, and now it hurts so much more. It feels like Taylor betrayed him.
Liz Cheney’s reaction to this was fun, you have to give it to her:
Ex-congresswoman and frequent Trump political opponent Liz Cheney summed up the typical reaction to Sunday’s post, invoking the title of a Swift song and writing on X: “Says the smallest man who ever lived.”

How bad is this, really?
It makes the Teamsters look like ungrateful assholes, IMO. Biden and Harris bailed out the Teamsters pension fund and have consistently supported unions, as opposed to Trump’s predilection to fire union members who threaten to strike.
The good news is, some local unions are throwing their support behind Harris in opposition to their national bosses.

That Vance Walz debate.
Years ago, Vance said about Trump ‘My god, what an idiot!’ and ‘could be America’s Hitler’ and is ‘unfit for nation’s highest office’. What the hell happened between then and now? Even his wife Usha Vance is a daughter of Indian immigrants and a Yale law school. grad. She was formerly a Democrat.
Then again the same can be said about Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham and other GOP who have quotes condemning him when he was running.
They all went through something, but the contrast… Dem and GOP are interchangeable.

Starmer era’s going well then.
Keir Starmer replaced his top aide and the Treasury acknowledged that key tax-raising plans were under review, as the Labour government tried to correct course from what even allies say has been a rocky three months in power.
…
Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves must now turn their attention to a budget on Oct. 30 that is already coming under strain, with the viability of more than half the extra revenue that Labour planned to raise to fix Britain’s public services now being questioned.
Plans to impose value-added tax on private school fees, announced in Labour’s election manifesto and due to come into force in January, may have to be delayed to prevent administrative problems, aides said, confirming a report in the Observer newspaper on Sunday.
Reeves is also reconsidering a planned overhaul of the UK’s tax regime for non-domiciled foreigners, looking at different policy options to maximize the tax take after suggestions it would spark a wealth exodus and end up losing money for the Treasury.
Private Equity
Further proposals to close a loophole on carried interest — private equity fund managers’ portion of profits on asset sales — are being looked at again after internal Treasury analysis showed they too could end up costing the exchequer money.The private equity firm General Atlantic has warned the government that dozens of dealmakers in London could leave if plans for higher taxes on carried interest go ahead. The hedge fund billionaire Alan Howard is considering a move to Geneva from London. Jeremy Coller, a pioneer of Britain’s private equity sector, has already left for Switzerland.

*sigh*
You know, doubts about Starmer aside, I suspect that Labour in Britain is in a similar situation as the current German-Labour-equivalent-led coalition government in Germany has been in the last few years: The conservative government that was in power in Germany for decades under Merkel has run the country so far into the ground that there is just too much to fix. It would need huge investments to do that, and the money just isn’t there.
So our bridges are crumbling, the public transport system is falling apart (as the recent football cup here demonstrated to the whole world) and everything in bureaucracy takes forever because there isn’t enough manpower there. And while this is all the former government’s fault, the current one is being blamed for not fixing it fast enough and the CDU will be back in power after the next election.

There is an element of that, but I think it lets Labour, and Starmer, off the hook too much for their own failings and hypocrisy.
Take the freebies thing. Starmer made great hay of Boris Johnson’s cash-grabs and freebies – to the point of even going and doing a photo op in John Lewis looking at wallpaper when it came out that Johnson got ridiculously expensive gold stuff installed in no 10 – and yet here he is, in office less than three months, and he’s getting designer clothes and glasses, sports and concert tickets etc for free. And their only response seems to be “well the Tories were even worse,” as is that makes their sleaze acceptable, somehow.
Then there’s Starmer’s inability to stick to promises. He made a raft of pledges when he ran for party leadership: ditched them all when he became leader in the excuse of “country first, party second”. He made a load of vows in the general election: most of them are getting dropped or watered down because of “the financial black hole” they suddenly discovered when they came into office, even though they’d been told about it repeatedly during the campaign and refused to acknowledge it.
When he became LOTO, loads of centrists were frothing about, because he was a lawyer, he was going to be “forensic”. And yet so much of this in the past three months has been entirely avoidable and he’s walked right into it and in most cases made it worse. The free box at Arsenal thing (provided by the Premier League, who are the subject of a regulator the government is supposed to be setting up), for example. He claims it’s because it’s too much of a security risk being in the stands now. Which I don’t really believe (Sunak did that stunt in the stands at a match last year or so, John Major used to go to the cricket no problem) and doesn’t say much about other Arsenal season ticket holders if true, frankly (and he seemed to be fine going to that Taylor Swift concert without a private box). But his line of “it’s a choice between taking the free executive box or not getting to go to a game” just made the situation even worse. He sounds entitled. Lots of people have to choose between work and getting to go to the football. It’s not a god-given right to get to go to live games and heaven forfend that being Prime Minister comes with some kind of sacrifice.

Oh there definitely is a factor of how these attacks are mostly coming from the right wing press, but while that makes them hypocrites too it doesn’t automatically make their concerns (however bad faith) irrelevant, as some Labour people keep trying to spin it.

My main takeaway from the first 100 days of the Labour government is that they’ve been almost breathtakingly naive in apparently not seeing so much of this coming (with entirely avoidable own goals like the gifts that were accepted), and also pretty cackhanded in terms of trying to explain any of their big ideas in a way that connects with people and shows how they’re trying to make their lives better.
Aside from a couple of early bold moves, they’ve overall given the impression of a party that didn’t expect to gain power and didn’t have firm plans for what they would do once they did, despite all the evidence that pointed to a huge Tory defeat.
Starmer definitely doesn’t have the indulgences from the press that his Tory predecessors did, and there’s definitely a sense of the rightwing media trying to seize on anything and everything they can to attack Labour. And I still think that this Labour government is a significant improvement over what we had before.
But it’s hard not to feel underwhelmed so far.

Didn’t your greens get rid of nuclear plants? Personally I would be against that, I think nuclear can play a positive role.
Nah, the Greens always were in favour of shutting them down, but it was Merkel and her conservative government who did it. After Fukushima. But I am generally in favour of getting out of nuclear; I can see the arguments for it – obviously – but you can’t replace one unsolvable problem with another. And you shouldn’t, when there’s actual solutions you can use.
Green politics here is mostly a thing for rich white libs with luxury beliefs, the consequences of which don’t really affect them. Not sure if it’s the same in Germany, so I can’t judge that.
That only works if you believe that climate change won’t primarily affect the least wealthy. Which it will.
It’s funny that the lower-to-middle-income classes have let themselves be convinced that it’s too expensive to fix our breaking the world, but that it’s at the same time unrealistic to touch the rich’s incomes and wealth to sustain our societies.I am wary of this “degrowth” agenda that at least part of the green movement seems to have. I think it could hurt a lot of poor people. I am not even sure if it really is left wing.
Yeah, I don’t see how degrowth can work in a capitalist system. But the thing we actually can, and desperately need to, do right now is to at least switch to more sustainable energies and materials. To just keep going while the climate is radically changing all around us is insane to an extent that I find that position very hard to relate to.

Case in point of Labour being stupid: Starmer says he’ll cut red tape to hype up this investment summit.
What he should be saying is Labour welcomes responsible investment so the country can start to be rebuilt, without risking another Grenfell, which is what followed the last load of regulation shredding.

I’m slowly working my way through Edible Economics. Its opening intro explains 1970s Britain’s food was terrible, jump forward 40 years and the food has improved immensely, but its economics has become that 1970s food scene: bland, no character, laissez-faire all the time.
Haven’t got to the other schools of economics that we never hear about, which would give governments different economic levers to use, in combination with imaginative and innovative policies.

I saw an interesting thread this morning (on Twitter, ironically) about the forces looking to use Trump as a puppet.
Suspiciously, Twitter is being shit about showing the whole thread, so here it is copied elsewhere.
https://mem.ai/p/rxEtqT5REEgAYVNzw5iy
1/ No Trump voter is saying that they are voting for Trump because they want J.D. Vance to be president. Or Elon Musk. Or Peter Thiel. MAGA voters believe they will be getting MAGA if they vote red.
They are absolutely not going to get that. They are going to get the *opposite*.
2/ Donald Trump is running to stay out of prison, which he’s entitled to do.
But he didn’t expect to win in 2016 and didn’t enjoy being president. He might not have run this time had he not felt embarrassed about 2020 and been worried about being imprisoned if he loses immunity.
3/ He’s hiding his medical records and looks and sounds unwell. He’s cancelling events due to—his own team says—“exhaustion.” He’s doing fewer events than ever. He’s rambling and mixing up dates and names more than ever before, to the point media is starting to write about it.
4/ He would be the oldest human to be sworn in as president. His wife and daughter have largely abandoned him. He just swayed and bopped silently to his own iPod playlist in front of a crowd for 40 minutes. There’s something wrong with him. Even if he wins, he won’t be president.
5/ All this was known to Musk, Thiel and Rupert Murdoch when they convened in California early this summer (feel free to Google it; it’s uncontested) to figure out who’d be Trump’s running mate. They and their ally Tucker Carlson knew the GOP VP candidate would be de facto POTUS.
6/ Canada just revealed it has evidence that Tucker Carlson is a Kremlin agent. So at least one of the men who chose the MAGA ticket is an agent of an enemy of America.
Obviously this is enough to avoid that ticket like the plague—forever—but that is just the tip of the iceberg.
7/ Peter Thiel is part of a creepy far-right techno-authoritarian cult headed by failed coder and utterly mid “intellectual” Curtis Yarvin.
Yarvin has proposed that he and a group of other tech bros decide which humans worldwide are “productive” and turn all the others into goo.
8/ Oh, you think I’m kidding? https://newrepublic.com/article/183971/jd-vance-weird-terrifying-techno-authoritarian-ideas
9/ You’ll notice that the Yarvinist listed in the headline of the preceding article *isn’t* Thiel. No—it’s Thiel’s disciple, Vance, who Thiel *and Yarvin* have been grooming (yes, that is the right word) for years to become president so that Yarvin and Thiel can rule through him.
10/ When they saw that Trump was running not to be president but to avoid jail; when they saw how elderly and infirm Trump had become, and incapable of being POTUS even if elected; when Tucker Carlson convinced Trump that picking anyone but the Yarvinist Vance would cause him…
11/ …to get assassinated by the Deep State (again, Google it, it’s uncontested that this is how Kremlin agent Tucker Carlson got Trump to pick Vance); they realized this was the moment to make their techno-authoritarian dream come true.

It can be very difficult to judge these things…the boomer I mentioned was sued for saying something about Israel which some thought was antisemitic. He had said something like “The Jews have treated Palestinians badly”. The people who took offense took this to mean all Jews treat Palestinians badly and therefore all Jews are bad people. However the court took it more losely, judging that he meant it specifically in the context of Israel and not all Jews, or even all Israelis. It’s like saying “The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbour, it doesn’t mean all Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour.
Sometimes things can be interpreted in multiple ways and unfortunately some people will take things to mean the worst thing they can make it out to be. I am sure I make such mistakes too sometimes.

Trump did a tweet on his truth social network about the Armenians that fled from Nagorno Karabakh, interesting. In 2023 100,000 Christians were ethnically cleansed in an Islamic country and nobody gave a shit.
Wow, you really hadn’t heard of this conflict until Trump told you about it? I mean, the Nagorno-Karabakh war was criminally underreported, I completely agree, but that’s still a bit surprising.
As for nobody giving a shit, yes, this should have been far bigger in the media. But it’s not like the human rights NGOs didn’t sound the alarms, and it’s not like there were no political reactions, and it’s not like those of us who do try to have some awareness of the world didn’t know about it and didn’t pay attention. Fuck, System of a Down released to songs about this conflicts in 2020.
The big problem with this conflict is that Turkey is backing Azerbaijan and Russia used to kind of protect Armenia, but then some years ago withdrew that protection to a large extent (due to setting their sights on different targets, presumably, or as a result of their then-new coalition with Turkey. Possibly also to punish Armenia for being EU-curious, because if you’re interested in that, Russia will destroy you, as they have amply demonstrated recently). So now Armenia has nobody to back them militarily, because that would mean a conflict with both Russia and Turkey, and the EU can’t afford the former and didn’t want to commit to the latter before the Ukraine invasion – and now Ukraine just is the bigger fish. So everybody does their best to just look away and act like nothing’s happening, not unlike they all did with the Krim invasion a few years ago.
So yes, the Armenians are fucked, once again. It’s a fucking disgrace and horrible, but it’s not like it is so much different from the way the Kurds are fucked in Rojava and just in general, which is also criminally underreported and somehow I doubt that Trump gives a shit about them.
Because he, and then you, didn’t put this in terms of ethnicity, or politics, or nationality, or history. For you, apparently, this is only relevant because it is a criminal war of one religion against another – the one you and Trump are a part of. Well, I hope this isn’t true for you, but I know it is for Trump. Well, no, I actually don’t. I don’t think he gives a shit either way. But he knows what his audience wants.
