I think he's the worst PM in living history and I honestly doubt if his cabinet has a functioning brain cell amongst them. This shower has finished the Labour Party.

I have a horrible feeling we're going to be stuck with them until the Tories sort themselves out, which could take a very long time.

Some sort of record for descending into a s***show so quickly must have been broken by the current government: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13929989/The-Government-free-fall-Labour-chaos-Keir-Starmer-ditches-powerful-chief-aide-Sue-Gray-Tories-asking-run-country-now.html

I've read all sorts of excuses, but the bottom line is that they are not up to the job, are out of touch, and most have been promoted well above their very mediocre abilities.

I'm thinking that we need a different system to find our representatives, but those that I am aware of all have drawbacks.

Unfortunately, they have no idea. Simply raising taxes is just lazy and sloppy. - Just as they are!

Looks like we could be stuck with Labour for a long time. The final 2 candidates in the Conservative leadership race are total non-entities.

I suspect Badenoch is one to watch for the future. If she stays, I reckon she might make PM.

Apparently, they are nicknamed, 'Honest Bob' and 'Kemmi Kazi' ;)

Apparently, the government has a £40 billion 'hole' in its accounts, and guess who's going to be making the 'shortfall' up: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14005275/rachel-reeves-workers-tax-rises-national-insurance-budget.html

Here's the results: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxl1zd07l1o

I'm sure the price of the beer I buy in the pub this evening will have gone down by a penny.

Last night, my (tight) mate actually asked the landlady when she was bringing prices down. For a brief minute, I thought she was going to bar him! :) :) :)

At least licencees will get an extra 80p out of their average barrel of beer.

Looks like the budget might have a knock-on effect for our council tax bills: https://www.warwickshireworld.com/news/people/stratford-district-council-senior-figures-express-concern-over-governments-budget-4856278

The budget has not been thought through properly at all. It has been compiled by complete amateurs who have absolutely no idea.

There is something called the 'law of unintended consequences' which is going to come and bite this pathetic government on its ar$e.

Frankly, I wouldn't pay the government in rusty washers, every last one of them is unemployable in the real world.
