The Budget...gone A Bit Quiet In Lefty Land.
Sunak is wiping the floor with Reeves and her attempt at a budget. Oh dear!

some of what was said about transport in the budget speech was a little misleading. the chancellor mentioned 3 specific schemes that they would be funding on the Trans-Pennine upgrade; 2 of them (York to Church Fenton and Manchester to Stalybridge) are already complete, and the 3rd (Bradford Forster Square) is almost complete.
the bit about HS2 also wasn't what it appeared. the chancellor announced that funding to dig the tunnels from Old Oak Common to Euston would be found. well the project has pretty much got to do that anyway as it's the most practical way of getting the boring machines out and away. what wasn't spoken of is Euston Station, and I'm willing to bet that won't happen, leaving the existing station blighted by a zombie building site and chronic congestion.
Here's the best news of the budget

A fundamental problem we have is that pretty much all of the front bench have only ever suckled from the public money teat, so they have not the first clue of what generates money.
It's going to be a bumpy ride with these clowns, and there's a number of ideologists on this site who just don't possess the ability to see it.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Sunak wiping the floor? Sunak had his chance to wipe the floor in the GE, he couldn't wipe his nose without help.
All talk and no trousers, what you saw today was Sunak losing his rag, because labour had to show him how to produce a brilliant budget that will put this country back on its feet. The cons had 14 years to do the same but failed time and time again, not only failed but failed with 3 x PMs. Now thats one hell of a fail, don't you think.
The only area they didn't fail was in filling their own wallets.
In only a few months KS has fired back up the boilers to get this country steaming back on track.
I don't agree with gramps85 @ 16.44.
The Tories lost the election because their own supporters deserted them, en masse. That's not quite the same as saying people fell for Starmer's lies. It was an extraordinary result for Labour, and yes, Starmer did say they wouldn't increase taxes for ordinary people, but that wasn't why Labour won so convincingly. I've seen comments from people saying they're sorry they voted for Labour, but that wasn't the clincher. The clincher was Tory voters switching to Reform, Lib Dem, and others.
