Of course you should engage with Labour. Not to engage is foolish. Sitting in our bell jar not talking to, challenging or learning from diverse ideas is for mugs. Love the Pod
im a former broker and trader and love your channel. dont let labour near you. they will talk platitudes to you and do absolutely nothing. sadly we are in a situation of consecutive govts causing a managed decline in society for the middle class and below. they just don't give a toss. we have to listen to people like you who are laying out the economic situation for the average person, and sadly individuals have to heed your lessons and navigate their economic situations by themselves.
