Yep let’s go back to Tory austerity , that was such a success … It’s not uncontrolled it’s higher taxes , many may not like it ( trust me as a single male worker I’m paying ) but I can swallow it as I see the improvements in waiting times etc , it’s a **** sandwich , it’s not suppose to taste nice but we’ll have to swallow it

The country cannot tax its way to higher growth. You dont raise taxes to borrow to fund further welfare spending. You borrow to fund long term capital spending on infrastructure.
You dont bung the public sector £bns to fund pay rises, without improved productivity agreements.
The Trickle Up to the public sector has to stop, and, even better, reverse.
Once again this awful, economically illiterate, government increase costs to business to fund welfare. Jobs will continue to be shed, as employers decide to cut costs. It really is that simple. And where costs cant be controlled they’ll increase prices on their goods.
Vicious circle comes to mind.
I’ll leave you with this, from the Left-wing Resolution Foundation, when they commented yesterday (Tues 25 Nov):
The big increase in youth (minimum wage) rate risks exacerbating job struggles for young people’.
Its principal economist Nye Cominetti said: ‘These steep increases risk causing more harm than good if they put firms off hiring”.Wilts did austerity work … Did Truss tax cuts work … , no , will this work …we’ll find out

The whole budget leaked before Reeves had even arrived in the Commons. Can this government even get drunk in a brewery?
I hope she enjoyed her moment in the sun because I doubt she will in the same job this time next year.
At least it wasn’t quite so bad for racing. For now, anyway.
I can offer some free financial advice , Goldie is going for 100 winners in a calendar year , just had 1 win at 40s ( I took 66 earlier ) , if you follow him I reckon you’ll have some shackles for xmas

“did austerity work …”
It did exactly what it was intended to do: make the rich richer, while turning the general public against one another.
Divide and rule.
“The whole budget leaked before Reeves had even arrived in the Commons. Can this government even get drunk in a brewery?”
The leak came from the OBR, not the government.
I’m no fan of this government, but this particular gaffe was not down to them.
HDLG …. Perhaps you should read beyond a single years forecast …. you will not find a pretty picture.
A commentator on the budget reported to viewers that this was a budget for the backbenchers a survival strategy as told to her by a Labour MP.
Starmer, Reeves, Streeting etc are terrified of their own backbenchers.
What mugs all those business people must be feeling right now having fallen for Labour’s pre-election mantra ….pro business… pro growth they said.
May I refer my detractors to previous postings as to my attitude to Labour and why I take the stance I do.
good luck to allNo mention, obviously, from the rightwing “commentators” who brought us austerity, Brexit and Bozo that those three cost the country hundreds of billions in the first place.
“No mention, obviously, from the rightwing “commentators” who brought us austerity, Brexit and Bozo that those three cost the country hundreds of billions in the first place.”
What the hell has this got to do with yesterday’s budget?
A lot. If you can’t see how hundreds of billions of damage being done to the economy by the Tories affected the last two Labour budgets, you’re obviously economically illiterate.
Meanwhile, the deferential and the deluded continue to live in denial.
“The leak came from the OBR, not the government.
I’m no fan of this government, but this particular gaffe was not down to them.”
But it is revealing of the crumbling authority of this government. It has never happened before and wouldn’t have happened if the government was even half way competent.
And no mention of how the political Establishment took a wrecking ball to the economy and society in a failed and utterly futile attempt to stop the spread of a respiratory virus with a fatality rate of 0.2%.
If anyone thinks that didn’t have long term consequences, they are economically illiterate and in denial.
SCREEEECHHHH!!
Handbrake on again!!!!
The government has U-turned on its manifesto pledge to introduce day one protections from unfair dismissal.
Concerns had been raised about the potential change in the Employment Rights Bill and the impact it could have on small businesses.
But in an update, the government has said the protections will now be in place from six months.
Rudderless
Thieves Reeves announced £40bn of tax rises in her first Budget and a further £26bn today – lifting the overall tax burden to 38% of national income, an all-time high.
Labour’s manifesto promised just £8bn of tax rises.
Labour’s manifesto also promised to revive growth. Higher taxes and weaker growth mean a poorer outlook for living standards.
Disposable income per person, after inflation, is set to grow by just 0.3% a year for the rest of this parliament.
If the OBR forecasts prove right, there won’t be much of a “feel-good factor” by the next election.
TOAST…..This lot are TOAST.
Did u hear me? TOASTA budget for scivers, paid for by the strivers.
