He shouldn't be cutting services. He should be teaching the rich more. You don't fix underfunded services by underfunding then even more.
- Teach them what?
  
  Whoops. Taxing
This dude sucks. Didn't Labour have an actual socialist leader before this?
- I am not convinced he has any choice after Tories ruining the country for the last 14 years.
  
  Damn those torries did a hell of a job ruining things, compounded with brexit. It's tough trying to fix 1.5 decades of neglect
  
  Yeah, let's fix what desolation 14 years of austerity politics have wrought with a few more years of austerity! That'll fucking work! 🤦
- There are lots of things that should not be funded by tax money but are. What im not sure about is whether he will cut those or if he will cut healthcare, public transport or other good stuff.
  
  Yeah if you think he's gonna cut subsidies to BP you're dreaming.
At this point, what's left to cut?!
