I don't know where it's been proven that neoliberalism inevitably leads to fascism, but I just don't understand a labour party acting this way. It's absurd and absolutely anti-socialist.

I can't believe it. How much have taxes been raised on the wealthy and big corporations?

Reeves did raise some taxes on them, it was a tax and spend bill.

It doesn't sound like they raised taxes enough on the wealthy, if the alternative is making the poor freeze.
