There’s so much of this from serious commentators whether it’s the OBR, IFS or Ed Conway. Huge rise in borrowing but growth downgraded. Total shitshow from Rach in customer services who’s had ages to write this budget

    Millsy Starmer’s personal ratings are the lowest since records began and that’s after two months not 14 years 😂

        Christ, Labour are in the door 5 minutes and Alistair is up on his high horse, marauding through the crowd complaining about £1 price hikes and various other non-runners. Comical stuff. Any Tory who voted wholeheartedly for Boris Johnson should be living under a rock right now and not surfacing for at least another 45 years.

        I wonder if Al has bought Boris’s new book yet? Plenty of copies still available.

        Labour boasted we would be the fastest growing economy in the G7 but the OBR forecasts the average family will be worse off over the course of the parliament as a direct result of this budget and that disposable incomes will fall. Total disasterclass. Anyway, I’ve got money to make!

          The same political nonsense spouted by Govts the world over. You voted for a Party that railroaded the public for a generation to come in order to line their own pockets, which is all measurable by actual evidence as opposed to rhetoric, ole Ally. Stop embarrassing yourself. I bet the millions affected by the Brexit conjob are echoing your sentiments right now, all wagging their fingers at Starmer as they sell their overseas properties for a fraction of their value.

              LT42 You’ve been consistently offensive to me in the past despite having never met so don’t even bother. If you were on fire, I wouldn’t even spit on you 😉

                  alistair You can only debate with Alistair if you’ve had the pleasure of meeting him. Gotcha. Not the best at the ole messageboard lark are you, son?

                    Having met Alistair I can confirm he’s a lot better online.

                      Smallman1 lol, his absolute ponce persona on here is a, how would he say?, “breath of fresh air”.

                        It’s a pity we sold off so much stuff to foreigners, if we still had a few of these we might be able to generate some income, rather than sending all the money out the country:

                        British Telecom
                        British Aerospace
                        Britoil
                        British Gas
                        British Steel
                        British Petroleum
                        British Airways
                        British Coal
                        British Rail
                        Royal mail
                        The National Grid
                        The National Water Authorities

                        Just as well you can’t put a price on banter, Amps.

                          LT42 Imagine trying to sell off Ed’s banter… Woolworth’s Bargain Bin. Not sure the Sovereign Wealth Funds will be sniffing about.

                            vinnyt77 Am midway through my second p. Glorious

                            Smallman1 Have just been to the Coach & Horses in Soho.

                            Dan am going down the pub later to save my 1p

                            All this cashing in has made me decide to stop in at the tap when I get back to Mcr

                                    vinnyt77 Is that second pee after the 4th pint V?

                                    The more I think about it the more we should just abolish NI. Put all personal income into a pot, be it dividends, self employed, capital gains, employed or anything else, tax it all at the same rate but have different tax bands (like we do now)/

                                    the admin costs of dealing with NI are ridiculous.
