    I voted remain at the time . However , if there was a vote to rejoin , I’d vote against it. The EU is a mess.

    However , I would now vote for a Norway type situation ie member of EEA. That should have been an option in referendum.

    Full Remain
    Retain EEA membership
    A full get the **** out

    Jeremy Hunt’s Autumn Statement was a complete waste of time, as expected, with a few small tweaks to taxes to give the impression of taxes cuts whilst failing to address the real problems. It would have been no better had Rachel Reeves been giving her Statement as she has no plan that she dares to mention when questioned.

    Does anyone remember Hunt mentioning any measures to cut the size of the State? That huge waste of taxpayers’ money, the civil servants that cannot even be bothered to show up to the office these days, needs to be culled. The numbers have ballooned in recent years, especially as Boris failed to carry out his stated reduction of the head count and instead took on more – the civil service head count up 69,000 since 2019. The public sector is a zero productivity environment.

    The national debt as a percentage of GDP has now gone over 100 per cent. There are only two ways to reduce it: higher taxes or reduced spending. Labour will definitely resort to the former as they destroy the economy and it seems the only difference with the Conservatives is that they will do neither so we will float down into the economic abyss on a parachute.

    In the world of Proportional Representation (PR) it is unlikely that the far Right are going to form any sort of workable coalition in the Netherlands. That is the great thing about PR – it leads to a vacuum in power as nobody can ever get anything radical done. Look at Italy – the average lifetime of an Italian government since WWII is just over a year and the country is an economic disaster thanks to Euro membership.

    It does amuse me when Marxist/Labour types mention economics.

    Labour will just blow money like Sadiq in London & Birmingham the banana Republic of councils.

    Economics is certain to be high on the list of things you know absolutely **** all about. You probably believe the right wing media nonsense about the Tories being a 'safe pair of hands' for the economy, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

    Different versions of PR have different results .

    The Dutch and Belgian versions are successful.

    Others , not so much

    I don't think any **** has a bastarding clue about economics, even actual economists.

    Be better off asking what Mystic Meg and her crystal ball says <ok>

    Tory’s hate us & punish the poor , Labour offer unlimited free stuff to anyone that will vote for them especially people that haven't moved here yet & expect the rich to pay 90% tax .

    It's pretty simple like you

    We all fondly remember the 90% marginal tax rates of Blair and Brown.

    Ah, the type that Nigel Farage and Peter Hitchens advocated during the referendum? (And Hitchens still does, tbh - Nigel changed his mind when his Tufton St associates illuminated him on how much could be made in vulture capitalism).

    Do you believe that remaining in the EUROPEAN UNION & offering freedom of movement for anyone holding an EUROPEAN UNION identification would reduce immigration ?

    Derpster logic.

    Immigration is so high because both parties hate the indigenous people.

    You for example have no issues with unlimited immigration there are no caps on numbers.

    All refugees are welcome forever

    The writer also contributed to 'The Mash Report' which is spectacularly unfunny so that's me out...
