Private sector is already in a recession. Cutting public sector AND raising taxes is going to send the economy into a steep dive.
Seems like an educated lady with a strong set of leftie principles. Very commendable, yet not someone who should be let anywhere near to running an economy.
Personally, I am putting aside everything I can, because I know I am going to need it to get through the next few years.Comment

In effect she's giving away £1bn per day in office so far. Still, I suppose that a lot easier than trying to negotiate something more reasonable with her paymasters. Or perhaps even explaining Labour's fully costed plans
We're already being lied to in a far more serious way than Boris and pals managed. It doesn't look good for the future.Blog? What blog...?Comment

Gulp.
How do we feel about this? Any predictions? Yes, I'm scared.You're awesome! Get yourself a t-shirt.Comment

Ms Reeves is eminently qualified for the role (then again, so was Gordon Brown...) but her agenda is the problem. It seems we need to suffer a range of tax increases to pay for public sector pay rises that weren't in the manifesto (nor in the Tories' plans and hence not in the Treasury/OBR reporting on which she based her planning), hence the instant black hole.

Or how to piss off the Italians, Japanese and possibly other European partners with but the stroke of one pen...(Or in Rachel Reeves' case a fat red crayon!)Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment
