Astra Zeneca's £450m investment on Merseyside up the spout thanks to our wonderful government: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1we943zez9o

You don't encourage growth by penalising companies for taking more staff on.
You don't encourage growth by taxing companies into the ground.
You don't encourage growth by making it more expensive to invest in your home-grown companies.

The stupid woman should go back to customer complaints!

I don't think much to the Chancellor's plan for growth; the Heathrow & 'Silicon Valley' wee pinched from the Condervatives for a start: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czxknwyxk09o

Won't be long - Starmer has every confidence in Reeves.

The pressure on Reeves to go is rising. I wonder how long before Starmer throws her under the bus?

They make Johnson & Truss look almost professional.

They can tart it up all they like, they are at fault. They lied, they have no experience, they refused to listen to those that knew better. Without a doubt, this is the worst government in living memory - and that's saying something!

Apparently, it isn't the government's fault and we're going to have to pay even more tax: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14287625/Starmer-hints-spending-cuts-blames-volatile-global-economy-post-Budget-meltdown-PMQs-insists-Reeves-No11-years.html

Don't you feel so sorry for them Bunch of Wayne Kerrs!

The splits are beginning to show within Labour. The recent focus on these rape gangs is causing rather a rumpus. Starmer (as head of the CPS - He keeps reminding us) is about to find that you can delegate authority, but not responsibility. He was head man when it all happened, he owns the outcome.

Labour is definitely without a paddle. Sadly, there's a good chance Gob***** Farage will be involved in the next government; at least Musk seems to have called the bromance off.

I believe they have an agenda that isn't in the interests of the indigenous population. What they've done thus far amounts to treason and I'd love to see that smarmy ******* Starmer in the dock for it.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” - Wrongly attributed to Joseph Goebbels, but the sentiment is there. Unfortunately, for the shower of excrement in power, it isn't going to wash and it's beginning to wear a bit thin with most of the electorate. The Labour party is finished after this term of office, and in their hearts, they know it. No matter what happens between now and the GE, nobody will ever trust them again.

However, I honestly do think they believe their own lies. There's not one amongst the front bench trustworthy or has valid experience for the job they're doing. Frankly, I hope every last one of them succumbs to something very unpleasant.

I don't think these people are delusional; they seem to be going for the 'keep repeating the message until people believe it' approach: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14251833/Labour-winter-fuel-cash.html

Sadly, very right, Lex!

Those of us who'll still be in a position to pay tax!
