Budget

[aveatry]

Might as well get the unpopular stuff out of the way early. Good move I'd say.

Yes it is a cynical nasty ploy but people will not forget - look what happened to lib dems and the university fees

I'd think the real test point is probably about mid way of their term.

Do you think they'll make it? Might already be mid term.

People will not forget

Hopefully. Wouldn’t want any old political party taking the credit.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Initial reactions mean nothing

First impressions count!

Reckon they'll be more from the Wilson Callaghan mould than slick New Blair Labour.

People have very short memories with politics.

What matters most is how they feel in the runup to an election, not what happens immediately after one

It's what every government does.

If you knew anything about business, you'd know that its in their interests to take very little in salary.

Motorbiking is making reference to the fact that "profit" and "salary" can be manipulated to the benefit of the manipulator.

A person in control of the numbers can claim to be poor, even if they are not.

Beware of anybody who claims they are entitled to generous handouts or that their life is hard despite sitting on millions.

It is much harder for those in genuine poverty.

 

[crystal ball]

Who??

72 MPs how many tory MPs are there?
