I really do not care a hoot about the timing as long as though in need get help.

They say they are going to find millions but personally havnt felt any benefit so far. My GC havnt had any tutoring promised a year ago to catch up on lost schooling,
I don’t see 40 new hospitals or 100,000 new doctors and nurses and on it goes. Just Promises of millions or billions to be spent which never seem to materialise.
He will get away with this as he has got away with all the other broken promises.
He wants to ‘buy’ us, and he will, with his promises and lies. Why are so many taken in. He is an embarrassment.

The timing is certainly meant to try to save his hide. Johnson has already successfully fooled some of the people who think that being fined only once is a good thing. I expect a windfall tax will now be announced when last week it was not on. Sunak is spinning like a top.

I won't forgive or forget party gate. The help is essential for people to survive. I just hope it's enough.

I hope that they give help to the poorest and don’t spread it out to those who don’t need it just to garner votes in the up coming by-elections.

It’s obvious why this is happening today , I certainly can’t be bought by them trying to water down Sue Grays report on parties etc.but fear others might be.

They break after until after the Jubilee this afternoon, so Johnson will be able to hide out for a couple of weeks?.

But, regardless, I do hope they have got measures to really help us - these predicted energy cost rises are terrifying some people.

Couldn’t be timed so that the media stop talking about the party culture at no 10.?

Probably but in the whole scheme of things does it really matter they are doing something to help which is what was needed.

The announcements about who is going to get what help, and how it's going to be paid for, is being announced at 11am, to Parliament, and then Sunak will tour the media programmes.

I've linked to the DM as it's paywall free, but as every media source seem to be saying the same things, I imagine (as ever) it's been leaked to journalists.
