In the case of Sarah Jones, almost certainly plain, flat out ignorant. She’s probably never studied even the very basics of economics. I’ve just read a potted summary of her career on Wikipedia:
- read History at Durham; nothing wrong with that, but probably didn’t cover any economics;
- straight from Durham to working for Mo Mowlam, Labour MP;
- press officer for Labour during the 1997 election campaign;
- Head of Campaigns at Shelter (well, we know they don’t understand economics);
- Civil servant working for Tessa Jowell on the 2012 Olympics;
- Worked in the private sector (yes, really!) for Gatwick Airport, campaigning for a second runway (👏);
- Labour candidate in 2015 and Labour MP since 2017.
No doubt there are an awful lot like Ms Jones in the ranks of the 2024 parliamentary Labour Party, many of whom won’t even have the redeeming feature of a brief spell working in the real economy.
Expect lots more boasting about adding unnecessary cost to the economy.
Its because *unionisable jobs* make the labour party richer and increase the number of labour party dependent voters
