Shame on the tawdry grubby businessmen who give credence to the absurb idea that this Labour Party would encourage enterprise and the private sector. It is all putrid hot air. Rachel & Keir are Mr & Mrs Potemkin. Just look at their few risible ‘policies’. She is most proud of encouraging windfall taxes – well thanks for screwing our North Sea gas industry in an emergency with 75% tax. 90% of the manifesto is blank or Green Guff. Then she lashes out at private schools and non doms. Anyone spot a theme here? Even as they woo our business elite Labour cannot mask its pathological class envy and aversion to wealth creation. The author is right to call out the fact that they will- like Blair – probably leave the City cash cow alone. The party of the Blob will of course let the ghastly vast Technocracy carry on ruling us. But he is naive to suggest that their social policies and wokery will be benign. Like the rest of our failed British Establishment Labour are hardcore ideologues who hold fundamentalist deranged views on race gender equality and climate. The pursuit of these ‘higher laws’ has seen and will see more suppression of natural justice, freedom of speech. Their cultural wars will be really nasty. Just look at the SNP to get a flavour of the nightmare ahead if these limp Tory-Socialist do not recover and fight for us against a party with not one business exec within its ranks, just unionists, students, lawyers, politicos, nurses and other representatives of the public sector.

An iron rule of politics perhaps? No matter where you want to go politically you first have to govern in the real world.

But if they don’t hammer corporates and entrepreneurs, including their “friends” in the City, how will they fund double digit pay rises for all Public Sector workers?

The money won’t come from VAT on independent schools, that will more likely actually cost money as buyers are priced out and move their children to the state sector, or tax on Non-Doms, who will certainly move their Dom elsewhere.

I don’t blame the City for cosying up to Starmer – he is almost certainly going to be the next Prime Minister – but they must know that he is going to hit them hard.
