More slash and burn privatisation. This will mean those services will have to be paid for with a profit element on top to private providers - short term window dressing and long term pain for taxpayers.

The lunatic is now in charge - after US voting with Russia yesterday we Europeans can no longer regard America as an ally.
Sad sad times - will Americans wake up to this before it is too late ? We can only hope.

No - balanced got us into this mess - presenting one economist against another when 500 believe one thing but only one opposes isnt balanced it's misleading. Impartiality is required so a fair representation can be made and the public made aware of the weight of opinion. Agree LK a Tory mouthpiece

If you bring non earners into your average then you have to bring in high earners - stats can't be trusted but the billionaires can afford to pay more and many of them would prefer to - they wrote an open letter stating so.

I don't believe Reeves is an economist. A pound in the hand of a poor person ispent and boosts GDP roughly 8 times that whereas an extra pound in a rich person's hand gets saved or invested not affecting GDP - if you want growth put more cash in hands of poor and disabled especially. #economystupid

I wonder if Musk believed he is Hitler reincarnated, given a mission to use the worlds largest superpower to succeed in global domination where he failed before? He seems mad enough.

Poor people don't have luxury of choice through preference - to survive they buy the cheapest food available - your IHT subsidy is not bringing down the cost of food it just keeps the land in the same hands. Get rid of tax breaks - reduce the cost of land allowing new entrants to buy smallholdings

Some may do that and that is tragic but the suicide statistics are facts - ordinary people living in deprived areas are TWICE as likely to commit suicide. Those in deprived areas could be helped if the inequality now baked into society was addressed through taxation but you don't care about them.

Total shameful hyperbole and cruel rhetoric to bandy about - those who commit suicide are being disrespected here. As for thousands by 2026 - absolute bullshit!

Yes - the mantra of the rich - we can't afford any public services unless the poor tighten their belts and go without basic needs of health care, heating, social care, schools, roads and council services. The rich can't possibly contribute with the current price of avocados and lobster. Fk austerity

Some men-or lots of men - but please give some of us the credit we deserve for treating women with respect and care - the phrase "men feel entitled" is a gross exaggeration and it doesn't help to label all men as the same - that will only help the Tates of this world to persuade and recruit. Peace x

He was a bumbling fool on the radio - so his house of commons persona was not an act. Trump apologist - Reform and Tories will be falling over each other to suck up to Trump.

Thanks to the Tory ERG nutters - at least Theresa May tried for a workable solution - this result is what dogma gives you - an uncompromising disaster.

Yes - amazing how quickly the narrative changed from "growth held back by 3.5m idle 50plus" to "it's all because of labours' NI hike" ( which cannot possibly have filtered through yet grrr).
They want labour to lose their nerve - if they do they will be indistinguishable from last shower.
