    The reality is there's no growth, no business confidence, no future while this government of utter incompetence are calling the shots. NONE.
    You don't half talk nonsense. You just sound bitter and twisted. Of course Brexit has had a big impact on things. If you don't think so then you obviously voted to leave and are deluded. And regarding Labour. For what it's worth I was a Tory voter all my life. Didn't vote for them after the Brexit fiasco or since. Highly unlikely I will ever vote for them again after the mess they have caused over the last 14 years. Which labour have to tidy up.

      Here we go again. I am all for adapting but when there are next to no roles to go round then then it is of limited impact.

      As for the government, the Conservatives were in for 14 years (including the coalition years) and Labour have been in for five months. I am not convinced matters have improved since July but it early days.

        The tories were not able to clean up the mess made by New labour the 13 years before that. No chance that this lot will clean up the 27 year old mess. The UK is in managed decline. High taxes and low growth is all we have to look forward to now.

            Spot on! Everything was just peachy before July, all those people who've now been on the bench 12 months were happily contracting and making loadsamoney.

            Oh.....hang on

              So despite having 3 terms, the Tories weren't competent enough to get the country back on an even keel? Is that what you're telling us?

                I'm not denying the market is currently dreadful, I even posted on some thread, probably this one, that it really doesn't matter if you're not the one on the bench.

                  What do you mean I don't even live here? The UK is my main home. I spend 'some' time abroad each year if that's what you mean?

                    Just had an interview for a very good rate.

                    No idea if I will get it and wouldn't start until the new year regardless but goes to prove you should keep going during December.
