Once again, having announced a potentially progressive policy, the Labour Govt. is delaying it, due to the calculation that any political benefits will be outweighed by the financial costs....
Which tells you all you need to know about the prospect of Labour doing the 'right thing' - which brings to mind Oscar Wilde's famous observation:
They 'know the cost of everything & the value of nothing'....
Lest we forget: “With a multitude of eyewitness accounts, [Oliver] Eagleton [in “The Starmer Project: A Journey to the Right”] exposes #Starmer as an ambitious opportunist, neither a lapsed socialist nor liberal defender of human rights, but first and foremost a conservative representing the interests of British state”

Just what the UK and the world needed, another worthless, grasping fool as a leader.
