Unemployment up
Inflation up
Dear energy got even dearer
New UK oil and gas stopped for the year
Ban on new petrol cars brought forward to close UK factories sooner
National Insurance hiked for self employed and employees, hitting jobs
More tax on the rich led to many more leaving the country with loss of tax revenues
Disabled threatened with benefit loss, then a partial U turn
Refusal to enquire into rape gangs delays getting to truth
Gave away Chagos needlessly
Committed to paying Mauritius for 100 years
Gave in to EU demands with no legal agreement to any improvements for UK
No growth in their first six months thanks to run up to budget and budget tax rises. Further fall last month after some Q1 growth
Claimed they inherited too much spending and borrowing, only to make very large increases in both
June 30, 2025
Good morning.
All going nicely to plan I would say. That is if you want to ruin a country that is.
Plus. Failure to tackle both illegal and legal MASS IMMIGRATION. And a U-Turn on his pound shop “Rivers of blood speech.”
That early election call by the Little Usurper may have been the smartest thing he has ever done.
June 30, 2025
Mark, as you say the early election gave the inevitable Labour government and consequential disaster.
People say Reform will not be able to govern as they have no political/parliamentary expertise – not sure that expertise has helped over the last 25 years….
June 30, 2025
Hands up those who were convinced of expertise?

You forgot to mention giving in to Spain on Gibraltar , jailing a mother for a silly facebook entry but letting demonstrators chant anti Israeli comments on a weekly basis.
Presiding over a two tier justice system biased against the host population.
There is much more this vindictive government has done and will continue doing unless they are forcibly removed.
July 1, 2025
Ian
I wonder if the Glastonbury offenders will get jailed !
Two tier justice, or non justice again ?
I see it is reported that the Americans have already pulled the Visa for the planned tour.
June 30, 2025
Indeed plus the total insanity of the workers rights bill and Ed Milibrain’s deluded Net Zero religion. But then Kemi, Coutinho, Sunak… are also behind Net Zero. Doom loop economic lunacy from Reeves and Starmer!
Plus evil two tier justice *& not even recognised by the dire Lord Hermer) , police, government in all its glory. If Lucy Connolly with all the mitigating factors receives 31-month sentence (sentence appeal turned down) for a foolish but rapidly withdrawn tweet first office then what do you get for the chanting at Glastonbury death to the IDF and the BBC’s open transmission of this?
Dithering and equivocation it seems!

June 30, 2025
Reeves and Starmer are finished says Starkey in his latest excellent video. Alas not quite yet?
The appalling decline of the UK perhaps best illustrated by the fact that one David Lammy now sits behind Lord Palmeston’s desk he suggests!
July 1, 2025
The workers’ rights bill hasn’t come fully in yet. When it does, small employers will scream. Semi-retired and retired individuals losing access to zero-hour work will suffer. Small business not having the ability to fire someone with atrocious sickness records …
June 30, 2025
‘ One year on. A lot gone wrong.’
Three more years before a general election.
June 30, 2025
A lot gone wrong and even more starkly, nothing gone right! Nothing.
MPs already beginning to panic. And the Govt now warning of ‘war on our streets’.
We will see more rebellions and maybe a few votes of No Confidence.
The government could fall (though not far because it’s already crawling in its belly).
June 30, 2025
4 year probably they will hang on to the bitter end as Major did. Though halfwit Sunak idiotically threw in the towel in 6 month early to give us Starmer. How is his Covid “vaccine” “unequivocal” apology to the house coming on? How much evidence does he need? It is totally overwhelming.
What’s gone right? Not a single thing that I can see at home or overseas. They promised to relax planning but not even that delivered as yet?
June 30, 2025
With chumps in charge, or should that be charlatans, what else should we expect? It is like all Labour governments. They live in a fantasy world, unrelated to the real world. They crash the economy. They all do it. No wonder so many who can vote with their feet and their wallets under the burden of excessive taxation with more on the way. The only hope is another run on the pound followed by a failure in the gilts market to raise the cash from gullible foreign investors who should know better. That might cause the fall of the government and a general election.
June 30, 2025
Yup, keep watching the price on new Gilt sales, see here, there’s pfd file to download.

My only question is, what rate of borrowing on a new issue will make Reeves and Starmer think again about their economic mismanagement?
Seems even Bailey is sounding the caution bell.
June 30, 2025
The appalling Bailey and Carney have much to answer for. Reeves’s, Starmer’s, and Miliband’s… doom loop economics is obviously insane making things even worse. But the main cause of the huge government debts was Boris and Sunak wasting billions of borrowed money on very dangerous net harm Covid “Vaccines” (for millions with zero need for protection even had they been safe and effective) and hugely damaging lockdowns, covid support, covid loans and paying people to sit at home and not to work.
The businesses that survived still paying these back plus paying extra taxes and suffering all the other lunacies of Labour on top! So they pay back their own loans and pick up the bills for the loans defaulted on in taxation and with a largely bust economy!
June 30, 2025
Might be a good time to convert my pension to an annuity.
If the government defaults on its debt, is the life assurance company still contracted to pay annuities in full? If they pass the default onto pensioners, can they set that against income tax?
June 30, 2025
Dave : Question. Does a part of the pension go to another? How many years do you estimate you might have left ‘from -to’ needs to be thought about for annuity.
July 1, 2025
Until the annuity company goes bust.
June 30, 2025
What more mistakes/deliberate harms are coming in the next 12 months, I wonder?
I think there might be more crackdowns on freedom of speech and protest. Particularly if there are spontaneous summer riots kicked off by some unforseen event, or an effective grassroots campaign against some aspect of government/establishment policy gains traction.
The pro-Ukraine, anti-Russian propaganda might be increased along with diplomatic/covert action to worsen the conflict, in order to distract us from our internal woes and to provide cover for giving more of our money and sovereignty to the EU.

You omitted the debacle of the Winter Fuel Allowance and the ongoing obscenity of immigration both legal and illegal.
Their very worst sin is their systemaric destruction of the morale of the British people in their drive to 1984. On the bright side they have dug their own grave. The only question is how long before they make use of it.
June 30, 2025
@agricola – ‘dug their own grave?’ while I broadly see that, we have the obscene proposition that there is 4 more years before the have to seek approval from the country thanks to the Conservatives. People have short memories as it has been observed before a couple of small tokens of giving people their money back before the next election and they could walk it once more.
Its worth observing that the support for labour in the polls is the same as it was at the last election.
Even in the USA probably the nearest thing to a democracy around those in power have to seek approval every 2 years, not the obscene 5 years imposed in the UK.
June 30, 2025
The winter fuel allowance is a stcking plaster, they need to scrap net-zero and reduce the overall cost of fuel & energy
July 1, 2025
Ask AI what the cost of energy would be in KWH if x y z. etc
Then ask why are we pursuing expensive unreliable energy for the many. Where is all the money going?
I guess we will have wait for the US to show us.

What a depressing list and it’s only one year in as well.

You forgot to mention:
* Criminal migration up, along with the costs
* Crime up
* Millionaires fleeing the country up
I’m sure the WEF are delighted with their latest marionette’s performance.

Joshua Rozenburg interesting this morning
‘ Article 8 of the human rights convention does not prevent the United Kingdom from expelling foreign criminals, a former president of the European Court of Human Rights said at the weekend.’
He states that national law trumps the ECHR completely.
June 30, 2025
I believe EU law allowed for other member states nationals to be returned to their country of origin if they’d been here 3 months and had no work.
We did no such thing, and herein lies many of our problems.
We seem to be saddled with politicians who are people pleasers, except for the very people they should be pleasing.
They follow every treaty/ law to the letter and even, it seems, enforcing it further.
Other nations do not do so with such eagerness.
June 30, 2025
home-affairs.ec.europa.eu 11/03/2025 ‘New Common European System for Returns’.
It is for now only a proposal and would only ‘concern non-EU nationals who have no legal right to stay in the EU after having received a return decision in one of the EU member states’.

Wouldn’t say whether he supported USA bombing of Iran or not
Appointed Sue Gray then had to fire her
Appointed an anti-corruption minister who had to stand down due to corruption investigation
Cancelled Rwanda scheme leading to an immediate increase in small boat crossings
Gave a speech which he hadn’t bothered to read properly in advance which contained things he didn’t agree with but he read them out anyway
Appointed an anti-British Attorney General who is hampering policy implementation
Spent 20bn on absurd carbon capture projects which have zero ROI
etc.
June 30, 2025
Mere ineptitude, or wilful sabotage? If the latter, at whose initiative and for whose benefit?
June 30, 2025
@David Cooper – ‘wilful sabotage’ yes. If the people that are not political ideologues and don’t support a Socialist/Marxist WEF inspired rule leave. That would mean the plan is working.
June 30, 2025
Disappointing you weren’t honest enough to also list a positive.
Early days but Wes Streetings openess on the NHS and the involvement of Jim Mackay with the ten year plan puts the previous Tory administrations to shame. Appointed a ‘lifer’ to run it, no chance of change, hosed money without demanding. Improvement, politically jelly spined about its weakness and created the largest quango in the world, NHS with egregious levels of bureaucracy.
And as for the overall financial situation you left the less said the better. May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak. You created the situation that allowed Labour in. We now find they are as incompetent as ‘’you’ were.
For me, non partisan, the real question is the role of the Civil Service. Permanent Secretaries etc plus as ever the big fist of the Treasury. Their role is to ensure smooth transition/running etc. I think the mess we are in is also a metaphor for it’s incompetence.
Reply I had no executive role in the last government and was critical of its mistakes. There is as yet no evidence the NHS is tackling its quality and productivity problems. I will comment more when we see the delayed Streeting ten year plan.
June 30, 2025
reply to reply…..if any good Reform might adopt it as theirs !!
July 1, 2025
Nigl
Think you will find most of the financial problems we have now, were due to the massive cost of Covid policies which all Party leaders at the time supported, with some even wanting greater expenditure and longer lock downs.
Whilst the last Conservative governments were pathetic, i Seem to re-call the last Labour Government left a note, “no more money left” or words of similar vain, looks like we may get the next note “sorry we have maxed out on Debt” !
June 30, 2025
It’s been a poor year (you did not mention Angela Rayner’s employment bill going through the commons now either) but let’s not pretend Disability benefit didn’t need reforming. The criticism here is watering it down not that they attempted it.
Too many people on benefits full stop. The Conservatives did not attempt to address this and gave them ever more money. Life on benefits should be existence and time limited not comfort.
June 30, 2025
@Narrow Shoulders – what is called conservatives opened all the doors. As a result they are not even an opposition. Remember they take part in the same political religious indoctrination in Davos as Starmer & Co.
June 30, 2025
The whole Government simply incompetent and unfit for purpose, think it cannot get worse, just wait and see.
The sooner they go the better, as the cost of Government in the UK is now completely and totally out of control, far too many people employed doing far too little, and being paid far too much.
At least Boris had the Covid excuse, but in reality it has been the same for the last 30 years, all governments have over complicated, and over paid for everything they have been involved with, and I mean everything.
Our taxes have been well and truly wasted for decades !
June 30, 2025
Covid was no excuse. We know now that they knew what it was and how to cure it, having created the virus themselves. Johnson KNEW because after 40 years of being freely available, he banned the Nobel Prize willing Ivermectin weeks before the ‘unexpected virus hit’ and of course planes from China were allowed to continue landing.
The birth rate of vaccinated women has fallen off a cliff. So in addition to killing babies ‘until birth’ there are a lot fewer of them.
And the world was already heading for a massive collapse in the human population.
etc ed
June 30, 2025
The scientists who did develop Ivermectin (W.C. Campbell and S. Ohmura) got the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for its treatment of infections caused by parasitic roundworms in horses and humans. Covid-19 (except in a few people’s mind) isn’t caused by a parasite. Numerous studies, eg. New England Journal of Medicine, nejm.org, 30/03/2022, 386, 1721-1731, showed the absence of any significant or clinically meaningful effect of ivermectin on Covid-19 patients.
Unfortunately the same misinformation was circulated by Didier Raoult about hydroxychroroquine …with the same results: It Didn’t Do a Thing (if it ain’t got that swing).
Finally … ‘Covid-19 vaccination and birth outcomes of 186,990 women vaccinated before pregnancy: an England-wide cohort study’, The Lancet, 45, 101025, October 2024, shows that the birth rate of vaccinated women has not fallen off a cliff.
As for ‘the world already heading for a massive collapse in the human population’, well …
June 30, 2025

hefner….perhaps it escaped your notice, but generally I would allege that authorities saw fewer people, not born in UK, were suspicious of jabs? So it might be revealing to find out if the relative newcomers females were as ready to get pregnant as indigenous females?

But Lynn, all part of the master’s plan. Farmers will have to grow veggie, milk from oats…. Cows and sheep replace lions and monkeys in zoos. Education will be one size only, taking N.Korea’s model (economics, politics, history prior to 2 generations off the curriculum). All towns will have the market square arrangement for public messaging and leadership cheering by appointment. Birth control (or more accurately procreation) will be allowed according to a points system. All substantial homes surrounded by fields or woods will become State owned dachas. Vehicles will be impounded and destroyed by a lucky dip system, those selected will be replaced with a used bicycle, the new standard ElonEV will be available for Officials and their Freedom Pass will ensure road priority.

Actually the great majority didn’t fall for it. The great majority didn’t like what they had for 14 years so that became an opportunity for dismanting the country.
Their Report Card says ‘first class on all points, but some division of policy is so far acceptable’.

Lynn
No one in the World got the treatment of Covid right until the vaccine was produced and used on the masses, just look at the results.
Nothing is perfect and clearly some people had a reaction to the vaccine, but millions more had a worse effect from the virus.
Hindsight is fantastic, but counts for nothing in the scheme of things at the time, when we had 1,000 people dying a day.
July 1, 2025
Johnson’s Government downgraded Covid from a High Consequences Infectious Disease of concern FIVE DAYS before he imposed the first lockdown. The justification … because they knew it had low mortality rates.
For the action of downgrading to occur then, the mortality assessments would have been taking place a great deal earlier and the recommendation would (I suspect) have been made AT THE VERY LEAST a week beforehand.
They knew full well that the lockdowns were unnecessary and would be counter-productive. But they did it anyway. It is unforgivable and I for one will never forget and never forgive them.
June 30, 2025
All the ‘doors’ opened by the successive failures of the previous bunch, who by some bizarre train of thought have been elected and selected for continuity of what is wrong with the country at large.
The electorate has been disenfranchised and the ideological political terrorist let loose.
Parliament, the Legislators, need flushing out and the fight against the people dropped with a push to becoming a democracy and find those that want to work with and for those that empower and pay them.
To me the blame isn’t with any one sector of the ‘Uniparty’, but the concept and belief that 25 years of Socialism has improved the country, rather than looking at the truth this experiment has wrecked a Nation and has us racing back to the dark ages while the World moves forward. That’s the point the world is moving forward, achieving, gaining while the UK’s political class is still fighting not working with
June 30, 2025
It seemed to me the very concept of ‘Levelling Up’ was more about bringing this nation and its people down, in order to raise those in other parts of the world.
Hence us being thrown back to the dark ages.
June 30, 2025
Sunak’s rotten government had left the country in a very fragile state so one might forgive Labour for struggling but not for the first time we witness a clueless Opposition become an inept, rudderless, government.

A complete failure to “smash the gangs”. Not even the fake charities in open sight. International HR lawyers have no intention to stop mass legal or illegal immigration. They do not believe in the nation state and rather that anyone has the human right to come and live in the UK and bring with them their grievances, customs, religions, practices and laws from their home country and furthermore whatever the immigrants say or do will be allowed because they are (curently) a minority and HR legislation is specifically designed to protect them from the will of the incumbent majority.
June 30, 2025
A great comment, and very true unfortunately.
I have to interact with some of those who work for charities for various people pitching up.
I’m amazed at how no one ever asks why everyone thinks it’s their right to come here because they’re not doing so well in their own home, or they’ve got into trouble in their own home.
I’ve heard some of the sums of money people have paid to be brought here, only to find they were duped.
These people haven’t even come from war torn countries, they just thought they’d do better here.
It seems to be common knowledge, world wide, that if you can get here you’re owed and you’ll get help to stay.
Indeed that is what people in many of these charities do, they ensure the people can stay and so the trafficking goes on and on ensuring a very successful business model for some and for us the feeling of having no say or power to be heard.

A complete failure to order gas powered electricity generators to replace our ageing fleet which will be on its last legs by 2030. Their NESO Clean Power 2030 project requires up to 35 GW of gas generated electricity for when the renewables fail and this is in addition to the 12.5 GW of interconnectors and 11.7 GW of demand-side flexibility (DSR), aka rolling blackouts. Also a complete failure to order a fleet of RR SMRs or any other nuclear even though nuclear is the only low carbon power which is reliable and affordable (if not built in the UK).The lack of reliable, affordable energy by 2030 is deliberate.

All the negatives on the list provided by Sir John are accepted but of course we must also look at the positives and list those.
Here is that list.
1. Reform are growing their influence and scale of operation.
I would list more but can’t think of any.
June 30, 2025
Sir John, you forgot Angela Rayner’s legislation to reduce employment still further by increasing union and employee rights.
Also Wes Streeting’s brilliant strategy to force supermarkets to reduce our food purchases by 100 calories, which, in order to monitor, will require employment of all those NHS England staff supposedly being made redundant.
June 30, 2025
The biggest mistake of all the incumbents of No10 in the last quarter of the century is to think that taking more tax, increasing borrowing was ‘NOT’ removing money from, therefore reducing the economy. You cannot let a single one of them off the hook for the ever-increasing dire-straits ‘they’ seemingly out of personal hate have forced on others – the nation.
The only thing that would have allowed them to successfully peruse their political ideologies was to have an economy that could fund their personal self-esteem projects. They refused, instead worked on malicious punishment to impose personal ideology before country.
Some around want to ‘just’ blame the latest shower, yes, they are dire, political terrorists of another order, but they are just perusing with more zeal the directions chosen by those that came before them.
One of the main criteria of a government is that in a Democracy, if previous policies were wrong you get to cancel them. Building on them, building on failure, is not good Government
June 30, 2025
Deeply depressing list of abject failure. Illegal immigration out of control costing billions and legal immigration far too high alongside unemployment and people on sickness benefits. Law and order is failing as is the very social fabric of our towns and villages. The state of our roads, dirty road signs obscured by overgrown shrubs, verges and gutters littered and covered with weeds. Starmer’s overseas focus, which he admits, has resulted in neglect of the British people. He prefers strutting the world stage with his WEF/EU chums rather than dealing with vital domestic issues.
June 30, 2025
Sir John
While your list today highlights the ongoing situation from a lackadaisical legislator. We have more than 800 individual elected or appointed a majority with power agreeing with the pursuance and direction of the government.
Every point your mention that is seen as an impediment to the Nation, its growth, its future was started in full or had the ball rolling by all those that came before. Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Sunak now of course Starmer. They were all convinced of the need to wreck the UK, not one of them moved the Country forward they all dished out malicious punishment.
So, while I agree with your synopsis of the last 12 months, most of it was played out by those that came before for no other reason than ego and personal self-esteem. It’s a culmination of a rotten way to run anything let alone a country
June 30, 2025
In all honesty, it doesn’t feel or look a great different from the last tory government

Ha ha. But Labour has Rayner waiting in the wings. Who did the Tories have?

Good point

The same but even worse!
June 30, 2025
What we call “the government” is not in charge. How many of the major recent decisions were even in the Labour Party manifesto? We’re “governed” by the Civil Service and the judiciary as a result of HR and Net Zero legislation and this is why we have the Uniparty and nothing changes when the colour of the “government” changes, other than it gets worse when Secretary of States become even more incompetent and incapable of standing up to their civil servants. I would much rather see the judiciary, the heads of quangos, regulators and the permanent secretaries of all the “government” departments interviewed by the MSM rather than MPs for these are the people who are really making the poor decisions that are ruining our country and who are never sacked for laziness, negligence, incompetence, malfeasance, corruption, misbehaviour, insubordination or even treachery.
June 30, 2025
PS : An example of the nonsense coming from regulators is Ofcom declaring that anthropogenic climate change is “settled” but apparently not human biology. So the BBC are undemocratically allowed to deny any different views on climate change to be broadcast whilst continuing to allow the views of those who believe that XY=XX, even after a recent court ruling.

Julius Caesar once complained that ‘the most inept were elected to lead Rome’ (or words to that effect).
A few great men forestalled the Fall, although they lost the ‘Republic’ in favour of not always benign Kings.
But nothing could change the trajectory.
We need our BEST in Westminster on both sides of the House without delay, to save our Republic, or nothing will stop our trajectory either.

Something that appears to have disappeared from the screens: ‘Nine years on, what has actually gone well?’
Kind of related: FT.com 30/06/2025 ‘Denser, smarter cities will boost UK productivity’.
June 30, 2025
Strange how importing over 7 million engineers, doctors and IT experts since 2000 hasn’t achieved this promised productivity gain nor much of an increase in GDP per capita.
Either it’s all because of Brexit as you and the FT put it down to hefner or maybe a large number of our new arrivals since 2000 are low skilled and low earners and require State support.
June 30, 2025
And, don’t forget, we are closer than ever to getting pulled into the Ukraine war and possibly onto ww3 because our illustrious leader needs to distract us from the problems noted and so many more, by helping to make it all the more possible.
We didn’t need to get involved with Ukraine, just like HMG didn’t need to steal so much through taxes or borrow so much to create a huge national debt.
Did we vote for a high spending high taxation government that was so eager for war? I don’t recall reading about any of that in any election prospectus.
As well as the extensive and swelling moral decline we see in our police, justice systems and elsewhere, this labour regime has shown the way things will go with their deceit, double-speak and crippling legislation, they have actively encouraged a woke approach to everything.
Let’s face this labour government was never equal to the task of running this country with dignity, honesty or even with a budget in mind. The distortions they have introduced into our lives show them not just to be a rogue regime, they are traitors to our nation.
June 30, 2025
You omitted the Education Tax on private schools driving pupils into a state sector unable to cope.
June 30, 2025
The last 30 years of appalling governance have highlighted the low calibre of our MPs, Ministers, and civil servants. No MP is calling for a balanced budget, and no MP is focused on stopping government spending and the rebellion in Labour ranks over the slight reduction in disability benefits shows they are in cloud cuckoo land.
We have a PM and a Chancellor with no authority, staggering from crisis to crisis, and it will only get worse.
When will the people get angry enough to rise up and demand change? We cannot accept four more years of this shambles!
June 30, 2025
Brits don’t do civil disorder, but in case some do, or want to, they should create a diversion to remove Police off the streets to attend it. You know, something threatening like a statue in Trafalgar Sq. daubed with red paint, a few hippies and mad professors chained to the nearby traffic lights. That should do it.
Good Luck, I support you from afar..

Absolutely correct, over 30 years since the country was governed with some financial common-sense, no wonder we are in a dire financial State.

I lived in fear of there being another Labour government and one more radical than even the Blair one.
Now it is here I have just resigned myself to it because I expected all of this and more, which I’m sure will come, and I feel buffered as there are no surprises. Well for me anyway.
Not so for many of the bright young things, the idealists. They have had a bit of a shock.
It is hitting some of them in the pocket and they don’t like it. It was only ever meant to be the ‘rich’ those villains that stalk the land shoving children up the chimneys, that felt the financial pain and not them.
Some have seen ‘diversity’ a bit more close up and don’t like it, that was only ever meant to educate the illiterate far right masses.
So, that is a comfort and sometimes the cure is painful.
June 30, 2025
Just when you think it can’t get any worse they worsen.
Politicians need to be made accountable.
June 30, 2025
“Gave away Chagos needlessly”
Not simply needlessly but illegally. A PM who is given power temporarily for 5 years or less does not have the authority to give permanently away UK territory, nor to sign 100 year agreements, without at least having these policies in their manifesto or confirming the country’s wishes via a referendum. If we had any opposition parties we would be hearing from them that this illegal agreement will be torn up when and if they gain power at the next GE. Our PM has effectively given away our sovereignty to a foreign court. Only our enemies would agree with this.

self-employed and Employers (not employees).
Did you agree with Hunt dropping the Employees contribution from 12% to 8%?
