Outside Parliament they are digging ip the road to put in an expensive new cycle lane. They have just spent large sums on putting up ugly metal fences when there are already good defences against attacks. The government has money to subsidise companies bringing in foreign employees, when we need more jobs for UK citizens who have lost their jobs under this government. The government has plenty of money for net zero excesses.It puts billions into HS 2 and hundreds of millions to subsidise a Chinese owned steelworks. It grants thousands of sick notes for life to people with mild mental health conditions who would be better off working.
The government sees more public spending as the answer to every problem. They have created a destructive money go round, imposing unaffordable taxes on business, then having to pay some subsidy to stop too many going bust.
Starmer and Reeves have come badly unstuck over controlling defence spending, They now seem to be having the negotiation over more defence spend with the new Defence Secretary which they refused to have with the old one. Why?

Tax and waste on a slightly higher scale than the tories.
Rumour has it that Milibrain would be Burnhams Chancellor, what a combination. The country may never recover.

That’s why we need hard nosed professional technocrats from outside running things – get a group on loan from the IMF because it’s clear we cannot do it ourselves.

The government acts like someone starving with a begging bowl who fills it and then spends the money on bitumen to paint over people’s windows.
