Nor does anyone except Mr Doom and Gloom pessimist is my middle name.

 

 

I dread to think what he's going to be like this afternoon. I expect a series of posts about why everything in the budget is bad news for everyone. I don't doubt that there will be bad news in the budget, because that's the way of things, but there is no need to spin it into the end of the world is nigh.

Doesn’t seem anything in the budget to cause a significant unexpected anger as they was nothing negative that was a surprise. . 

 

Tories and Lib Dem’s seem to think Inheritance Tas changes relating to family farms could be the main U turn at some point particularly as their saying the Environmental secretary tried to stop its inclusion.

Just a guess, this thread went quiet the second the potential posters realised pub beer is going down in price!

Seems to have gone down relatively well, despite the doom mongering of the past month plus. Lots of talk about growth being sluggish until 2032 although the measures should start to bear fruit by then - good! This country needs to stop with the short-termism. We need long-term investment all over the place - in terms of people, time AND money. If Labour start delivering some of that, then it's a start.

Election in 2029 so Labour will need to be seen by enough voters  as having improved the country to win a majority again I suspect. .

Why? The Tories made it progressively worse over 14 years and won 4 General elections.
