Despite taking in an extra 5 billion in tax the Government has managed to borrow the 4th highest since records began. It was expected to be 17.9 bn, but ended up at 20.2 bn. At this rate Labour will bankrupt the country before their five years are up.
Despite the country being taxed at it's highest since after WW2 it is now deemed that Reeves will either have to increase taxes or cut services.
How can Starmer proclaim he is looking into paying more pensioners the winter fuel payment because of the better state of the country.
No it's not in a better state and despite 14 years of Tory mismanagement Labour are even surpassing them in the handling of the economy. |  | | |  |

Reform are now bookies favourites to win the most seats at the next general election, I saw earlier.
That says it all. [Post edited 22 May 13:19]

Disastrous choice of Chancellor, ideologically driven, again doing Labour in.
Needed a Darling, got a Truss :( |  |

Nonsense. You got a link or have you just made that up?
The next election is about 5 years away, how on earth would anyone be able to gauge who's going to win what seats, let alone put money on it?
I know you'd desperately like it to happen but making stuff up won't do it. |  |

National Debt has risen by a trillion in 5 years. £2.3 trillion in 20 years. Yet everyone wants more public spending. Who would be a chancellor of the exchequer. | | | |

Anything could happen between now and next election but the risk is real.
The problem only arises though if traditional Labour voters drift towards Greens &/or Lib Dems which is possible.
Plenty of time to stop it happening. |  |

Didn't the economy just grow more than expected and aren't we forecast to have some of the strongest economic growth in the G7? Granted, it's not massive growth but the Tories had us flat lining for years and you can't turn around that level of stagnation overnight. |  |

The way the media portrays politics, there is no good decision a chancellor can make.
Increase taxes - "taxes are already high", "same old labour increasing taxes", "we will drive the rich away"
Increase borrowing - "borrowing too high already", "same old labour leaving the country in debt"
Decrease spending - "Labour are the new Tories with austerity 2.0", "public sector already on it's knees"
Personally, I think because of the above and the huge majority Labour have they should have gone bolder to get the country back to full strength. Increase taxes for certain sectors and increase the additional tax rate to 47%. They can then bring taxes back down a year on from the election to get the voters back on side. At the moment everything is too small to make a difference yet what they are doing is being blown out of proportions and creating bad headlines. | |

It’s weird how they always do it. Right after Tory mismanagement and corruption. It’s like there’s a pattern. |  |

Couple of billion is peanuts in national government al terms. About 0.15% of annual expenditure. Equivalent of someone on an average £37.5k salary borrowing an extra £60. |  |

Wonder what odds you could get that Reform will not even exist as a coherent entity in four years time? | |

Most likely that the people who are stupid enough to bet on this are the same people who vote Reform, so it's shortened the odds. | | | |

That’s what I don’t understand. Betting is quite reactionary and so if a fair few people saw all the Reform type of headlines a couple weeks ago and laid down money on them, then the odds will go down. |  | | |

It says nothing other than some people have placed a bet on it. With FPTP it will be nigh on impossible for Reform to win the majority of seats, even if they win the popular vote.
I wouldn't rule out Farage becoming PM, but it won't be as leader of Reform.
Stick to crypto mate. Forthty percent of people know that will only go up up up!

I didn't say it proves anything. Just interesting betting markets. You think Reform being favourites is normal?
It's not. | | | |

Crypto and Reform have a lot in common.
An obvious grift, peddled at the gullible in order to fleece them of their money. | |

Alastair Darling is the best Chancellor of my lifetime. Ok bloke too.
Reeves? No idea. Like the Millibandmeister, all ideology no pragmatism.
Edit: Reeves is no worse than the collection of pillocks that infested No 11 from 2010 to 2024. [Post edited 22 May 14:23]
