The Spring Statement 07:23 - Mar 26 with 6734 views | onceablue | I have never been this excited in my life I wonder what Gems ‘Racheal from Accounts’ will come up with today. If you receive any kind of benefits watch out. If you are a pensioner on benefits then you are really screwed Unfortunately Labour made too many bold promises to get into power. They didn’t have to do that. The Tories on the back of their performance were a beaten party Something is guaranteed dear old Racheal will mention the 22M black hole. My guess is she will mention it at least 10 times. Higher or lower? |  | | |  |

In an exchange with oneablue you can never be made to look foolish. |  |

The Spring Statement on 07:47 - Mar 26 with 2804 views | The_Flashing_Smile | I've just realised your name refers to your political rather than footballing allegiance. BTW, I know you'd love to sweep it under the carpet (like the Tories tried with all their misgivings) but the £22 BILLION black hole is hugely relevant, a national scandal, and several of your lot should've gone to prison over it. Mocking it now is shameful. You never did reply yesterday as to whether you complained about freebies during the previous government's 14 years in power (we won't even get into the widespread corruption, PPE contracts for mates etc.) |  |

The Spring Statement on 07:49 - Mar 26 with 2789 views | BlueBadger | Amazing to think that you've spent 14 years cheering on people cutting support to the vulnerable, and ruining the economy and infrastructure and now here you are getting upset about it because the people doing it are wearing the wrong colour ties.

But it rose from 2.5% to 3% in January So by my reckoning it is still higher than it was in January Correct? Or are you a fool😂😂 |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I'm not one to kink shame, but I do wish that they'd take their humiliation kick somewhere else. |  |

Yes I did complain if you read my posts I said all parties are the same in that respect. It’s just the Labour Party said they were going to change everything ‘The Party for change’ when in reality they have changed very little |  | |  |

Oh yeah, for some reason I deducted it from £1bn rather than £22bn. I had in my head wanting to demonstrate how much bigger a billion is than a million and royally fooked it. [Post edited 26 Mar 8:13]

How much should the have changed in your opinion, inside their first year? I know you never answer with specifics but I’d like to know why you inflict these daily humiliations on yourself. |  |

I'd imagine there's probably not much need for you to consider ladies clothes in your household budget, to be fair. [Post edited 26 Mar 8:09]

So when the Labour Party wrote their note ‘Good luck there is no money left’ I suppose you considered that funny? |  | |  |

The Spring Statement on 08:20 - Mar 26 with 2466 views | SuperKieranMcKenna | I’m sure it’s going to be pretty uninspiring, but the level of mocking and whining is a joke. The Tories oversaw: - 2 sovereign downgrades - largest tax burden in living memory, yet most public services broken. - so much national debt we are now paying more on debt than our education system. I don’t think most people will begrudge further tax rises if it means they can see a doctor once in a while. The challenge for Labour is making sure that services do actually improve, otherwise the populists will continue to eat in to their support. |  | |  |

As previously explained in these pages, that is a long running joke made by treasury secretaries when they leave office. That particular one was released to the press, but it has been going on for decades (probably since the 1920s) by all parties. Your ignorance knows no bounds does it? |  |

And the forecast is it will rise to 3.7% in the autumn And by then the Labour Party would have been in power for well over a year. You agree that’s bad? |  | |  |
