How is Farage better placed to do anything about it.What are his credentials ?
Desire for change, to put Britain first, and to redirect spend more efficiently rather than spaffing more and more money on the same old woke shit.
So you think the far right will actually make that happen!!!!.???
The Far Right, Nigel Farage ???!!!......oh dear oh dear oh dear. Must read the Guardian.

I would love to see a good old fashioned commence sense approach to spending. The current deficit is unsustainable.

I believe that Farage is the best-placed out of possible future leaders to deliver some much needed serious change. Whether the civil service would allow him to succeed I don't know.

Labour says the wealthy should pay more and are planning to raise the 40% tax rate to 48% and then coming back to f**k your granny with a 10% property 'death' tax 👵
They've already f*ked the farmers, private schools and mansion tax property owners and spaffed it all on benefits
Healey is planning to f**k Pensioners, working people and entrepreneurs in the Oct Budget.
... Benefit claimants have nothing to fear and can look forward to further benefit increases

... and Burnham says wealthy areas must house more migrants

What I'm not understanding is Starmer and Reeves (BTW, has anyone heard from her ... she's gone as distant as Osbourne was after the Brexit referendum result! :D ) knew they were going to have to break manifesto pledges to balance the books and all Burnham has done is spend, spend, spend so his books will be even more unbalanced. Has a new version of arithmetic been invented that I missed? I was taught that minus + minus = bigger minus

Dreading that Budget already on 28th October. It is highlighted in my diary. It isn't going to be good for us taxpayers, workers, business owners, savers, investors, or basically anybody who contributes something worthwhile to this country. I have no problem with genuine out of work benefit claimants, (in fact they should receive more) and I know a couple of really ill people who cannot work and would love to. However there are way too many malingerers. Parasites on our society, they have no shame. Make them clean the streets or do something useful, rather than just leeching off the rest of us. I saw Burnham saying every area has to house their share of illegal migrants. Let's see how that works out eh.
