Both parties spending the "getting people back into work" money. Labour are going to start jabbing the unemployed with ozempic apparently.

 

 

They won't get the likes of me back into work unless govt agencies start employing people with health issues

Watched a few clips on social media and seems that kemi destroyed generic. The quote that the first thing she would do in office as PM is reverse vat on private schools cold be good for labour election literature.

If they start to get some improvements in NHS and other public services as well as start to get the economy growing then I expect next election will be labour saying we're making progress don't let the tories come along and ruin everything like they did before.

Some big Ifs in there though.

Didn’t inflation come down this week? But no Sunak-style “the plan is working”.

yeah well Sunak could be using that if he had held off calling the election till November...but then they would have had to do another budget which i think in the end is why they went early...leave the sh*t show for Labour to deal with.

Latest is inheritance tax is going up...so awaiting why this would be a disaster for x, y and z from the telegraph and co.

also...apparently HS2 is back! (sort of)

First few weeks of November are going to be 🍿. Budget causes markets to go all Liz Truss and labour tear themselves apart, Tories pick one of two nutters to lead their party, and Trump wins bigly in US.
