Can you please stop being mental or disingenuous or silly, I want to go back to being angry at them.

Or… 😆

Like tears in the rain.

Did you get any paddles in? We went round Bute earlier in the year. Would recommend! Some local guide has a website with info.

Of course if this is the plan it’s even more reason for the plp to be rid of them.

They do currently get to choose when that is. Ha! Surprise!

Seems pretty obvious the plan is to crush dissent with robot police and social control via social media.

I remain baffled that the govt is still on X.

If they’re going to moan this much anyway why not actually do proper property tax? Copy China and maybe we can have 7% growth for a bit? 🤣

If the main issue is an internalized deadly paranoia about being seen as "left" in any way, then both their ferocity internally and their docility externally make perfect sense.

I think the simple answer is that the budget is about political survival (placate the markets and MPs) not some grand plan.

No doubt their hope is it works out! But … yeah

What I don’t get Alex is they bloody same people crushed internal Labour Party dissent… and they get into power with all that entails and it’s like “oh well sorry no can’t do anything really!”

Conference delegates with awkward motions were kicked out of the party!

A party in power at the start of austerity maybe wants you to forget that?

Hope it goes well!

You are replying to a UK politician on budget day fyi

As a believer in 2026 as the year of Linux on the desktop…

You do you Mr Monk.
