The Labour Government

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

The real living wage and the (fake) living wage, bad idea from the tories to rename it.
Its not really a great look.....

We will raise the living wage to a figure you can't live on.

Only in the UK :-)

We calculate a living wage and then fail to apply to the state pension..... always assuming that pensioners dont actually need to live.

You really want to see people driving cars or operating machinery having taken cannabis - stupid idea

Given some of the fucking nutters driving standards, a little weed would make roads much safer..

Living wage about £430 a week for 40 hours? My mistake....at £12.71 an hour x 40 = £508 a week

State pension falls short of that by a lot.

How the fook has this slipped through?
Sabotage?

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Personal allowance remains the same, the OBR sabotage the budget before the chancellor sits down nothing like this has ever happened before. The entire document has been released online.

Someone has fucked up big time or has deliberately just fucked the chancellor and government.

Starmer can't use the Truss budget as a point score after this major fuck up.

It might be to see Robot Reeves short circuit after her budget has been leaked.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Kemi been thrown a lifeline.
She may be a poor leader of a floundering party but such incompetence as has been shown recently makes the Tories seem like a viable alternative again

She's quite rightly nailing him and the government at the moment.

The McSweeney line was a good one to be fair.

Budget details leaked before official announcement discussing on tv now…a total shambles

Keith got a battering then

 

[west didsblue]

Markets have barely reacted to the budget.
The government will be breathing a sigh of relief.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

There doesn’t seem to be much difference between labour and the tories now, in terms of bad PR and absolutely messing up big announcements
