Happily retired aircraft engineer. Love my kids and Grandkids and hoping for a healthy retirement, health is crucially important.
Labour man, Keir supporter, Celtic man, humanist, Trump & Farage are abominations. Not interested in Bit coin shite. No DM’s.

So the OBR report has been leaked/stolen before the Chancellor speaks.
BBC2 Politics live has just announced everything thats going to be in the budget before the chancellor stands up to make her speech.
Unprecedented.

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.
