Javid resigns

[jamesbrown]

Ahaha great, he eqs totally out of his depth, hopefully now lower taxes in the budget

I think you misunderstand.

The direction of travel is the exact opposite of that.

Javid was comparatively Thatcherite. Broadly, he was against massive spending because he didn't want massive tax rises or borrowing. Increased day-to-day spending isn't going to be coming from borrowing, so...

Rumour has it that Sajid Javid has been "making the beast with two backs" with Philip Schofield...

Probably.

Possibly.

Allegedly.

The problem is that number 10 has big spending plans. Number 11 was more limiting in this aspect, trying to keep a control on costs. With more expenditure comes more need for tax revenue, or greater borrowing. We don't know which way it will go yet.

Borrowing for infrastructure/investment but, for day to day spending, borrowing.

I eagerly await the scandal headlines linking him to Jeffrey Epstein..

Nigel Farage (who has never been elected under his own name)


Dominic Cummings (ditto)

I've been saying for years that the UK is just as corrupt as any banana republic, but it's done more covertly through secret societies etc.

Hia replacement is son-in-law of infosys chairman narayan murthy.
So there will be a temptation for new chancellor to implement ir35 in strongest possible manner

[cooljsn]

Not sure whether this is good or bad.
Rishi is son-in-law of Infosys chairman Narayanmurthy

There is an obvious temptation for him to implement ir35 in strongest possible manner

Oh **** off. Seriously.

What happened John? Did you get blackballed?

If Rishi Sunak becomes Chancellor, expect Infosys to be given a blank cheque to ship in thousands of offshore resources. End of IT industry for all UK guys.

Indeed. Contracting is now dead. Permanent to follow very soon.
