    It would be wonderful to see the Iranian and Russian regimes fall this year or next, and be replaced with something more democratic.

    Just catching up with some of the mini-budget ****e that happened last week. I'm no fan of the Tory ****ers, but this has made me happy!

    Spent the last few years using every tool possible to circumnavigate the IR35 nightmare, and now the ****s have scrapped it!

    The booing was sarcastic. It’s a good thing from our previously UKIP government.

    Maybe they can go after those shorting the pound with links to the Chancellor next.

    He'll be on the front line in two weeks.

    Zelensky has said that Ukraine will treat all deserters with "civillity", and offer them asylum after the war is finished. Those who are captured will be tried for war crimes. Deserters caught by Russian forces will face 10 years in a gulag - some choice, eh?

    Nice soundbites. For political simpletons. Last I heard we were living in the UK not the USA. What is the purpose of any tax cuts save to win an election? She and her new Chancellor may be absolutely spot on with the populist sound bite that it will kick start growth but I've yet to see any views from any economist that trickle down economics works. For her sake (and therefore ours) it had better.

    If they shout “growth” enough then ****ing plebs in the shires will buy it. Either that or the plan is to trash the economy (while their mates bet on it) and pillage it to the point Labour are left with as big a mess as possible with no chance of fixing it in a five year term.

    It's daylight robbery, a straight forward asset strip with no attempt to even hide it; not that their enablers in the client press will draw attention to it. There's no other explanation, Truss and Khazi Fartpants are blatantly bought and paid for by Hedge Fund managers and shady right wing 'Think Tanks'.

    You mean, leave a note that there's no money left?

    Turns out there was loads left. You just have to borrow it and siphon it off to your donors while convincing fascists and serfs that Labour are economically illiterate while their living standards decline.
