Labour are certain to win the next election.
Let's say that the tories threaten the ONS with a sharp cut if they don't "play ball". Here are the scenarios.
ONS decide not to do it : leak to the press, Labour promise to reverse funding cut, funding cut doesn't come into force, Tories humiliated, Labour look favourably on ONS.
ONS decide to do it : Labour come into power, discover what happened (someone will talk), blood up the walls, ONS disolved etc.
So, I do not think that this is politically driven.
- gumballindie 3y ago> Labour are certain to win the next election. Oh i very much doubt that. No one wants to pay 80% in tax as thats what will be needed to fund their social programs.
- madaxe_again 3y agoLabour couldn’t win an election even if the opposition was Myra Hindley and Skeletor running on a platform of universal torture. They’d be photographed drinking shandy on a bus, or eating a sandwich, and that would be that.
- sgt101 3y agoI think you have forgotten the effect that Liz Truss had on the electorate.
- dash2 3y agoWould you like to take a bet at, say, 10-1 odds?
- sgt101 3y agoWell - I don't bet mate. I've seen too many people ruin themselves doing it. I really suggest that you think very carefully about making bets at those odds as well as it often (about 9 times out of 10?) ends badly. Unless you have asymmetric information access of course.
- drumhead 3y agoI dont know about that, they've grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory before. Starmer isnt Blair, and no one really trusts or likes Labour that much. It wont take much for peoples moods to turn against them.
