Rachel Reeves budget

- Start date
good grief what a stupid statement
are you seriously trying to claim that govt is same as a private business?
this is Motorbikings solution:
"lets cut services to save money, poor people that need benefits to feed themselves fuk em, just let em starve"
"lets slash NHS funding, rich people can go private and poor people can just die, fuk em"
How I vote here is none of your business AND will never impact what the Government does
Gordon Brown started the over spending well before the financial crash
I wasnt aware of any savings the last govt made, govt debt has risen steadily since 2006 when it was only 30% of gdp
yes levelling up is a good idea but sadly Boris Johnson had no intentions of doing it, it was a great slogan that could mean anything to anybody...............and brexit merely served to concentrate more wealth to the South East as brexit damaged the industrial regions of the UK hardest
so you voted Conservative and wont take responsibility
thought so
You voted Brexit and won’t accept responsibility
Could other people have done a better job than Reeves to date? I don't doubt it.
Could other political parties have done a better job over the past year or so? Possibly.
However all of this ties in with the point we've made on here recently. None of them are having an honest upfront conversation with the public about what really needs to happen (tax take wise etc) to balance the books, genuinely improve services etc. They're not having that conversation with us (any of them) because the truth would hurt. Combined with the fact they're always vying for votes.
Heck, if you were tasked with defending Starmer and Reeves you could assert they have, in part at least, been trying to tell us how it is. e.g. Starmer saying 'it'll get worse before it gets better.' However we don't really want to here that, do we?
The whole system is fecked. Party A in for x years getting some stuff right, some wrong. Party B gets in, getting some stuff right, some wrong. And round and round it goes, with them all blaming each other whilst real, consistent, solid improvements seem to remain a distant dream.

Example, Kemi Badenoch is giving a speech right now. She's started off by saying 'it's clear that Britain is not working.'
Maybe so, however was it utopia up to July 2024? Has it all just become a disaster in the past year and a bit?
This is what I mean. Waffle and rhetoric from the lot of them. Jam tomorrow, always.
Zia Yusuf was on Newsnight last night. Just the same as the rest of them. Not answering the question. Rhetoric. Waffle.

The main damage was done in the first 100 days of this Labour Government. They spent every opportunity to talk the economy down, which started the rot
Thought she came across loud and clear. You can’t magic away Liz T’s mess. One tax pound in every ten spent on bond interest, courtesy of her and Quasi’s mini budget. Shame she doesn’t focus more on the adverse impact of brexhit on the economy. Maggie would have been proud of her approach fiscal responsibility.
Kemi starts off her speech by saying Labour just reel off tons of promises they can't hope to achieve.
Kemi ends her speech reeling off tons of things the tories will do if back in power.
Anyone see what's wrong with this? Jeez, the longer you're on the planet, the more you realise just how much guff politicians spout.

This what happens when re form realises it has to have policies.
This is how it went with Yusuf ...
Are you going to raise taxes if you form the next government?
We stand with the British people, we stand for fairness.
Are you going to raise taxes?
We stand with those who set their alarm clocks at night to get up for work the next day.
What does that even mean? Are you going to raise taxes?
The British people know we will be fair with them.
Etc etc. It highlighted to me, although I already knew, Reform will be just the same if they gain power. Nothing new to see here.
