im away and not had a chance to really look at the budget in detail yet, although at first glance it didn't seem anywhere near as bad as expected, but as time goes on the true extent of it is starting to come to light.

Best thing for farmers is not to die within the next 5 years when this shower will undoubtedly be voted out.

Amazing how quiet labour voters have been the past few months though isn't it.

100%  Agree on both counts, from my perspective up here the Oil and Gas extension/increasing of the windfall tax is a joke, nothing but ideologically driven spite. Oil is down in the 70ish dollar range at min hence the pump prices,of course they know that but let’s just keep the big party donors happy  , Tesco, Banks, Pharma etc etc are all making more yet not subject to none of the punitive tax hits.

Let's not forget the massive benefits that Brexit has brought to our once fine nation.

Who sang that boring as **************** song “ yesterday” 

You might not like the result Mark but at least you had a vote 8 years ago 👍, unfortunately democracy doesn’t always give you the result you want 🤷‍♂️

You have a Labour government the tories are out, let’s see how it pans out 😂😂

I’d think that’s Starmers sphincter just tightened up a few notches at the thought of facing her every PMQ’s. 
So much for a racist party 🤷‍♂️

Kind of hoping that she has some ability and competence, it won't take much for her party to turn on her but past experience of them electing a female leader hasn't produced good results: Thatcher started out OK - stuck to her guns and a force to be reckoned with then went a bit mental, May was set up to fail, Truss started mental and stuck to her guns to keep being mental. UK politics needs competent female party leaders. US politics needs that too since their election is in the news too.

that's the thing though - it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they are very racist and they are just using a black woman as 'leader' to fool the kids into thinking they are not racist.

I voted for Sunak, not thinking they would win, but he seems to me genuinely intelligent, more so than nearly all other current politicians I can think of - after the budget he got straight to the point - telling Reeves she had simply fiddled the debt target.

I tend to think that’s not the case regarding your first point , hopefully she burns the shit out of Starmer in Westminster.

I’d imagine to come out of Nigeria and work your way up to be leader of the UK Conservative Party indicates she’s not exactly lacking of anything in many respects. 
One point regarding the expert analysis on yet another subject you have just provided, regarding Truss I’d say if you look beyond the insults and partisan bollocks that come with it, her decline also indicated where the real power lies behind the scenes, let’s not rock the boat too much now old chap, let’s keep the interest off the debt payments and guilts/bonds  etc coming in. Steady as she goes so to speak or to put it another way nothing ever changes.
