    Im noticing the decay here has reached the tipping point. I can only assume Labour is basically helping businesses strip the country for parts before abandoning it completely. Our goose is cooked we have no relevance on the world stage and put all our eggs in making wank finance systems basket which literally any other country can do. I guess my only respite is the few minutes of schadenfreude I get to enjoy as the Londoners i hate so much get yeeted back into the stone age with the rest of us povos. I’m so bored of hearing about the budget someone fire the space lasers at the southeast already and be done with it.

    ‘black hole’ has to be silliest term to describe a fiscal deficit, trying to make it spooky and scary. in reality, a surplus is closer to a black hole, you are taking money from private sector (could be for good or bad reasons depending on who is being targeted) and dumping it into a hole and draining demand.

    Ok but why? Like why did she do that.
    This helped tank the party’s popularity and it wasnt necessary, so why?
    Like from a cynical politician point if view this makes no sense.
    This can only make sense if she is ideologically committed to austerity for its own sake.
