Labour Government’s Bold Claim to “honesty with voters” Has Unraveled Quickly

IMO the Labour Budget was ok - seeking to balance planned current expenditure with current income. As I understand it, extra borrowing will be to finance capital projects which makes reasonable sense.

 

The UK and many Western Nations do though, have an ongoing problem with National Debt and the cost of servicing it. It's not helpful to whinge. We should bear in mind that each human in the UK has, on average, a standard of living that has been indulged, historically, to the tune of £40,000, (that's per man, woman and child), so there'll be lots more pain to come one day whichever Govt. has the misfortune to be in power.

 

As for Reeves efforts, well if anything, it's a bit timid . . .  no attempt to address the 'triple lock', (which has to go asap) and no attempt to tackle the murderous future ongoing costs of gold plated Public Service pensions. Putting Stamp Duty on 2nd homes up from 3% to 5% is a paltry effort. A 25% rate would have shown some intent !

   Seems like Labour were lying about a £22 Billion black hole .

Reason being that they could blame Tories for everything .

"Seems like Labour were lying about a £22 Billion black hole" . They lie about everything else so why not the £2 Billion black hole

The Government of the working class?????????

I believe increased in spending on the NHS and schools was a promise that people voted for.

 

  Did Labour also promise to investigate the financial irregularities during Covid ?

   Hows that investigation coming along ?

That last is the second best thing to do.

 

The best thing to do is learn Afghani  , go to France , throw away your passport etc then come back in a rubber boat and claim asylum.

Go on then. Do it.

 

You'll then find out how it all actually works. It might even stop you making idiotic comments.

No. They voted for spending that had all been costed, as the Labour manifesto pledged.

Only uneducated idiots voted for labour, those with intelligence knew exactly who they were, their experience and what would happen.

 

Same happened in the US with the idiots Biden and Harris. The left cannot run a country. Can but hope the right gets itself kicked out and liebour are a one term disaster

Data shows exactly the opposite of your claim.

 

The 'left-wing' U.S. has been leading by far for post-Covid recovery, while the right-wing UK has been trailing other G7 countries (except Germany, for readons we know)
