"and even with public services “on their knees” the UK cant “tax its way to better public services”"

Teachers are suspended on the spot as are doctors, nurses and so many more....... but MP's? Nah, let them carry on

 

MPs accused of a violent or sexual offence would only be banned from Parliament if charged by police, under revised plans.

A vote on the proposed ban had been due earlier this month, but was delayed.""

Inflation down to 3.4%. Good work Rishi.

[steviewevie]

Expectation is inflation will drop below 2% in April...and then Bank of England might start cutting interest rates a bit.
