I'll be pleasantly surprised if Labour do anything at all that's unpopular with the very wealthy.

It's coherent to scale back the green investment plan because you don't know where the workers to implement it will come from. It is not coherent to do so because of the need to be "responsible" with the public finances.

Reeves uses the "fiscal responsibility" line because - unfortunately - it goes down well with our totally economically clueless media class.

And Shaun Bailey?
So what has he ever done to warrant a peerage?
Given that Kulveer Ranger is there as well, a bit surprised that Andrew Gilligan didn't get one.

If you believed that you'd have to gradually increase spending over the first few years because of lack of capacity, perfectly reasonable, why not 'pledge' the underspend would be rolled forward over the following, say, five years? That's surely what you would do if you thought climate change was more important than daft fiscal rules, and would also have the bonus side-effect of helping you meet the fiscal rules in the medium term.

Re: Friday 9th June 2023
McDonnell also talked about "fiscal responsibility" as SC, though - to an extent it means what you want it to mean.

So Johnson plays the victim, blames everybody else, comes out with a load of delusional bullshit, and doesn't have the guts to fight a by-election. How unlike him.

Re: Friday 9th June 2023
I mean I love how he's claiming he's been done over by Harriet Harman and a remainer plot to reverse brexit when in fact he's been found guilty by a Conservative majority committee who would then report its finding to a Conservative majority parliament who he clearly thinks would have voted to suspend him. If he genuinely believes anything he's said in his ludicrous resignation tantrum he's clearly more delusional than anyone thought. Were all his own ministers who resigned forcing him out of No 10 all part this remainer plot to do him in? Most of them were arch brexiters ffs. What a pitiful excuse for a human being.
Re: Friday 9th June 2023
It would take a heart of stone etcRichard Mills, chairman of the Uxbridge and South Ruislip Conservative Association, said Mr Johnson had been an “outstanding” advocate for the community “contrary to external perception”.

As our sorely-missed anti-corruption judge Eva Joly explained all this
" As a magistrate I dealt with small-time crims who eventually confessed . Whitecollar mothas protest their innocence all the way to the cells ."
No shame, ever !

Ha ha, so they are going to publish the report anyway? That probably ends any chance of him coming back for the foreseeable.

Re: Friday 9th June 2023
There has to be something wrong with these Johnson loyalists. He was humiliatingly forced out of Downing Street by his own MPS and now he's running away crying before he gets humiliatingly forced out of his seat by his own voters. Yet they're blathering on about him making a comeback. Why? Have they learned nothing? Do they expect he's going to do any better in the future? What precisely do they get out of this weird, creepy cult they're in? He wouldn't piss on most of them if they were on fire. I just don't understand it.
