Indeed, but that’s wild to be a couple weeks out and still have no plan. Presumably if the OBR changes its mind next week, plan changes again, and so on and so on.

With no guarantee any of these plans actually align with reality

Yes but we’re trapped in this cycle of upending policy based on a rolling 5 year projection of whether debt is falling. Last week; income tax must rise! This week; oh no it doesn’t, next week; who can say!

So I’d say it’s not long term thinking at all, it’s incredibly reactive

Perhaps a relatively weaker tabloid press / the powers that be just not caring what happens here.

Did find it amusing hearing at length how it would be impossible to win an election on a pledge to raise tax when, well, the SNP have won how many now?

More recently I find they’ll drop podcasts, YouTubers etc and see what they get, at least the more subtle ones do

100% had it happen before at previous jobs, eventually they start dropping hints to see how you respond etc

Stunning!

Really nice!

I think this is the issue, they’re dying off and seem determined to implement some sort of permanent ‘Boomer high culture’ before they go because the idea that young people will tear it all up appears to send them running for the fainting couches.

‘It’s obviously not my fault, the billionaire in charge. Clearly it’s the drivers.’

Doohan style, braking while DRS open maybe?

He 100% based on his theory on the fucking Lion King

Impressive to make a mistake that takes 2 other guys with you

He’s been quite generous on the beard / jaw shape… almost, gender affirming, one could say

The SNP also claimed there was a £20 billion hole in Labour’s plan, which was rubbished as clearly nonsense, only for that same amount to turn up as the previously unforeseeable gaping maw in the first budget once the election had been safely completed…

The real question is, who plays you in the sequel movie?
