Exactly.... esp in Parliament
....and from a distance it does not do the country any good |

Why were Starmer and Reeves not made to attend the HOC today to answer questions ?
|
|
By:
You might well ask nanny. Write to the Speaker.
|
|
By:
Starmer desperately looking for an out to keep him and Reeves away from the House , I wonder what could happen ?
|

By:
Write to the speaker, lol.

Chris Mason article on the Beeb site makes it look like a pretty minor issue. A bit like a trainer hiding ability from the handicapper?
|

By:
They are not supposed to give the budget
until the budget. Speculation from gutter press forced reeves to speak to reassure markets. Pretty sure a racehorse trainer would say he's worked ok but not tell everybody he's a stone well in on handicap. |

I suppose so but in this modern political world where integrity is a fail and lies are accepted currency it all seems like a storm in a tea cup.
|
|
By:
Labour will be quite happy with this storm in a teacup as it will take the limelight of her terrible budget.
|
|
By:
It would be worse, far worse, if things were worse than expected.
But that could happen next year. |

By:
The gutter press made a meal of obr leaking the budget and that
being bad for reeves, but she has no part in their error releasing details of her budget. There is a general desperation to make things overly dramatic in the gutter press to keep the idiots buying the papers and taking the click bait. Council elections may cause a problem for starmer, as likely they are a disaster, and I guess all this chaff around the budget doesn't help him spin his message. He needs to get a step ahead, and not remain a step behind the game. Or else he's toast. |

Frankly, I am stunned at just how poor he is and has been. He exudes no authority whatsoever as far as I am concerned.
|
|
By:
Talking of being overly dramatic. That would describe Reeves pretending
she needed more than was true from taxpayers, so she could actually give it away on benefits. |
|

there is a lot going on behind the scenes
Starmer is probrably at the bottom of it |

Ants at a picnic. Govt has a mandate to lead the country to less inequality up to 2029.
Suck it up |
|
By:
"to less inequality" ....utter rubbish
When is starmer going to invite poor arsenal fans into his box at the Emirates |
|
By:
Biggest inequality is between those working for less than £25k a year and the unemployed (or unable to work) who get more than that and pay no tax or NI and don't have the not inconsiderable cost of getting to and from work.

Reeves did not mislead on challenges facing
UK ahead of Budget, says OBR official A senior official at the UK's economic forecaster has said he does not believe the chancellor was being misleading when she said the state of the public finances were "very challenging" in the run-up to the Budget. Prof David Miles from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) told MPs Rachel Reeves's comments ahead of announcing her tax and spending plans were "not inconsistent" with the situation she faced. Has David spotted a vacancy.... |

The media are framing the fact that the economy has improved under labour as "outrageous".
P.S. wages up under labour FTSE up circa 19% from 8,200 to 9,700 under labour ooooo it's outrageous, Reeves & Starmer should resign  |
|
By:
Kemi spending her every waking moment trash-talking the economy (that her party trashed).
Reeves spending her every waking moment saying it's not as bad as it seems and it will improve given time. It improves slightly - and Kemi wants Reeves to resign for lying. It's like a parallel universe. |

Where's the "growth , growth and more growth " they wittered on about endlessly ?
That doesn't get a mention anymore. |

According to the analysis by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), a working family with three children in the UK would need a gross salary of roughly £71,000 to have the same take-home income as a similar family on combined out-of-work benefits, after the recent changes to the two-child benefit cap.
Come on - Who really thinks that the is right way to structure benefits ? How is that going to encourage people to work ? Completely bonkers. |

Shown in such stark terms you have to be right.

The British electorate has f***** itself again
They have voted in a load of Liars |

Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) Is just making stuff up.
According to google:

Family with 3 children on benefits is equivalent to £71,000 per year is fantasy.

think about it this way JTG
Labour have been in power 18 months how much have they put benefits up for a family with 3 children? 40k? 30k? I doubt it's even as much as £10k, probably less than £5k how much do CSJ say this family with 3 children were getting under the tories 18 months ago? |

SAy the word LIARS and look who turns up ....

Aside from benefits, which are only going one way and now claimed by a staggering number of people. I dont know the exact breakdown but 9 million of working age are not doing any. Since 2019 1.2 million more have claimed disability benefits. Thats quite a number
its the bollox about growth investment and innovation thats so way out The previous bodgeit was supposed to do all the necessary groundwork for growth. It didnt. This one has made things worse again Everyone I know says she has made their life more difficult. One of them ,a small but succesSful publican has now abandoned plans to buy 2 pubs that will probably end up as flats. Constant rises in cost have made it just about viable, he says, from being a good idea. but viable isnt what he wants. His investors wont put the money up Repeat countrywide and its a calamity But no tax on bingo. bingo! its the same random number game as all the others. Just shows how illiterate and wrong-headed these idots are You cant tax your way to growth Tax thresholds are just delaying the inevitable but its a sneaky way of silently taking money via inflation |
