Unbelievable. Well , not. Morpeth to Ellingham a1 widening- 2014 Cameron and Osborne come to Northumberland to score browny pre election points- “ we have put the £293m for this aside , so go ahead “ Feb 2024 , finally given go ahead to start work and to be “ financed from HS2 savings” Local MP , who swooned over Cameron’s kindness , now swooning over Rishi’s kindness instead of asking what happened to that £293 m
The OBR projects economic output to expand by 1.9% in 2025 and by 2.0% in 2026, Hunt said as he gave his budget statement speech to parliament. Those forecasts were slightly stronger than the OBR's previous expectations for growth of 1.4% and 2.0% in 2025 and 2026 The UK will be Europe’s best-performing major economy in the next 15 years, narrowing the gap with Germany and extending its lead over France, according to new long-run forecasts. As much as I know they need booted out, to imply Hunt hasn’t done a decent job with the economy after the **** that he’s followed is just plain wrong. It’s now up to Labour to carry on the good work and strong position he’s leaving them in and not fcuk it up this time.
Penny Mordaunt OG in the Commons yesterday, happily defending throwing away £15,000 of taxpayers money. She praised Michelle Donelan for 'honourably' refusing a redundancy windfall despite only having the job for two days and doing no actual work. Both of these things show a callous disregard for our money especially on a day when we're being told the NHS is a black hole ... ... ffs, this government is the Bermuda Triangle for money.
I agree, he has done a good job. Like you say though he had a low bar to improve from. The medium term prospects look good. I like Rachel Reeves as the next chancellor, she seems very smart, so hopeful she can really cement our economy, we certainly need to! She could start by giving my local council a few quid to fix the pothole I hit this morning - like a bloody moon crater. £235 quid for a tyre and the guy in the garage said they have never ever seen so much business and all down to potholes.
A Minister who's the head of the country's education standards says she'd have punched Ofsted inspectors if she'd encountered them at a school in her constituency. This is at a time when children are bullying and killing each other while others commit suicide after being subjected to violence at school ... ... it's just typical of the slack language and shoddy example our government. Very poor.
Offsted are not fit for purpose. Keegans language may be poor in your opinion but for me is calling out a fundamental issue undermining school staff. I have seen some of the impact of offsted in person and they are so are very out of touch and a massive problem in school culture.
Keegan is an egotistical gobshite but she’s right about Ofsted. It’s an elitist load of bollocks. Schools should be nurtured and supported , developed with support, not hung out to dry.
Councils have no money because this government ripped out preventative services and now the justice, health and social care bill has rocketed. Yet they think they are good accountants. Let things collapse and they need fixing.
Ofsted are disgraceful mate, no question. Keegans use of the threat of violence, for a cheap laugh, is appalling. She's a top Minister ffs.
A top Tory donor's alleged comments that Diane Abbott made him "want to hate all black women" were not "race-based", a senior minister has said. While you or I would be deemed racist and cuffed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68542621
Vote on the response and win a fabulous prize. A "My comments have been taken completely out of context!" B "It's unfortunate if anyone feels offended by what were quite innocent words." C "If people can't handle a little harmless banter they shouldn't be in politics." There's been recent murders of MPs and this lunatic says another should be shot ... ... these aren't alleged comments, he was recorded.
Good response from Abbott, the scum tories need to hold their heads in shame... better still, just shut the f up
