Goodness gracious, Possums, our “fearless leader” has been thrown into yet another tizzy. Entirely of his own making, of course, but this time it’s serious. He’s punted the government pitch for stratospheric tax rises along with runaway spending in a curtain raiser for tomorrow’s budget.
As if it wasn’t bad enough witnessing ridicule and derision with his stuttering inability to define what a woman is/was, Two-Tier now finds himself completely at a loss to accurately describe what a working person is. Now, you would have thought that with all the election sizzle that Labour attempted to create around their crusade for “working people”, as they termed it, they might have given some indication of who and what they were on about.
But no, more word salad, more rhetoric, and, of course, predictably rounded off with “it’s all the Tories’ fault”. That record is wearing mighty thin now though as we approach the Two-Tier administration’s first budget. Enter stage right (or should that be left?) Rachel “I’m gonna nick yer cash” Reeves and we’re all set for a bumper display of pure hyperbolic cobblers.
The ghastly plot telegraphed yesterday foretold of the numerous budget sucker punches with which we are all about to be smacked is playing out like some grizzly Greek tragedy.
This bunch of Labour bovver boys are like a group of adolescent thugs let loose in a pub for the first time. They’re increasingly intoxicated with their seemingly unlimited power, followed by an insatiable desire to inflict the maximum amount of pain and discomfort on their victims.
And while they’re sticking the boot in, they blame their disgraceful behaviour on the Tories. You know, that 22 billion black hole thingy, but then a 40 billion black hole thingy was mentioned too. It all makes Two-Tier Pinocchio increasingly uncomfortable as his proboscis alarmingly elongates.
So, what was the highlight of the spectacle delivered with such vigour in Birmingham yesterday? Well, that’s easy. More gaslighting and Labour propaganda in crafting a distorted narrative to justify reverting to their usual habit of tax and spend, and you’ll love this one, vociferously taking pride in it.
Interestingly though, Birmingham provided a symbolically significant venue for Two-Tier to pontificate. It seems his newly discovered preaching wont blended perfectly against a prominently displayed backdrop emblazoned with “Fixing the Foundations”.
I am sure Birmingham City Council will be greatly appreciative for any financial management advice the PM might care to give since they have successfully bankrupted themselves under successive Labour administrations. And let’s not forget the collapse of the health service in Wales either, courtesy of such able Labour stewardship. How’s that for a fiscally responsible demonstration of good performance with the public finances?
Rachel Reeves is due to raise the minimum wage by more than triple the rate of inflation which will effectively add another six billion quid in costs to employers. That, in addition to a rise in NI contributions from employers (only private sector apparently), pension tax raids, plus a whole host of other vindictive nasties due tomorrow. How do we know this?
Well, Ms Reeves was apparently less than discreet in Washington the other day whilst attending the annual IMF and World Bank gathering.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Possums. Sir Lindsay Hoyle is apparently mightily peeved at our Artful Dodger Chancellor. Mr Speaker’s statement reads as follows….“The premature disclosure of the contents of the Budget has always been regarded as a supreme discourtesy to the House; indeed, I still regard it as such. I am very, very disappointed that the Chancellor expects the House to wait nearly a full week to hear a repeat of these announcements in the Budget statement on Wednesday.
“It is totally unacceptable to go around the world telling everybody rather than these members… they deserve to be treated better. Isn’t it funny that when it was the previous party, it was the opposite side that was complaining to me. Get your acts together, all sides, treat members with respect. Honourable members may be wondering how they’ll get a seat on Wednesday [for the Budget] – to be quite honest, the way it’s going you won’t need to, we’ll all have heard it. It’s not acceptable, I don’t want it to continue, and I want to treat this House with the respect it deserves.”
When asked to comment about the Speaker’s criticism, the PM’s spokesman said: “I can point you to previous precedent of when the government has made pre-Budget announcements. That’s entirely routine. Obviously, we will continue to work with Parliament to ensure that these measures are also announced to Parliament in the usual way. The Chancellor will provide full details on Wednesday, and then there’ll be ample time for parliamentarians to scrutinise and debate those measures.”
No contrition, just sanctimoniously doubling down on the appalling arrogance and disdain now habitually originating with Two-Tier himself. Well, be honest, you thought the same as I did, didn’t you?
All this talk of what the Chancellor intends to pinch, cut, and dole out paints one very sombre picture. It also makes your head spin when bamboozled with a load of techno babble that is impossible for most people to understand. Consider this. Labour maintains it is the party of business; it is focused on placing the UK economy onto a sustainable growth path in which we are all supposed to magically benefit.
We have inflation busting public sector pay rises, which don’t account for the increased cost of inflation linked pensions; we have a new worker’s charter signalling a return to the industrial ravages of the 1970’s; we have a systemic breakdown in basic law and order with early release prisoners posing for photos in front of their expensive cars taking the bleep.
The list goes on painting a sordid picture of a society turned upside down to promote the interests of those who least deserve it at the expense of people who genuinely work hard and positively contribute to maintaining our economic viability. Who in their right mind would support or even encourage this?
The effects of what is to be unleashed tomorrow won’t impact immediately, but they will do so soon enough. The prospects for the next four plus years are ominous if these events provide any kind of indication.
Re-building Britain, Prime Minister? You’re doing nothing of the kind. Your actions, if left unchecked, will lay waste to this country and bequeath a legacy of economic devastation too ghastly to contemplate.
