No, just expecting minimum wage workers to freeze themselves when the heating gets cut off.

Nice to see Rishi Sunak going for the 'spit and polish' approach to infrastructure improvements.
I can't see £20m paying for much of a bypass myself.

Watching Anneliese Dodds' response to the whole spending review was incredibly depressing.

Labour are just flailing around looking for something to say, but have no effective response or alternative whatsoever.

Short term projects are I guess a good way to give money to friends and look like you're doing something while not actually doing anything to fix the causes of long term decline or even most of the symptoms.

I think we were all talking about how credit ratings are made up earlier in the thread, well I just saw an advert for Experian where you can now upgrade your credit rating for free! With Experian Boost!

If the current systems in place were not depressingly bleak killing poor people this would be funny.

Just remind me, what nation out of the four that exist within the Uk, tends to routinely vote in a racist government, leading to the scenes we're seeing today with people being deported?

I mean come on, Scotland has it's own dark past of bigotry, sectarianism, racism, homophobia and transphobia, but Scotland isn't routinely allowing in the tories

The absolute shame of Starmer & Evans etc for forcing people to expend large sums of money on legal fees (whichever side) which could be spent on something actually USEFUL to society. What a poo poo show the current Labour Party is.

Oh goody, this argument again! This time I'm sure we'll all realise that everyone on this side of a completely imaginary line is a beautiful being of pure socialist light while everyone on that side is a slavering beast lusting for the death of all human life.

Exactly. I see people including Wales in the 'voted remain' comments fairly often. Wales voted quite determinedly 'leave'. People standing in front of buildings and so forth built by EU in Ebbw Vale saying 'what has the EU ever done for us'. Not only that, but Welsh people also vote UKIP in not-small numbers. It's not the leftish political paradise some seem to imagine.

It's pretty impressive Scotland has 13 Tory MPs really, per population at least that's about the same as London.
