The Greatest Bugdet Ever.

[nicebloke1]

Absolutly bang on budget getting every aspect of it right in every possible way and very well thought out.

Hospitals, schools and carers, have been crying out for some proper action for 14 years. Well done labour, the only way is up now for this country with a solid foundation set in place. The cons have been shown how it should be done. Again well done SK.

There's none so blind etc.

To be fair, the niceblokes of the world who are far left would have lauded the budget even if one of the announcements was to evict all pensioners from their assisted housing.

 

The far left never have the integrity to admit when a far left Govt get it wrong. It's just simply not in their DNA.

1p off a pint.

Brewery has increased costs due to wage increases and NI costs, price of pint goes up by 5p and pubs and breweries get rid of staff they can't afford.

Reeves....good with figures but can't add up

So nicebloke1 was the guy outside our local bus station with the newspaper stand,i wondered what happened to you.

[TwoShortPlanks]

My heart is broken for all the farming families that are going to be devestated by the changes to inheritance tax. A farm may be worth £2m, but only if it's sold. Inheriting a farm isn't a windfall. It's a huge commitment (some say burden). 

Farms are struggling enough. This will be the end of a lot of farming families.

Britain is heading for oblivion, ruined by Labour’s greed, malice and stupidity

Reeves has condemned the country to penury, thanks to her obsession with punitive taxes and higher spending.

//The Greatest Bugdet Ever.// ?????

Do they mean Us ? 

Nicebloke1 - did you forget your meds ?

[THECORBYLOON]

KHANDRO, there's no need for the personal attacks. 

[Spungle]

What's a Bugdet?

[davebro3]

what's a BUGDET - something an insect owes?🤣

[newmodarmy]

Maybe it was meant to be BIGDET.

To be fair, the typo was acknowledged and corrected.

[youngmafbog]

Jesus, the nativity of some is astounding, something to behold 🙄

I strongly suspect nicebloke is a wind up account, no-one could be that blank.

[davebro3]

Jesus did have something to do with nativity 🤣

nicebloke is not "far left" lol. you people have no idea what "the left" is. 
 

reeves shamefully kept the tories' murderous reform to working capability assessments which is predicted to see lots of disabled people lose access to the support they need. a terrible decision and an indefensible one. 

the investment in schools and the health service is much needed but it will be swallowed up quite quickly... i suspect it will be enough to stop further decline but not enough to deliver actual improvements. unfortunate that train tickets will be more expensive but probably bearable... i think people are making a massive stink over the NI contributions.

Not even 6th form economics, more like Junior school tuck shop economics.

The ENI hike is just going to destroy jobs. Employers will cut staff and or cancel hireng them. Wage rises will be resisted.

In the end the consumer pays. But Tuck shop Tealeaf can't see it.

Bit of a turkey shoot for Rishi but what a brutal demolision job he did. TST (Tuck Shop Tealeaf) was writhing! Even GOAS looked embarrassed for her.

[nicebloke1]

The tears roll down my face for the likes of Costa and McDonalds having to now pay for their staff opposed to the government filling their wallets.

Lets face most have their knickers in a twist because they've not lost their WFA, they've lost their CBA, the latter being their Christmas Booze Allowance. 

[naomi24]

Nicebloke, all of that has to be paid for - and ultimately the people paying for it will be the workers in lost jobs and the customers - most of whom are the workers Labour promised to protect for increased taxes.  What is it you don't understand about that?

[gramps85]

nicebloke.  Come back in a few months time when some workers would have lost their jobs, some struggling to pay their mortgage because of higher interest rates.  When this has happened, as it surely will, then come back and continue your gloats about Starmer and Reeves being good for this country.

"the investment in ....the health service is much needed"

The NHS will consume as much money as is thrown at it. It would consume the country's entire GDP given the chance. It does not need more money. It is awash with money and staff. What it needs is for some of its multitudinous managers to get off their backsides and take a roam around the establishments they allegedly manage. The service is awash with people doing next to nothing, it is rife with duplication and unnecessary bureaucracy and it is obsessed with gender-identity politics to such a degree that, in places, it is becoming unable to properly function because of that obsession. Meanwhile those people who are providing front-line medical care are rushed off their feet.

In the five years to this year, the waiting lists for treatment have increased from around 4.5m to almost 8m. In that five years the numbers of doctors and nurses have both increased by more than 25%. No large organisation would be prepared to see such an increase in its staffing levels whilst the outcomes for its customers deteriorated to such a degree. The NHS is struggling not because of lack of funds or staff, but because it is not being managed properly. 

[davebro3]

NHS "experts" are already saying the extra funding will only maintain the existing level of service & not produce any improvement. It will be spent on staff pay rises & increased "care" costs.
