There is a shocking competition among Labour’s leadership going on right now to see who can squeeze the most money out of you.
Starmer, Burnham and Corbyn may all hate each other and may be plotting against each other, but are united in their desire to take your last quid and any wealth you have created and hand it to the SKIDS (Skint Idle Dim Socialists).
Regrettably, these are grim days and almost certainly grim years ahead for anybody with ambition to do better for themselves and their family. Simply take the public utterances of these Socialist thieves over the past 24 hours.
Starmer lets it be known to The Times that he is allegedly under pressure from senior Cabinet ministers to lift the two-child benefit cap, claiming it’s the most effective way of alleviating child poverty.
Of course, the most effective way of ‘’alleviating child poverty’’ is not to have loads of children. Anyway, the cost of this change will be £3billion a year. Under the scheme, families on universal credit (is there any real Labour voter not on UC these days?) will receive another £292.81 a month for every child rather than just the first two.
Let’s be clear. This country hasn’t got £3billion, it hasn’t got three pence. By any measure, we are broke, so that will be another reason why taxes will go through the roof on November 26.
This is all part of a dash to the left by Starmer to keep himself in No.10. It won’t work, but it will keep him in office (but not in power) until after the Welsh elections next May.

A couple of points about this policy:
1) If you’re skint and unemployed, why are you having kids and sending the bill to the rest of us? I don’t mind helping out my own family, but I’m buggered if I want to subsidise somebody else’s.
2) Would anybody like to guess, without breaking any blasphemy laws, which religious following might benefit most from this decision? Pakistani families have 2.7 children, while white families have half of this.
Andy Burnham, the King of the North, believes we are not taking enough money from London and the South East, the only area of the UK which creates more taxation than it spends. In his manifesto, he told the Daily Telegraph he made clear the first people to cop it would be anybody with a large house in London and the South East.
They want their council tax to rise dramatically. He gave no explanation for hating and wanting to penalise the large house owner, but since he’s competing with Starmer for the top job, I presume he thinks Labour MPs will embrace the idea and therefore be in favour of him entering Downing Street.
That was not enough to show off his lefty credentials. He wants to increase the top rate of tax to 50 per cent and, at the same time, reduce the rate of the lowest earners.
To top it all – and this would lead to a run on the pound- he wants to borrow another £40billion to spend on building council houses and flats.
All this is money-grabbing at your expense if being carried out with the spectre of grandpa Corbyn in the background. Both Starmer and Burnham know that when Corbyn and Sultana get their act together, they will be taking a sizeable chunk of votes from them, possibly around seven per cent and higher if the economy gets even worse.
At an election that would take Labour down to 14-15 per cent, around 40 seats. But in the meantime, it’s Corbyn and his shout of nationalising anything that moves (mind you, Burnham has taken up that mantra) and bringing in a wealth tax, which is setting the pace for the other two.
It’s a nightmare, I’m afraid. The only good news is that it guarantees a win for the right in 2029. I believe Farage will skate home, but even if he doesn’t win an overall majority, the Tories will do a simple deal with him.
There is hope, but at the moment, if you have anything about you, it feels like it’s darkest before the dawn.
