It's a sad state of affairs. Labour has made some unforced errors but has generally been much better for the UK than their predecessors. The fact that this has not got across is due to their own poor comms and deliberate media distortion. This Tory lord, of course, has no vested interest.

"most unpopular government of all time" makes no sense when you look at what Labour have actually achieved in Government. It shows how poisonous the gutter RW press and fake news sites like X & Facebook have been in shaping public opinion since the election.

The truth is that Starmer is slowly turning our country around.
Lots of new laws already in place that benefit the masses. And don’t benefit the wealthy. They need him out and someone less effective in, who will fail.
It’s their only hope. See it for what it is!

The UK benefits most when:
- The economy is stable
- Society is cohesive
- Public institutions are strong
- Markets are predictable
So why are so many trying to disrupt this? And with lies?
Labour are a success story but are being made out to be in chaos. Why?

It is difficult to be consistent on this. It’s grossly humiliating to see Starmer licking Trump’s arse but it would be devastating for the UK to be the recipient of a Trump economic grenade.

It is not right that the media can deliberately lie and mislead the public.
Labour would win massive public support to deal with this. Leveson 2 or something similar.
That’s two ideas today to shore up support and win votes. Do it now!!

For the benefit of the half dozen readers who don't yet understand:
"Gilts" represent the cost of Government borrowing.
When the Gilt market panics, due to thinking the Government is incompetent, reckless or irresponsible, the cost shoots up.
When they are happy, the cost drops.
Good Budget today!
