Who could have foreseen that from the Purity of Perpetual Opposition Popular Front?

Still buy them.

The "it won't cost me" part is the mantra chanted by much of the electorate. Everyone wants things fixed just so long as someone else picks up the bill. Anyone offering an electoral prospectus promising tax rises doesn't get elected. The country is becoming ungovernable.

Ah but #saintsFC did win the FA Cup in 1976 and I was the proud owner of a Sunbeam Rapier with a bulging ashtray. And I was thinner. And I had hair.

If I were being generous I'd suggest it was a case of offering up rumours of bad news to come before announcing the good news of no bad news after all. But like this? 🤨Cack-handed at the very least.
No problem though. The situation can be saved by announcing UK entry to the EU SM. 😜

Oh for the old days of not worrying too much and silence before Budget day. Country needs to grow up.

"One Labour MP"? You'll have to do better than that.

So the lobby hacks made it all up? 🤨 Even that lot can't have been quite so stupid. Somebody's telling fibs.
