This PM is no different to any other, he makes promises he know he cannot keep…

Starmer has said the budget will be painful but it will effect those with broad shoulders more.
He has also cancelled Sunak's helicopter that he spent thousands on flying more than any other PM.
I will wait to see who will feel the pinch after the budget.

I can't see another thread on this so thought I would start one. Apologies if I have just missed it.
I will try to give a quick overview of the beginning of the speech:

No one could possibly have foreseen for one second that the Conservatives were not being completely honest about the state of the nations finances. It was therefore a terrible shock to find a "black hole". This means that any promises made before the election, e.g. not removing the winter fuel allowance, can now be totally disregarded.
