Except the added bonuses of no social cohesion, rife criminal activity and mass homelessness with no plans to address it.
Danger as bond yields head higher than under Liz Truss: ALEX BRUMMER
A haze of mystery hangs over the market for government bonds. Updates on stock markets and the pound's value routinely appear in news bulletins.
Rachel from Accounts is threatening to destroy our economy with her disastrous,poorly thought out Budget.
Crashing the economy was just the beginning
We’re already heading into recession and Labour has barely started to implement its crazy plans
www.telegraph.co.uk
How much worse ??
People on here continually quote the Telegraph a paper that doesn't have a clue as to Labour's plans.Even the name conjures up the past.With loses of £245 million they will say anything to get mugs to buy the paper.With loses of that size they are making judgments on the last budget, breathtaking.
Sorry, beaky, another report from a different source suggesting that the new Labour Government has spectacularly failed!!

Labour are not radical enough to make any difference.
There has even been a classic Thatcher privatisation of the Royal Mail, now to be foreign owned and stripped of its assets incurring massive debt to be paid by the tax-payer.
I'm sure Labour voters were not expecting that!
Wave it through Britain, alas, continues, white elephant HS2 there wil never actually be a train.
Bankers and the Treasury run the economy, as they did throughout the previous 14 years, in their self-interest.
Brexit, and high interest rates, will keep the UK economy flat-lining or in recession.

It's like reading a Morning Star editorial.

40 years for a Brit to buy it though and tbh that is quite a xenophobic statement. The big white tent in Greenwich was labelled a white elephant and has since proven to be anything but. Brexit hasn’t flat lined the economy, 2TK and his motley crew of misfits have started that. The UK was in a decent place financially but not now with thieves dishing out the worst budget ever.
You are getting your socialist wet dream and they will come for yours as well.

Twenty Broxtowe councillors quit Labour over Starmer's leadership
The group have accused the party of "abandoning traditional Labour values" in recent months.

Twenty councillors have quit Labour in protest at the party's direction under Sir Keir Starmer.
Going well so far. This thing normally happens at the end of a term in office not 6 months in. Only another 4 years and a bit left.

Darling Rachel is probably the most ignorant, useless Chancellor we have ever had in the UK.

'Economic crisis looms because Reeves cannot make the damn sums work'
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is scaring the hell out of economists. They say she's driving the UK into a needless crisis because she can't get her maths right.

Bloody Tories privatising the NHS. 😀
www.dailymail.co.uk
Actually the real problem has been that doctors seem reluctant to use this scheme and would rather keep patients waiting longer for the NHS. We shall see if Streeting has better luck getting the NHS to use it.
Millions more patients to receive free treatment in private hospitals
Sir Keir Starmer yesterday pledged to make 'better use' of the private sector so people can be seen more quickly for a wider range of issues.

A relative has just had a back operation at a private hospital via the NHS and can't praise the treatment highly enough. However, it is interesting to note that he thought the admin there was awful, lost notes and blood tests, thinking he was another patient - so not just the NHS with poor admin.Bloody Tories privatising the NHS. 😀

The premium is being applied because the Bank of England has not cut interest rates as the USA and Europe have done.
'Markets' do not rate their ability to do so.
It's time to consider ending their independence, the last thing we need is any further de-regulation of the serially incompetent Bank of England.
😎
So nothing at all to do with Rachel's total incompetence ??
