St Michael's Anathema

As one would expect from the party of working people, Team Starmer has responded to the latest economic difficulties by asking corporations if they would very much mind not making quite so much profit for a while; and the chief executive of Marks and Spencer has responded in the expectable manner. Thanks to global headwinds and the Persian Crusade, the retailer is expected to profit by a beggarly eight-tenths of a billion rather than the anticipated nine-tenths, so any talk of cheaper necessities for the poor is completely preposterous. Like many other corporate complainers, Marks and Spencer are in the process of automating and AI-ensloppifying their business, viz. depriving working people of the living that would enable them to spend money, expand the economy, and profit corporations. It's difficult to sell merchandise when you're busy making sure that most people can't afford to buy it; so the obvious answer is, as always, lower taxes and less regulation. That's how we got to where we are today; and as one would expect from the party of working people, Team Starmer will most likely beat a hurried retreat from any whimper of a hint that any moderate or sensible non-antisemite might wish to try making the situation even slightly otherwise.
