Despite his "no go areas" comments last week, I heard him on the News Agents, and I felt he was one of the few relatively decent ones left. I think his quitting highlights the issues the tories face. I actually think he nails it here and is quite funny. See, I got here yersterday, I should be a politcal journalist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44823 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Dunno why the tweet won't embed, but Sunak plans to campaign on a reduction in the basic rate of income tax to 16%. Everything is fucked. People want public services that work, and these clueless pricks just keep shouting "LOWER TAXES! LOWER TAXES!" Mental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can he do that with the OBR looking over his shoulder? Also, people know public services are fucked and this would fuck them even more. Most people rely on at least one service. Still, this worries me a bit. Because a large section of people are cunts who wou;d throw the country to the dogs if they thought it would benefit them by a few quid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want public services that work. Another 5 years of this lot in exchange for paying a little bit less tax is not gonna appeal. Everyone is fucking sick of them.

NJS 4378 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Might be a ploy for the next but one GE - tempt Starmer to keep the cuts and be more fucked than they already are or raise taxes which can be used as a wedge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d need to reverse it straight away imo and say it’s absolutely necessary to reverse the trend of public services failing.

Alex 35064 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Nice bit of budget coverage this am from Faisal Islam on the BBC. Making the seemingly bullshit claim that the public want lower taxes and a smaller state despite pressures on public services. Without providing any evidence. Then proceeding to ask if the public will blame the government for problems caused by the global economic climate and events like covid, which have caused a larger public sector. But didn’t mention Brexit being a cause of that too. And also failed to make reference to the self-inflicted stuff by Truss in relation economic pressures. Compare that to what you see on Channel 4 News and even GMTV. They’re an absolute fucking disgrace these days. Edited March 6 by Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The public sector themselves weren't even furloughed and worked through covid. Brexit on the other hand is causing masses of red tape andis responsible for mass immigration from India and Africa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he dithers it’ll be weaponised all the more Aye there'll be enough goodwill for a short period of time if he's brave enough to make the statement that the last government's actions were all about salting the earth and trying to make life more difficult for everyone under a Labour government. I think, by now, the public are ready to hear the argument that the only way to improve public services is if we can pay for it, and all the last lot were doing was trying to buy your vote with tax cuts. You showed them you were above that by voting for a change, and now we all need to get on with the job of fixing the mess we've been left, and that starts with reversing some of the stupid decisions we've all been subjected to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people behind it aren’t stupid. It’s payback jobs for the boys and to spread right-wing agenda under the guise of news. It was never meant to make money imo. Although it’s nice to see it’s not doing very well the losses are going into the back pockets of a right set of grifting cunts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the financial losses their efforts to pull the Tories even further to the right have opened the door of No.10 to Keir Starmer.

Renton 21593 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Why am I listening to Hunt making bizarre personal attacks at Angela Rayner here? Honestly, it just makes me rage. Now he's shamefully stlen Labour's idea on Non Doms, claiming it was originally a policy from Nigel Lawson. Just fuck off Hunt you cunt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
