She seems on borrowed time. Streeting having a bit of a snipe last week intimating she’s holding back reforms, Starmer giving her the dreaded vote of confidence. Mind you, Starmer’s a stubborn git do may well stick with her above the priority of getting things moving with the economy/public services, etc.
Rich farmers inheritance tax was one thing they went after her for. Seems it only affected a small number of farmers who have taken legal advice and have created companies where they are the major shareholder. Companies don't pay inheritance tax but they do pay other taxes for running a business.
VAT on private schools was another. Journos at right-wing national newspapers earn enough to put their kids through public schools which is why they won't let that go.
Joe Public will always moan and have always moaned about the cost of living which leapt under the Tories. Prices only come down temporarily when there's a promotional product push for market share, so we're stuck with the current shopping bill.
The Tory alternative is Mel Stride who still believes in trickle down economics.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

And the left wingers. Same as usual for this version of Labour - too neoliberal for the socialists and not neoliberal enough for the right. Starmer’s managed being stuck between the two quite well so far, so he may just ignore all the noise like he normally does. Who knows - certainly not me!

i take it you're not aware of the current plummeting value of the pound and 18 year high borrowing rates?

Since her budget the cost of servicing our debt has rocketed. The German economy has massive problems yet they are still above to borrow at 4 times less interest than we are. The OBR forecast in March expected to force her to break a manifesto pledge and put up taxes as she will break her fiscal rules.
None of the above has anything to do with the right wing press. She is out of her depth.
I couldn't help but laugh this morning when someone interviewed on the Today Programme mentioned that Rachel Reeves trip to China had opened up various agricultural markets including those relating to pork.
It gives me an excuse to post this which I never tire of.
Its like the Sunday Sport without the 'evidence' for Elvis on Mars
I was just impressed with the reports that Starmers says Britain is going to lead the world in artificial insemination. Haven't read the whole article yet to find out how they're planning to do it.

The pound has maintained its value against the Euro which has itself fallen to a similar extent against the dollar and is now trading at 1.03.
In times of turbulence (which Trump has added to), people look to the dollar as a safe haven.
As regards borrowing costs, ours are not dissimilar to those of the US because of concerns there (as in the UK) of high debt and interest rates staying higher for longer.
As it is, Germany's borrowing costs are nearly half ours but Germany has a much lower debt to GDP ratio, so is much less reliant on borrowing.
I don't venture abroad and do not have a mortgage.
Anyway it's a cunning plan by Labour to rejoin the EU.
The economy will tank (find its own level) and then the only path left to save us will be to rejoin the EU or at the very least the Customs union.
There will be no other options and even the Tories will concede that.

Assume you probably eat food and consume energy? As the value of Sterling drops the price of those imports goes up, driving inflation and eating into disposable income.
