“Honesty and integrity,” he said, as part of Labour’s pitch to the electorate in Labour’s GE 2024 campaign.
Leading up to Wednesday’s budget Starmer was aware there was no “black hole” in UK finances but approved the chancellor’s “lies” as she made a case for tax rises in the budget.
This was despite being made aware of official forecasts showing her fiscal rules would be met, and that the OBR’s downgrade to productivity had not led to a shortfall in public finances.Pair of f’kin chancers; actually, a whole bunch of ’em.
I spend Sunday mornings catching up with James O’Brien from the previous week, as I’m at work from Monday to Friday, and this is brilliant:
Does the type of angry voter O’Brien describes remind you of anyone here? 🤔
HDLG …. Liz Truss didn’t lie to the markets like Reeves did, they just didn’t like what they heard.
There’s a HUGE difference.
good luck to all“The FCA could get involved now.”
😂😂😂
Do you even know what the FCA does? The FCA is accountable to the Treasury, not vice versa.
“Do you even know what the FCA does?”
You taking the proverbial?
I spent 36 years of employment in the financial services industry.If it’s proved she lied and skewed the markets then, potentially, she’s liable to prosecution.
If you spent 36 years in the financial industry, you would know that the FCA cannot intervene here. I currently work in the sector (I work in compliance for a major insurance company) so know what I am talking about.
“lol your hilarious”
I honestly wonder if some of the contributors to this thread are on a wind-up.
You’d think that nobody can be that stupid, yet Reform lead the polls.
Well done, neoliberalism.
One of the greatest ironies of the Reform Party is that they hate immigrants and Islam, but live overseas and, especially, in the tax-free haven of Dubai.
Hypocrites? Nah.
Yet people are still stupid enough to vote for these w***ers.
I asked the question a few days ago, in the “Nige” thread: how would a Reform government improve your life. Despite the fact that the rightwing posters on this forum have been active since I asked the question, I have yet to receive an answer.
Says it all : Reform have no answers, and their supporters no idea.
Now her own Government ministers and colleagues turn on her.
They’ve accused her and Starmer of misleading the cabinet by claiming there was a hole in the public finances to justify tax rises.
Toast i tell ya, she’s toast!
If Reeves has misled the House, it is a resignation offence. No use trying to squirm out of it.
A corrective to the suggestion further up the thread that it is only the Conservatives who tell lies.
They are politicians. Telling lies is their stock in trade. If a politician of any persuasion told me today is Monday, I would check a calendar just to make sure.
First the media split the country with Brexit. They then moved on to immigration and asylum seekers. They are now turning the middle classes against the poor. And it’s working. Labour have just sorted out miners pensions that were suffering from the Tories being in power. However, having just driven round a few ex mining towns in the north the very people Labour are trying to help will be voting Reform at the next election. Flags everywhere even though you’d probably go months in these areas without seeing a black face. At least me and my family are white and middle class but heaven help the poor and black/mixed race when Farage is PM. A friend of mine is hoping to settle down with his American/Taiwanese partner but is worried about where the safest place would be for her to live.
