Tom, do you think it's sustainable for Labour to apparently have nothing new to announce on policy during the campaign? I get that they want to project consistency and stability and can point back to their missions and first steps - but it seems like it will be really hard for them to make headlines and get coverage if there no rabbits or hats to pull them from. I think they'll find it a long six weeks of getting pulled off course by things like Abbott etc. and getting drawn into responding to Tory announcements.
One wonders if a further problem for tory assertions, claims and pronouncements is that after 14 years of lying and bollocks no one in their right mind will believe a syllable of it
Can I once again jump on my favourite hobby horse of how insane a policy the triple lock is
Simple maths says that if this stays forever then eventually pensions will be higher than wages, it’s incredible to me that 30 years ago the Australian Labor Govt looked into the future terrified of what the retirement of the baby boomers would do to the pension budget and created Superannuation and in the UK you instead did nothing then when it came time for yen to retire you gold plated pensions
