Ill await the detail….not from The Sun obviously. Sounds like he’s chucking a few quid around. The reduction in UC taper makes sense, should’ve been sorted ages ago

Got to love the chutzpah of the Tory spin machine

*raises tax take to highest since the war*

“Hey guys this means well be able to cut taxes soon!”

*cuts every departmental budget, then put then back to below where they started*

“We’re raising departmental budgets!!”


Not just pissing on you and telling you it’s raining, but asking you to be grateful for the free shower.

Yep!

I saw something online which mocked the speech as every announcement was accompanied by 'this is the biggest increase in funding for a decade'. So all they're doing is admitting they've done fuck all for the last ten years

One of the BBC reporters, not sure who I missed the beginning and didn't recognise the voice, said on the radio that this is the result of campaigning in the last election. Seems people will quite happily dismiss failings of recent Conservative governments with the promise of changes from a 'new' Conservative government.

In PMQs Johnson took credit for cutting CO2 in half since 1990, so he’s simultaneously taking credit for New Labour and Tory govts while pretending he’s a brand new govt.

I don’t think most care TBH. The expenses scandal put “they’re all as bad as each other” into the public consciousness and all it did was make them let off anyone instead of demanding higher standards.

We've recruited 11k 'extra' police officers - though we're still 30k officers and support staff lower than when we came to office in 2010.

Sadly it is a reflection of a big chunk of our society.

Also this is not the football section of the forum.
