Absolutely amazing if this ever happened. Sadly I think this would need a large majority in the commons to get through. Too many “vested interests” will vote against so Labour need to force it through on their own and they can only do that with a majority. Great for headlines though.

As a side note I’m pissing myself at the unintentional sinister paragraph towards the bottom.

The FSB also welcomed Ms Reeves’ proposals

Of course it did 😜

    It doesn’t need a super majority. That’s an American thing.

    In the UK, parliament are sovereign, and that means it can make up the rules as it goes along. You can do anything you like with a simple majority, including removing old rules that say you need a super majority.

    Also this is a labour policy for after the next election. So hopefully, they will have the majority by then
