My Mum wants to leave Labour

First of all, my wife and I dropped our daughter off in Bristol. We had intended to do this earlier in the day but woke up late.  Driving there is my car is the environmentally right option as my car is electric while my wife has a hybrid car. It means that we do get a chance to rest, but this also means the journey takes longer when it charges.  It has enough range to get to the services at Reading when driving there, or the services at South Mimms on the way back, but there are no services in between.  The dog was not happy when my daughter was dropped off and sulked, ignoring her as she said goodbye. My son did not come as he has a party.


On the way back, while charging the car, my mother rang, asking if she should leave Labour. She said that Labour are not doing anything for the environment. If that was the case, then Reform UK and the Tories would not need to complain, but they do oppose Labour on the environment. My EV was bought at a discount thanks to the stance of Labour on electric cars

While I can see why she is attracted to The Green Party, but the economic policies of The Green Party are from Planet Truss.  We saw the damage that fantasy economics did to the country under her. Polanski has not learned from history when it comes to his policies, not just Zimbabwe, but Germany in 1923.  

I don’t agree with Labour on everything. I can see why they have had to take decisions which offend many. I think Labour are wrong on immigration, I think that they were wrong to offer Junior Doctors the highest pay rise in the public sector when pay restoration applies to so many, such as nurses.

But I do think that Labour are the best to run our nation. I hope my mother can see that.
