POVERTY
Poverty is on the agenda, like we haven’t seen it in many a year. On the agenda of the media, the politicians and the public as the Coronavirus crisis raises yet another lid on an unacceptable element of UK life.
Frontline. What do we normally envisage when we hear or see that word? Well it is almost certainly different than maybe four months ago. Rather than troops on the frontline of war or terrorism, we now immediately think of Carers.
A new Labour Party Leadership team is being put together and it would be fair to say it won’t please everyone.
There has never been a time like now for the need of a robust, clever, hard-working opposition.
It is so clearly obvious that the all-party consensus over the Covid-19 crisis has not worked. It hasn’t worked for the country as the Boris Johnson government has made a complete hash of handling this major pandemic. It certainly hasn’t worked for the Labour Party as appearing to follow along with little opposition against every piece of incompetent government policy, which was a really bad start for Keir Starmer’s new leadership.
