Sir Keir Starmer launches a Labour manifesto with no surprises

Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled what he says is a long-term fully-costed plan to deliver change. After a brief heckling by a climate protester, he declared that Labour's number one priority is wealth creation.

But there were no new announcements in the manifesto.
He reiterated his commitment not to raise income tax, national insurance or VAT and pledged 1.5 million more homes, extra teachers and the scrapping of the Rwanda scheme.

As we found out yesterday in her first budget both Reeves and Starmer lied about not raising taxes and that they would not return to "tax and spend" as that's exactly what it has done!. But watching the video when the gormless Reeves helpfully holds up the manifesto showing the "fully costed no taxes" page for Starmer her throws under the bus saying "She wrote every

Labour don't have to offer anything. The Tories have imploded and we want them out more than we want Labour in.

The Labour Manifesto was a big disappointment 😢 nothing for the working people. Nothing for young generation, just a few nice words but no tax cuts, no bold ideas to help young people with education opportunities. Im not sure now.

[RichardMason-gjue]

I’m not willing to pay more tax not a chance why would I want to do that

[judithmatthews]

Lammy praising Thatcher AGAIN. He wasn’t living in mining areas in the industrial north. It was incredibly desperate and painful. Thatcher decimated hope and brought despair. So that’s a clear reason I won’t vote Labour.

Why on earth is anyone still in the Labour Party? Anyone with integrity left quite a while ago

[baltukur]

no mention on energy cost cost of living inflation mass immigration infrastructure austerity law and order

[markhayward]

Labour's manifesto launch should have been under the strap line "Change (but not very much)"

Labour is tinkering at the edges when what is needed is a truly radical reset of the way Britain is governed, its economy managed, its public services funded and supported. Socialism, in fact !

lies lies and more lies where is he going to get the money from if he is not going to tax

"Change" back to the neoliberal consensus, brilliant!

And Starmer trying to sound confident and witty is painful.
