So let me get this right. You're guaranteed a wage? Well, I should hope you are!
No companies have signed up for this idea.
Forced employment, are you sure #Labour are the good guys?

If Tories were doing this, I'd at least be able to assume it was deliberately evil but I'm worried they may simply be useless. Digital ID too. :-/

Not that I believe in "fair" but tbh, just lately, the stuff coming out of this Labour government is pretty much straight out of the Conservative playbook and yet not a single Labour supporter or voter has had the balls to say "Hang on a minute!" If it had been a Tory government announcing this stuff, the Internet would be in meltdown now with raging socialists.

It's so unfair!

I'm torn between thinking
A. None if them have ever had a real life, so they're utterly clueless and
B. They are devious geniuses who have copied UKIP Re-formed and Trump by controlling what everybody gets angry about, to distract from something even worse.
I'm most worried it might be A.

I think it's 𝗔 but for slightly different reasons. Some of them still think the clock stopped in 1976, for starters, Angela Raynor believes so. Labour is still hung up on "Working Class", we're all working class, aren't we? I certainly work for a living. The so-called upper class was wiped out at Passchendaele and Mandalay.

I believe Starmer et al is playing the long game. They're thinking about the next election. All these ideas they're effectively nicking off ReformUK are a fop to the voter in the hope they get a second term. My concern is, once something is in place, it's going to be difficult to undo, although having said that, we did manage to leave Europe for about a week. 🤣
