In 2023, The Daily Telegraph reported that most of the tax policies in Corbyn’s 2019 general election manifesto had been implemented by the winning Conservative government, including a higher corporation tax, a windfall tax on oil companies, a reduction in annual tax allowances on dividend income, raising income tax on high earners, and introducing a digital services tax on online retailers.
Which is why they are a dead party walking.
Yeah, there was virtually zero difference to Starmer taking over...the Conservative government’s policies failed because they were implementing Labour policies - not even just “Labour lite” in the mold of our RINOs - just full on the same policies entirely. Liz Truss didn’t last long because she was going to try to govern as an actual conservative (plus she was not competent to be in a leadership position) and out she went - her backbenchers wouldn’t have it. Thus, Labour’s takeover has not been seen as a change as time has proven. They gained power essentially campaigning on the failure of their *own* policies...quite ironic.
