We'll see. I'd be pretty sure on it to be fair. But I'm not always right.

A Reeves horror show, with worse to follow!!
If Rachel from Accounts is looking for savings she might want to try here. Labour didn't cause this but they can reduce the numbers if they want to.

Everyone was warned what would happen when Liebour got in.
The same that has happened for the last 50 years in gov when they were spending our money as fast as they could.
Be prepared to be as poor as a third world country in 2025.

We were already rated a third world country,I am VERY happy that the N.H.S. finally got a financial boost from the Budget.

Rachel is up the creek without a paddle:

'Rachel Reeves’s 20 biggest mistakes in 2024 - we’ll all pay for them in 2025'
Just about everything Chancellor Rachel Reeves could get wrong has gone wrong. She's made constant needless mistakes and we'll all pay a high price next year.

Exactly and they want the answers by mid-Jan 🤣. This lot really haven’t got a clue how to govern. All those years in opposition and they have learnt f all. Popcorn itching to be cracked openStarmer asks UK regulators for ideas to boost growth

Bit of an odd one this. I'm not against any government taking advice but ask a public service body for ideas on how to grow the economy?Starmer asks UK regulators for ideas to boost growth

Isn't that like asking the police how criminals could do crime better?
The public service doesn't have a clue about productivity and slashing red tape. What Starmer should do is ask business for ideas and then forward them to the regulators for their views as to why this should not happen e.g. sending children up chimney's might be good for productivity but I suspect that Ofgen might disagree. 😀
Not many people remember chimneys.
