A tough year ahead 18:35 - Mar 23 with 1068 views

This might be a bit complicated and too factual for the bigmouth blowhards on here, but the more thoughtful amongst you might find it to be an interesting, and pretty unbiased read.

Basically, despite Sunak's slightly limp efforts, next year is going to be very tough particularly for the less well-off.

Don't worry, those folk are just the deserving poor. All their fault if you think about it.

He'll get used to it after a few goes!

I haven't read the article, but I have seen the link.

To be fair, some people's viewing devices may be truncating that link in different places to yours and mine, so they'll be scratching their heads at that one.

Buy a decent tarpaulin is my advice.

It's been an interesting day. The headline of a (possible) (future) income tax cut will probably be as far as some people probe. I found this Richard Murphy's live tweeting on it quite useful, as I don't really understand it all. I realise he's very much a "lefty" though and regular target of "righties" - I don't have the knowledge to debate/critique his points either way, but found the macro picture information very interesting.

In short, householders and public services are expected to take the brunt of cost of living crisis as the govt pursues balancing the books at all cost. So yeah, any one struggling or within a few hundred pounds a month of struggling is Donald Ducked and largely on their own.

PS, he has a very good thread on the energy company price rises as well, and I'm more confident there in knowing that what he's saying is more or less the case.

Poll:

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?
