For me, the economy is still pretty rough. Inflation has come down but prices stayin high and I don't think prices will come down, so in turn, wages have to rise to balance it out.
Been reading lots of economist's papers, columns etc and most of the leading ones, all say the same thing, you got to spend money. The current govt are very much "spend less, get the same level of service" ie NHS.
Labour seem to have an actual plan and will spend money so maybe help it grow...

the fact that BOE kept the interest rates on hold isnt going to help especially those about to renew there fixed rate mortgages at a much higher rate than they were last done

The general election discussion has been moved to a new thread General Election 2024.

Thanks to southsidestu for the suggestion to split the posts, it makes sense seeing as it'll be a shitshow with lots of discussion

This Spitting Image sketch from when Sunak was chancellor had me in stitches .
The Liz Truss puppet dancing along in the background just got me in absolute hysterics.

I wonder where he will go on holiday after July 4?

the OBR are asking for an Investigation into the spring statement old Hunty did apparently discrepencys in what they were told

Kemi Badenoch has said she's now working class after getting a job at McDonalds when she was 16

She'll be saying she's disabled next after that time she broke her nail, the out of touch idiot.

^Well she could always claim her dad was a Toolmaker. That one seems to work quite well.

As has VP Harris, Former Speaker & VP candidate Paul Ryan & Bezos

That will no doubt get the spidey senses of the new world order conspiracists tingling, wont be long before a McDonald's gets the AR-15 special
