In addition to everything Chaminda says, the added cherry on the terrible cake is the OBR has *never* been right about what will save money when it comes to welfare!
Last-minute spreadsheet wars between the Treasury and the OBR are ludicrous way to run a country, a ludicrous way to run an economy, a ludicrous way to fund public services and a ludicrous way to run the welfare system www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The radicalisation of much of the right in Britain far exceeds that of the left under Corbyn. (I say that as a staunch critic of Corbyn).
It's essential that decent Conservatives speak out, if they don't want the likes of Cummings, Oakeshott and Jenrick to prostitute their tradition to an arsonist.

Nothing sums up the absurdity of this football club quite like the sight of an 18-year-old midfielder playing out of position at centreback having to talk a 36-year-old ex-international goalkeeper through a total headloss.

The more the wealth of these people go, the less any democratic politics can thrive
It's pretty obvious and the complicity of most of the mainstream elite shows that democracy was really always optional in this system

Elon is now the richest person who has ever lived, even more than plutocrats who have plundered entire countries or the leaders of immense empires. This level of obscene wealth should not be tolerated.

It’s possibly the most Spurs thing ever that during a period where we’ve basically achieved nothing we’ve consistently spanked the greatest side in Premier League history.
