I think markets have no confidence in the government’s ability to take this kind of financial hit while it’s already under stresses elsewhere (like the energy situation)
And they don’t think it’s going to lead to the magic growth that Truss is expecting.
It is a mountain of shit built on a deck of cards.
The Mail’s not wrong, it is a ‘True Tory budget’ - no one else could come up with something so diabolical.
Bankrupting the country to own the SNP
One other thing that makes me sick about this is how little Starmie is going to have to do to be better than this government. You can practically see him vibrate with glee, the whole Labour right wing playbook of just being an inert lump while the Tories immolate themselves is coming true. Awful
Are there any other countries where newspaper proprietors just yell their demands in block capitals on the front pages of their newspapers?
I think what’s really been drilled home for me is how dull and technocratic they are. Two weeks in and the Government is basically demolishing this rule book we have on how public finances are supposed to work, something that any halfway useful Labour government would probably have to do anyway, but this iteration of Labour are just happy to paint themselves into a corner of responsible little drones.
But but the OBR forecasts waaaa
Simply because soon Labour will solely be Sir Beer, on his own, forensically chuckling to himself
Wes sat on his lap being read a story about how forensic they both are.
RSPB not mincing words
