Rachel Reeves looked like she’d rather be anywhere else at PMQ,s today, very upset trying not always successfully to stem the tears. Gonna jump or will she be pushed…

Reportedly an argument with the speaker yesterday and today before PMQs lead to it.
Badenoch is something else though - described as a personal matter by Starmer, she demands to know what it was and why she was crying because “if its a personal matter, we should know, because you normally tell people what a personal matter is” - EH?!
Nobody ever tells people what personal reasons for getting upset at work are, especially in a public facing job 🤦🏻♂️

I`m sure she`ll somehow manage to blame Liz Truss, or 14 years of Tory rule for her blubbering in parliament today.
Labour are an absolute laughing stock.

Sounds to me that privately before PM’s today she was accosted by MP’s of her own party who shamed her for her actions, perhaps even by close friend(s)
Power before principles will always end in tears.

Isn`t that what every Tory finance minister did? Blamed Labour for a global financial market crash if I recall. Both parties tanked the economy but only one did it while claiming to help people. The Tories are supposed to be the party of careful spending and strong work ethic. They`re nothing but a bunch of lazy thieves.

So we are in agreement that both parties that have governed the U.K. for many, many years are absolutely useless…

Does that mean you think of Reform, as the stinking, steaming pile of awful excrement produced by the other three?

Well, they`re all high tax earners for a start. Obviously it won`t impact them really.

We will remove the winter fuel allowance
You can have it back as we have brought much more stability and can afford to do so
We will increase taxes as it is much worse than we thought 15 months after we got access to the books
What an absolute mess that assumes we are fools.

She`s not an economist. This is the problem - letting people have no clue about their remit make decisions.

They all have advisors but they don`t have to listen to them. Remember - the same civil servants advise whoever is in government. They exist to serve the government of the moment. Do you think a policy officer told Truss what to do? These guys are walking egos.

At least an Income Tax rise wont affect us up here in the pay packet, but if she raises NI for employees then will take a double hit both in the payslip and on the shelves.
The biggest conmen out there though are the supermarkets - prices been getting bumped up big time yet again. £16 spent on 6 basic items the other day in Morrisons…..scandalous

SpAds and impartial civil servants are different.
The SpAds are politically appointed.

Its Simples .. If you read and believe the Tory Press then we are doomed
Labour have a huge hole to fix left by the previous incumbent
The Tory`s would never raise tax as it would hurt them more than me and you
If raising tax helps to fix the Tory fek up then so be it

Yep, SpAds are down to them. It`s luck of the draw though.
The changes WILL affect Scotland as any shortfall needs made up. High earners are currently taxed slightly more in Scotland but that pays for those free bus passes etc (bloody Buspasspar 😉)
