Warlord Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Sunak's answer to everything is " we will decide in the Autumn" Typical lying politician trying to kick the can . He also talks a lot in platitudes: "levelling up" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byron78 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Well that was a waste of everybody's time. A man with Shredded Wheat on his head asking the millionaire heir to outsourcing billions (or hundreds of thousands of old British jobs now relocated to India) a bunch of unanswered questions.

Locke Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 "Squirming"? Politicians don't care, at all. It's all kabuki theatre. You're being taken in by a spectator sport, but unlike sportsball, people's livelihoods and lives are on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggus Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 He sounds like a Labour chancellor. I don't see the budget being balanced any time soon. Interest rates will remain low to keep borrowing low for the oversized, juggernaught state. The public will pays with higher living costs.

Anyone who still thinks ours is the party of economic competence wants their heads read. Voting Labour for the first time in my life if I'm still here come 2025. This lot need clearing out for the greater good long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
