Don't care. JP Morgan can fuck off.

Also I'm pretty sure that that's an empty threat, like millionaires saying they'll leave.

Implicit in this shitbag's threat is that they have a government they're happy with right now. Another reason Starmer has to go. You can't be on the side of working people and the banks at the same time.

You'll never believe who Starmer's been meeting with weekly

You can't have shit when dudes control shit with bags of money and threats. Dude should be dragged down the street.

Maybe the city shouldn't be so independent of the rest of London then

Yeah, the CoL literally lets companies vote and they dominate their council.

OK. So things would stay just as they are, no changes. Sounds like a fine compromise when getting a move to the left.

The day that governments find out that they could just take the money from the companies will be a very confusing day for capitalism.
