The joke is that Labour can clearly see where they could save tens of billions of pounds such as being ruthless with Welfare payments and just ensuring that the most needy are actually looked after, which is what it was designed to do, not give out freebies to those who are a little anxious occasionally (which is part of being human, not a medical condition that deserves being paid for) but the backbenchers, all who are in fear of their own positions at the next election, won't allow it.
Catch 22

 

the OBR is like the "overseer" of the countries wealth health.
A consortium of extremely clever financial brains, if you had a ladder with 20 rungs on it ... no say 50 rungs on it [ more realistic! ] then Rattlesnake Rach from accounts would be on rung 2 and the least brainy of the financial whizzers would be on rung 45!
We are destined for a melt down, my finger is hovering over the button to sell my ISA and turn into Cash the moment there is breath of suspicion another "covid type thing" comes along.

Remember "the tories had righted the ship come 2020 we were in the black and had money to invest in the future" Covid and the energy crisis blew that to smithereens and the tories took flack generated by a opposition that had no plans except negativity.. the media needed to generate negative news to sell its wares and then 8 million mostly tory voters didnt!

 

‘Where has all the water gone?’ Hosepipe ban comes into force for millions asking such a Q is a sign of naietivity [article from the metro ]

we have now got the equivalent of a city as big a Liverpool artificially having increased our population [ did a post some yonks ago on what was needed for just a city the size of Norwich/ Ipswich ] well that's where the water has gone ..... around 6 million people extra in the population that roots go back no more than 2/ 3 decades. we need a further 6 chew valley lakes in catchment areas that will collect water .. and that is only just a start.

not many people are in know with water management ... like why are so many sewage disposal works close to rivers? or near coasts! clue is most rivers flow into the sea! so water keeps sea levels up... lol

 

Some areas of Kent such as Whitstable have been without water from a domestic tap for 5 days recently !

 

they are on chalk and the aquifers are quite deep plus they bear the brunt of the illegals....... and drinking water although easier to prepare it is in short supply... as the population is greater than the supply..............

if a group was formed to greet the border force boats and not just a few at docks but a couple 000's showing that the general populations attitude is "we dont want you" with banners and peaceful chants then a few might get the picture but hopefully moreso our sham of a .gov.

there is currently 2 political leaders of leaders of 2 main line countries totally having the pi$£ TAKEN OUT OF THEM and ignoring it one is currently the European mass murderer of EUROPE! WHOM IT IS RUMOURED has to start watching his back a bit more as more dissent is accumulating behind his back

 

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has called the economy's recent performance "disappointing" after figures showed it shrank unexpectedly in May.

The economy contracted by 0.1%, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said, after also shrinking in April.
The fall in economic output, which confounded analysts who had expected to see slight growth, was mainly driven by a drop in manufacturing, the ONS said, while retail sales were "very weak".
The weaker than expected figure adds pressure on the government which has made boosting economic growth a key priority.

The government has put a lot of emphasis on the UK being the fastest growing economy in the major G7 countries, with 0.7% growth in the first three months of the year outpacing that of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the US. .................... HOWEVER this was a completely false set of figures because ............
During this period growth was boosted by exports as manufacturers raced to beat higher US import taxes, and as homebuyers rushed to complete purchases before the expiry of the stamp duty tax break.
But Friday's figures show that this first-quarter boost will be rather short-lived. and! note, would likely never have been had it not been for Donald's Tariff threats and the stamp duty expirations.

the present UK .gov is all................................

......................S M O K E & M I R R O R S .............

It takes the whole [ well most ] of the UK population as dimwits.......amazing how the figures get released the day after PMQ'S WHEN NEGATIVE A but on the day or day before when is seemingly positive!!

 

WELL the first week of year 2 and starts much like year 1 bad news really with economy [ bearing in mind that Labour claim the first 3 month's after July 4th 2024 is now of their doing! ] if take away the first 3 month's of their tenure decreasing interest rates/ decreasing inflation/ growing economy and start their year in October [ fiscal drag ] their record to purport is "fantastic" it is actually very poor down hill slide all the things 2 TIER NOT EVER HERE GRANNY HARMER shouts on about in PMQ's are not growth or better for the .gov purse and certainly the 4,000,0000 appointments is par for any NHS when compared to what should be doing done after the LAST.GOV had provided the funding and starting the NHS REVAMP ............ WHERE did the so called extra appointments come from ............. THE RESIDUE OF THE MULTI NHS DEPARTMENT STRIKES OF EARLY 2024 ........

so 1 week in and already close to 1000 known to have crossed the channel I say KNOWN as 100's make it which they do not report on the small boat crossing page! so thats the first £1.2 m [ £1,200,000 ] the "we are are not scrouger tax payers have to fork out

 

Granny Harmers first week of the second year 1243 crossed and another 5000 estimated to waiting around the coastline of some 100 miles ................
LAST YEAR THE AVERAGE WAS AROUND 850!
COST LAST YEAR without all the extra's like maintenance and wages fuel etc cost the BRITISH LEGAL WAGE EARNER around almost £3,000,000,000 although pensioners paid £1,200,000,000 + of that!!!

 

GETTING RATHER BUSY around the euro/ukr border! Ukr getting armament boost ... mainly defensive but also some replacement items to afford "attack" status..... talk was 6 patriot systems ... but who knows what trump will say around 1500 to 1600 hrs today!!!! It seems the UK MAY BE DONATING ONE? what happens is UK buys it and sends it to UKR part of our "UKR ARMS SUPPORT"

 

Ukraine getting US armaments which Trump says they will owe the US for
I wonder whether we are charging Ukraine for our support and weapons ?

More than 75,000 claimants who are in the UK temporarily and would typically not be able to receive benefits are also claiming UC. The BBC has asked the Department for Work and Pensions for more information.
The government produced figures, external going back to April 2022. In that time, the proportion of claimants who were born overseas has remained broadly level at between 15% and 17%.
During the same period, the total number of people on UC rose from 5.5m to 7.9m.
The figures were published, external following pressure from some Conservatives and the independent MP Rupert Lowe.

WELL HOW BIG A CARROT IS THAT ................... Not only get to earn £100 [ per day ] on underground food and other deliveries but can / do claim UC [ UNIVERSAL CREDIT ] ... 75,000 x £90 pw [ arbitary ] x 52 = around £400,000,000 add that to the usual cost of 75,000 = over £5,000,000,000 add to rest of thems bill and is over £10,000,000,000+

!2tier aint got a clue Granny Harmer" and the rest of his cronies are gradually being washed out of the cracks they are so intent to divert from ! ............ STARTING OFF WITH A FICTITOUS £22M BLACKHOLE was a ploy to give them some leeway ......... well one year down and thats a half of it!

 

The multi-million pound project was first revealed back in early April and saw Bristol City’s community charity secure the future of the Filwood Playing Fields in a deal with national charity Fields In Trust and local football side Mendip Broadwalk FC.

Now, the Robins Foundation is to host a drop in session for local people to find out more about their plans with Mendip Broadwalk, ahead of a formal planning application being submitted later this year.
The plans are part of a wider Filwood regeneration project, boosted by £14 million from the previous Government’s Levelling Up programme.
People who live in Filwood and the wider Knowle West are being invited to the current pavilion tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon and evening to find out plans for a replacement one, along with a huge investment to create new sports facilities there.

“This engagement is an important part of the planning application process and gives local residents, community groups, and stakeholders the opportunity to view proposals, ask questions, and share feedback on the vision for Filwood,” said a Robins Foundation spokesperson.

wonder how long 2 TIER will take to claim this project started over 2 years ago! And already part funded by the last .GOV

 

Prices rose by more than expected in the year to June, pushing inflation to 3.6%, the highest it has been since January 2024.

Higher prices for food and clothing, air and rail fares - and a lower drop in fuel prices than this time last year - contributed to higher inflation, official figures show.
The rate at which prices increase matters to shoppers, whose money doesn't go as far if goods and services are becoming rapidly more expensive.
Inflation remains much higher than the Bank of England's target rate of 2%, but a cut in the cost of borrowing is still expected at next month's rate-setting meeting.

they stand at the dispatch box CLAIMING rate cuts to 4 BOE interest cuts [ remember there is a few months carry over so they havent actually been in power for 2 ? of them ] claiming to be so much better than previous .GOV and now they have, with no covid ... no energy crisis ... lost control of the quarterly reduction of inflation from 2% downward spiral to a 3.6% upward spiral and hey ho the figures released today on PMQ'S DAY ................

I wonder what it would take for 1 of them to resign? 2 tier and his entourage of 3 ladies in waiting that is !

 

With an inept Prime Minister and a fiscally naive Chancellor with a doctored CV, it’s not exactly surprising
We can just sit back and luxuriate in more borrowing, taxing of pensions of those who actually work(ed) for a living and an ever increasing national debt
When reason and firm/decisive action and a bid for growth could stop a huge amount of unnecessary spending and borrowing
As usual, they’ll hit the white taxpayer in the wallet while the rest of the world and the lazy holiday here, permanently, at our expense

 

P M Q 's
KB head of OBR stated higher taxes are bad for the economy DOES HE AGREE!
2 TIER ................. ANSWER .. whats bad 14 years ... 22bn .. etc
KB modest income who are they?
2 tier people who work hard given living wage child care school meals CREATED 380,000 JOBS
KB .. HOW DOES GET 380 JOBS WHEN UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES HAVE GONE UP every month since labour took office
KB taxing pension contributions
2 teir no answer .. brought in nhs 2miilion v 4 million school meals [ again ] rail services road works ..........
KB also stated the facts of 3.6% inflation from 2% when he took over .. no real answer except usual stock replies

2 TIER WHEN HE HAS BEEN WOUNDED starts reply or during it half turns to his back benchers looking for assurance RACHEL can never play poker when Kb DELIVERS A HOME TRUTH HER FACE IS LIKED A BABOON WITH A SLAPPED A$$

 

In PMQ's 2TIER Never HEAR Granny Harmer stated twice second time VERY emphatically we have created 380,000 jobs so if that is so WHY?????

??? ->->-> The UK jobs market has continued to weaken, making the prospect of an interest rate cut next month even more likely, analysts say.
The annual rate of pay growth in the three months between March and May slowed to 5%, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The unemployment rate has risen to 4.7%, its highest in four years, while the number of job vacancies has now been falling continuously for three years.
The government said "we need to go further" to improve the economy, while the Conservatives said the unemployment rise was a "disgrace".

Bank of England may be forced to lower interest rates,not because Liebour is doing something right but to steady the ship due to the above! to help people with a dwindling income DUE TO TAX RISES [ remember they said wouldt tax joe public] lack of jobs............. uuuum where is the 380,000 ? take into account all the scroungers on welfare [ not deserving ones ] and that makes for an even bigger out of work and a disaster waiting to happen ............... well actually already is when BOE has do something not in line with it 's fiscal rules....................
