That Starmer fella...

Nothing says we’re doing competent government like a briefing war leading to your chief of staff resigning within a few months of gaining power

so glad that the grown ups are back in charge

Starmer will run out of scapegoats at some point.

Not following your point, tbh. Are we supposed to think that the Tories wouldn’t be facing the same shortfall, or that they didn’t cause it in the first place?

“Some very big tax decisions are being left until very late in the day,” one senior source claimed. Another said the Treasury’s tax-raising plans were in “complete disarray”.

Or, "they haven't made a final decision"

Before the usual suspects turn up and start honking about P&O and lost money, do they support a company that fired British workers and then directly replaced with staff from developing countries at much reduced cost?

It's also worth mentioning that The Times in particular has been heavily anti-Labour since day one. They have made very negative headlines about even positive stories for Labour. It's been quite incredible how biased they have been. I've been a subscriber for years (their sports coverage used to be the best , but Martin Samuel alone makes me want to ditch it) and it's quite shocking how bad they have been.

Agreed but we're not hosting a conference for international investment; we're not grown-ups.
