#NewLabour hated Devolution. They only did it because they were more afraid of an independent Scotland, hobbling the assemblies with a better and fairer electoral system in the hope of ensuring continued Labour control. Didn't work with Holyrood and I hope the Senedd kicks the bastards out as well.
So no surprise #NewerLabour will try to thwart the wishes of the devolved regions.

Just when you think a terrible #NewLabour idea is safely buried with a stake through its rotten heart, #NewerLabour digs it up and pulls the stake out. PFI grossly inflates the costs of construction by stacking up future debt for the NHS and sucks up public money into private pockets. They did the same with ID cards, now with added AI for further immiseration. What's next for a government so desperate to win the next election that they'll willingly sell their soul?

At least #NewLabour boasted about 'joined-up thinking'. #NewerLabour is so focused on economic growth at any cost that the connection with the real world is lost.

#NewLabour claimed to be the party of 'joined-up thinking'. #NewerLabour has never heard of it. Now it's whatever shiny bit of policy they think will catch the voters' eyes. They treat us like idiots. To be fair, we did vote them in with a huge majority, but only because there wasn't a viable alternative.

One of the things that made a Tory victory in 2010 bearable was that #NewLabour's ID card scheme went tits up in the water.
Now #NewerLabour wants to bring it back, probably with AI. I wish history didn't keep repeating itself.
