So what about the budget left you unimpressed ?

Don't hold your breath. 😉

I did read it. The thing is, I do people the courtesy of reading their rubbish before commenting on it. I even do this for Nutty Nic. EDIT ( ironically ); Why do people go back and add text to posts AFTER they have been quoted and commented on / replied to ?

The only poll that matters will be the next GE. We are 4 years away.

FIFY

So you think a hung Parliament will be a good thing ?

Because they are the measure against which RR is judged. They held the reins of fiscal power for 14 consecutive years prior to the current Government, and they certainly were not a 'safe pair of hands' with regard to the economy. If the rise in headroom is a good thing, why didn't they do it ? It's a legitimate question.

How many Tory Chancellors could have done this 'good in principle' thing, but didn't ?

More on Witkoff; he has said of Putin, "I liked him, I think he was honest. I don't regard Putin as a bad guy". It was said that "Witkoff may mean well, but was embarrassingly out of his depth dealing with Putin." In dealings in the Middle East, he negotiated wth Qatar as part of the Middle-East peace efforts; during the first Trump presidency Qatar effectively bailed Wikoff's business out of financial problems, but of course there was never a conflict of interest. But then he is still better qualified for his current post than former FOX weekend TV presenter Pete Hegseth is to be Secretary of War.

Witkoff is not a politician or diplomat, he is a property developer. He has no qualification or relevant experience for his current post, unless it is in planning the post-war reconstruction program.

Fucking economically illiterate lefties.

More money for the exchequer.

What Government in this century has ?

Reeves hasn't ( yet ) shafted the UK economy as badly as Winston Churchill did in 1925 when he arbitrarily set the Pound back to it's pre WW1 value and put the country on the Gold Standard.

And find their own ways to favour their mates and shaft the rest of us.

Try the same for the Millwall game.

Ajax is just another example of how MoD procurement drags out, overshoots budgets, and creates rather than solves problems.

A British woman has been crowned as World's Strongest Woman after finishing second, as the American winner was subsequently disqualified after being found to he transgender.

In other news, you now can't get Mercs or BMWs on Motability.

If someone was being unkind they would point out that there would be a lot more noise and vibration if Ajax was actually under hostile fire.

But if this clears the backlog of cases, where are the increased numbers of the convicted going to go ? The prisons are full.

What is surprising is that the US got involved pretty much from day 1. They usually wait at least 2 years.
