Hopefully that’ll take the heat off of her for a while.

Were you blaming her for the publishing error ?

She’s guilty of misleading the electorate and markets

I wonder if he'll end up like David Kelly?

Quite so but she’s very guilty of this and it’s much worse that the leak of the OBR document

but she’s very guilty

Ooo 'very guilty'.

conflating 2 different things.

Almost like a witch hunt.

No problem with people being held to account, but for the right thing. Not Trumped up stuff.

She’s guilty of misleading the electorate and markets

The OBR have consistently got their forecasts widely wrong

Also other forecasters indicated a bigger black hole than she stated.

She’s guilty of misleading the electorate and markets

I don’t recall you making a big fuss about Truss not bothering to get any analysis done and spooling the markets.

I just shows you are a tribal Tory

Silly boy

Leaking the budget was a serious breach, it was inevitable a head was gonna roll

lol. That’s the first time you’ve mentioned it. In the past, you've readily accepted the OBR's figures. Don’t believe me? Do a search on OBR in your name. You should change your user name to Notch180, because yet again you’ve done one.
