In just a few months how can a new government be judged as
proving to be lamentably incapable of running the country

Thank you for your sensible comment x

I thought Starmer’s giggling was rude.

Todays budget showed RR very much in command of her role and capable. Budget discussions over on the Budget thread.

I remember Rachel in parliament think it was Borris opposite pretending to play a violin I just thinkStarmer Angela and Rachel are very immature it was Rachel giggling and playing a violin

In just a few months some know so much

...because I've seen it so many times before during my life. Maggie Thatcher has them sussed "Socialists soon run out of other peoples' money"

And Thatcherites run out of National Assets to sell off on the cheap.

Gosh, has she been reincarnated?

Personally I think they missed a beat by not taxing sour grapes.

All the major parties are the same. Full of promises which they promptly break and goals that all miss the mark. A lot of long winded idiots who have absolutely no common sense at all

Minimum wage increasing to cover increase in smoking vaping and bus fares and to help you have a hope in hell of ever buying a home

Vaping is a ticking time bomb with people’s health, especially young people…

Labour are going to make it more difficult to buy counçil houses The Tory party under Margarate thatcher brought it in Have Labour ever done anything for working class people or even working people whatever the difference is

Had the Tory party done this properly they would have reinvested in building new social stock, housing would then have been much more available for people to live in.

Across the years the LP have done a lot for working people.

In terms of this budget, bus fares haven’t been “put up”, (yes, in real terms they have), but the cap extended, just not so generously, minimum wage has been increased, there’s nothing that is geared specifically to the wealthy and it’s seems a fairly balanced budget.

What would you have done differently?

Btw, I’ve seen and heard nothing about taking away single person discount on council tax, removing free prescriptions from 60-65, nothing about bus passes, perhaps someone could point me to these?

It was an 'attack' on the suggestible, some of whom were 'targeted' and others 'hit'.

Agreed about the bus fares - the Tories were going to end the subsidy in December, so this is still a concession.

Wasn’t it because there aren’t enough seats for them on the government side of the HOC’s and they didn’t want to sit with the opposition?

Ha ha. Nice one.

Is the minimum bus fare still £2 then or did it go up?

Yes either they decided not to tinker with prescriptions for 60 year olds, single person discount etc after seeing a lot of bad press - or it was made up by other politicians inciting things.

Anyone wanting to know what's being changed find out on gov uk

There are plenty people who are not politicians listening to the news and able to find things when they appear on gov uk I'm one
