How much do all these ‘investigations’ cost the American people (I assume they are the ones picking up the bill)

How many people really care about these little side shows ? I, and most of my friends just looked at the bottom line - how it affected us as individuals.
I would suggest that the eyes of the majority of Brits simply glazed over with disinterest at pre/post budget analysis.

Far more fun to not strain your voice when ordering your drink/food.
Try it sometime. Order your stuff, then when they express difficulty in hearing you. Shrug your shoulders in despair and walk away.

When Reeves attempted to balance Welfare in the last budget she was met with hostile nonconstructive angst. Watching Question Time on BBC this week I was amazed by politicians et al telling us the Govt needs to get a grip and cut welfare. Criticism should be balanced with praise. Not sound bites.

Indeed my friend. But that’s good news isn't it ? So does anyone really expect that to get fair coverage in the media ?

The crazy thing about all this is that it’s putting the spotlight back on Trump. And it’s going to be negative.

You are right. But can’t it be said of most political parties ‘manifesto’ (which if I’m correct is more of an intention than actual commitment)
Yes. The increasingly dark days are depressing :-)
And the rain here in Wales - no wonder we have so many reservoirs 😀

True. And I do hope that Reform will not jump on the bandwagon of those critical of Reeves attempt at honesty. After the u-turns that Reform are making after highly speculative promises.
