"Most thinkers would say that the current government would considered a safe pair of hands for our economy but in the past ten years We’ve seen the cost of living increase, life chances being reduced, our supply chains being ruined and more red tape at our borders and cuts to business support in growth areas so the question is can our government be trusted with our economy anymore?" Theresa May had the most incompetent Cabinet in living memory…. And then along came Boris Johnson. I am fairly sure that even the most fervent Brexit supporters are now feeling somewhat alarmed at what is now going on. I don’t think there has ever been a time in history when a country has marched headlong into an upcoming winter of discontent knowing absolutely that it need not be this way. | |||

"Does that mean that in 13years people might just shut up about Brexit?" the brextremists banged on and on and on about brexit for 45 years. now they have what they want they will doubtless bang on and on and on about it for at least another 45 years.  | |||

Also people tend to holiday for sunshine. What's the solution there? "I think people have got so used to instant gratification that it seems harsh to them to wait for things. Holidays are ok but I know some people who will fly off 2-3 times a year which is way over the top 
The infrastructure will come if people make it happen but again too many look for the quick profit and will fuck anyone else over to do it.
I don’t really begrudge anyone being well off but when it comes to 100’s of billions it’s obscene | |||

You would have thought we would have had a sniff of it at least being created by now. Or are you saying be patient for the next 10-15 years at which point (not wanting to be rude) you'll possibly be gone and myself not a million miles behind. Our education system is not set up to revolutionise a economy. We (as a country) messed up. Just admit it. | |||

Yes. Better than the Labour antisemites who plunge Britain into further debt and screw the country | |||

"Didnt labour famously leave the jar empty, so let's trust them "Actually was not true. National debt in May 2010 when Labour left office was £980bn or 65% of GDP National debt in March 2019 (a year before Covid hit) under the Conservative Govt had been in power for just under nine years was £1.82 trillion or 85.2% of GDP. So they doubled the debt in nine years while ALSO imposing austerity. | |||

"I think it's a lot more nuanced than you would think. A lot of very powerful people lost a lot of money during this pandemic and they will want it back. The vaccine rollout delayed the pounds devaluation due to brexit, but we are beginning to see it now. I think the pandemic caused 100,000s to return home to their birth country as well as people to take early retirement in the UK. I feel what we are seeing with HGV drivers will spread across to other sectors. The inflated wages leading to hyperinflation (or near as damn it) in this country. History tells us that after a time of major economic upheaval follows war. So the question for me isn't can we trust this government with the economy. Rather, what can the government do to stop the rather bleak prediction I've made. " War?? Bring it on!! After all we do and always have had the Best Army in the WORLD! | |||

"from 11 years ago.... The former chief secretary to the Treasury, Liam Byrne, has reignited criticism of Labour's stewardship of the economy with a note for his successor which said "there's no money left". Byrne's note was discovered by David Laws, the Liberal Democrat MP who was appointed by the coalition government to succeed Byrne as No 2 at the Treasury. It is a convention for outgoing ministers to leave a note for their successors with advice on how to settle into the job. But Byrne's note – which he later said was intended as a private joke – drew attention to Labour's economic record when it was revealed by Laws at a press conference today. yep go labour, you showed them "Twas a dumb idea that the Tories used masterfully. From what I can tell it meant that there is no fat left to cut ... Which is how budgets are managed ... But the public saw it as meaning the bank is empty (because we view HMG budgets like running a household budget). | |||

"Only a few have given an answer, it seems they cannot be trusted from what I am gathering, 1.9 trillion in debt, that is considerably more than 2010, quite surprised and we had austerity. Does that sound like a government which can be trusted or not?" Can they be trusted? Not even remotely. Unless a person is a Tory or a Tory donor. In which case, bonanza time. Tory cronyism and corruption under Johnson has been sickening. | |||

Fuck what moron would do that?.. so labour weakened a nation by selling assets and labour were in power through a much more settled time. The conservatives can certainly piss money up the wall but labour are the gold medal winners... | |||
