Seriously, how naïve and juvenile is that petition, talk about sore losers. Whether you think Labour has broken any of its pre-election manifesto pledges/commitments etc is all down to interpretation and more likely how you voted at the last GE. But regardless of that, has there ever been a government that hasn't met all it's pre-election manifesto pledges/commitments etc? There were loads of promises made by previous Tory Govs over the past 14 years that they failed to deliver on, where were all the right-whingers calling for a petition then? Let's start with taxes. Johnson pledged in 2019 not to increase income tax, VAT or National Insurance. By 2023... The current Tory-led parliament will oversee the biggest set of tax increases since the Second World War, the country’s leading economic think tank has said. Tax revenue will amount to 37% of national income by the next election, analysis from the Institute for Fiscal Studies suggests, up from about 33% four years ago. This is the largest increase since records began in the 1950s. The spike amounts to about £3,500 more per household, though it will not be spread equally. Then there's Brexit and all that promised but failed to deliver, even Johnson's 2019 'oven ready deal' wasn't oven ready and needed to be amended to get round the issues of a border in the Irish Sea (another broken promise). They couldn't even deliver on the promise of controlling our borders, with immigration shooting up post-Brexit. Not forgetting the addition of red tape rather the the reduction that was promised. There's a thesis to be written on this subject alone. Ditto 'levelling-up', remember that? How about 40 new hospitals that later turned out to be mainly refurbs of existing hospitals? 300,000 new homes per year were also promised in 2019, a target that pre-election stood at... The Construction Products Association currently estimates the government will miss its 300,000 homes a year target by 40%. And so on. Whisper it, but Govs also do things that weren't in their manifesto like Sunak scrapping HS2 and subsequently trying to 'salt the earth' so that it couldn't be revived by a future Gov. He had no mandate to be PM let alone do something major like that, again, where was the uproar from the right? You can apply the same double standards to all the confected noise around Labour and the so-called freebies. That, along with this petition is purely political and nothing to do with principals being applied fairly... -

The Post Offices and the Royal Mail should be renationalised. Massive mistake privatising industries where competition doesn't work properly and certainly does not offer any advantage to end users. -
