Brilliant. Hope he's grown to be a healthy young man..
For as long as I've been on this forum you've been bleating about austerity. Now the Conservatives are spending money, you're bleating about that.
Make your mind up lad.

Hypocrisy.
You defended Austerity by saying we have run out of money, we cannot spend beyond our means. Now your defending borrowing to spend which you derided.
Who will pay for this you dirty socialists spending other peoples money.
All you RWR who crowed about the magic money tree now you are using that magical tree.
The point is you dont understand Government finances.
To be fair, the amount of money being spent is more than in recent years but it's still below 2010 numbers.
The more significant hypocrisy-hunting point is probably that the government isn't trying to balance the books at all. It's investing rather than living with its means. I'm fine with that as a concept but it isn't what the Tories have been saying for the best part of a decade.
Then again treating the Tory party as a monolithic group is probably a mistake. Some of them probably have been urging their colleagues to spend more all along. Some are probably sitting around complaining about how they've embraced Labours policies so much and how much better it all was with Cameron.

I'm not sure I've defended austerity per se, I've probably said the welfare system needs modernising, but no having read 'Mark Blyth', I've been converted to the belief that austerity doesn't always achieve the goal it's meant to, you'll also recall how I bemoaned the fact most of the EU was in austerity measures in an attempt to stay within the guidelines of the Maastricht treaty. You do remember that don't you.
I may have derided Corbyn's 'borrowing to spend', does the Tories planned spending even come close to that?
It is a magic money tree, you know as well as I do that any money we borrow will likely never be paid back, it's like QE, it's not real money, it's fairy dust.
They are pretty much a monolithic group, the moderates either got booted out or left.
Most if not all are free marketeers with links to lobby groups, esp private healthcare, fossil fuel interests, media tycoons and billionaires living in tax havens.
Many of them are linked to brexit think tanks that spew out misinformation and lies.
This budget is part of the campaign strategy for 2024 election.
Tories need that Red wall to keep a majority.
As you say its long term investment, it wont make much if any improvement to people lives, especially at the bottom end.
They weren't moderates, they were traitors who were betraying the very people who elected them. Unfortunately for them, another election came along, or as I like to think of it, a 'second referendum' or a 'peoples vote' if you will. The great British voting public overwhelmingly let them know what they thought of them.
Democracy at it's finest, job done.
ah, you mean like buffoon johnson, MP for a Remain constituency.

They didnt vote overwhelmingly.
14 million voted for Johnson out of 48 million
Johnsons withdrawal act puts a stonking great customs border inside the United Kingdom
Anybody that voted for that is a trecherous traitor.
Johnston stood on a platform to uphold the referendum result (which he did, and quite spectacularly I might add), the people of Uxbridge and South Ruislip obviously respected that and voted him in with an increased majority.
