I believe austerity is now popular with the Centrists on here, strong and stable.

Acceptable if not popular. Blame the tories blah blah blah. It’s a political choice, it always is.

I do find it amusing to see the people who regarded austerity as being completely unnecessary when the budget deficit was over 10% of GDP now spending their days defending it when the deficit is at 4% of GDP.

Low income families with too many kids, low income pensioners who have a bit too much to qualify for credits and the repeated messaging that there are "too many people out of work due to disabilities".

Next target on the list of those who need to share the burden .... she's definitely working from the bottom up here.

Our welfare bill is too high. Mostly driven by in work benefits. It stops companies worrying about paying a proper wage.

To this extent I’ve no issue with the public sector pay rises as (in theory) it promotes private sector pay rises as well and she is going to need to be brutal - not going after claimant but go after the companies and tax them until they start paying properly.

I've accepted finally that we are all in a continous loop until we shuffle off this mortail coil.

Yeah more PFI. It's a change from the post B word Tories sure but it's looking more like the shittest compilation album from the previous 4 decades.

It's what I expected, some told all and sundry that the socialist saints will save us while it looks like they just got a bigger spade and started digging a lot faster.

Yep. The ones that deserve our sympathy are those that thought they were voting for something different.

No austerity for me, these pay rises for people are superb.

Just read the last couple of pages, apologies to those that I may have offended.

Reminds me of the Rags and their salty tears.
