So as briefed the Spring Statement reported a worsening of our economic outlook this year with no remedial measures. Unemployment up, growth down. An admission the whole forecast was out of date before delivered, with no adjustments for a surging oil and gas price and war in the Middle East. Pathetic.
Why no action to relieve mass unemployment for young people , brought on by the Jobs tax?
Why no action to prevent more closures and bankruptcies of hotels, restaurants and pubs, accelerated by business rate hikes?
Why no action to save more family farms, brought on by the farms tax?
Why no action to cut energy bills, sent up by net zero madness and high energy taxes?
Why no action to lift the bans on producing more oil and gas at home?
Why no action to save the petrol and diesel car industry from full enforced closure by 2030?
Why no action to stimulate housebuilding as the government falls further and further behind its target?
Why no action to stop the crazy expensive Chagos give away?
Why no action to tell the EU their idea of re set offers the UK no benefits or extra growth?

Why not action you ask. Because everything is going to plan.
You don’t really think this level of mendacity is accidental or incompetence. No of course not, it’s following instructions

Good morning – again.
This is because they are not working for us. Us being the ‘Little People’.

How are you finding the Lords ? And have you mistakenly turned to the Green Benches instead of the red one’s ? 🙂
Also. What committees and / or duties will you be doing there ?

That was it because this useless government are running on vapours in the fuel tank, they really are a bunch of useless muppets sitting there in the houses of Parliament with a smug look on their faces saying to the public we don’t have to do anything about the economy because we’re here for another 3years to really ballocks up the United Kingdom and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it

WHY indeed.
The simple answer that we are all very aware of is that the UK is ordained to die a death at the hands of net-0. They cannot afford to stimulate the economy in any way while suppressing every possibility.
The only way that the UK will recover is if we get rid of the fanatics forcing disproved weather ideology down our throats.

The whole thing was a rant from start to finish. Every other sentence contained the words ‘the last Tory government’. Also full of, not funny, jokes. There was no substance. A waste of time watching. I am furious that I am forced to pay to listen to this tripe.!

I agree.The SS was just meaningless waffle and anti Conservative/Reform rhetoric

I suggest it is because their primary objective is to wreck the economy, to destroy our energy, food and defence security and to weaken and destabilise the UK as much as they can in order to justify an attempt to rejoin the EU.
Hence, Two-Tier handing Gibraltar over to the EU and allowing the French and Greeks to defend British bases on Cyprus: this will be used to boost his justification for joining an EU Defence Pact (and destroying our relationship with the USA).
