It will be interesting to see how long it takes for the penny to drop, the leftie establishment of the OBR and the Bank of England did everything they could to scupper Truss, they blamed her for their own failures and talked the Tories out of Government. It is now readily apparent to even the most politically indifferent that this Government is inept, driven by Marxist dogma, untruthful and completely out of their depth, it will remain to be seen how long the leftie establishment will go along with all this before their support withers away. Labour are useless and destructive, we had that demonstrated to us in the 1970s and again now, it will be interesting to see some swift backtracking from those that did all they could to shaft the Tory Government. Labour is indeed fortunate in who their opponents are. Because only the appalling Tories can make Labour look like an improvement - at least to those of us having to earn a living as opposed to those whingeing from the comfort of their armchairs all day. Do you not realise that it is going to cost Tesco at least £800 pa more to employ you due to this budget? |

So the Labour budget mimics the busted flush of EU countries, High tax, high welfare, low growth.
You'd have thought they'd have learned not what to do when looking across the Channel.
And there was me thinking Labour's first mission was a grab for growth.

The very last thing my views on public sector lack of productivity are is ignorant... I beg to differ. You've already resorted to lying about what I said in order to make your "Point" and you've yet to tell us about your relevant experience that enables you to come to the conclusions that you do. |

Interesting snippet from the OBR assessment of the Budget - the Tax Burden is now going to be higher than it was in 1945 at the end of WW2.
Must admit - I'm left wondering what we are getting for this investment.

I haven't lied , and you re-accusing me of lying doesn't make your false accusation a fact . I quoted the exact post where you explained that you said ''eff it , ''endured'' a pay freeze and sat in post for 10 years to get your good pension'' instead of seeking more remunerative employment elsewhere if you were not satisfied where you were . My experience of the unproductive , unaccountable , often incompetent public sector is widespread and involves various sectors quite apart from being a private sector funder in private and business life - I'm not the one simply saying ''I'm a public sector supervisor ( now retired but gone back p/t) involved in ''infrastructure'' and I think I work hard enough so my opinion is gospel and how dare anyone disagree with me '' |

Must admit - I'm left wondering what we are getting for this investment. Yes - and wasn't there still rationing for several year after WW2? I've just read that Mr and Mrs Reeves are both landlords with a 5 figure income from renting 2 properties they own . The Chancellor, who now lives in Downing Street with her family, lets her former family home – a four-bedroom property in south London – for around £3,200 a month. While her husband Nicholas Joicey, a senior civil servant, is believed to have let his central London two-bed flat since 2011. It now has a market rental value of nearly £3,000 a month, according to property website Bricks&Logic.
It means the pair, who both have six-figure salaries, make more than four times the average landlord income of £16,500. Their rental income is also twice the average salary of nearly £37,000.

Overrun.What makes it more of a choker is that they are using our money to carry out their plans that most of us did not vote for and never have. |

The very last thing my views on public sector lack of productivity are is ignorant I believe you've previously implied that you do some sort of diversity/equality training for LA staff? (If I'm wrong about that it's my mistake) If so the first thing I'd be asking (of any type of public function/service) is '' Is it absolutely essential training , without which the staff are unable to perform their contracted job or is it simply ''bunce? '' If the answer is no then your services should be dispensed with as public sector costs should be stripped back to the bone and all staff held fully accountable for their actions at all times . Lack of accountability is one of the worst faults in the unproductive public sector. Any private sector business undertakes ongoing cost/benefit analysis to minimise costs . Yep, you're wrong. I don't deliver equality and diversity courses. There is a course which is compulsory, but it's delivered as an online course which takes about half an hour. The cost is negligible. The training I do is mostly technical, council tax, council tax support and housing benefit are my specialities. I have also delivered training for other council services such as parking and schools admissions, plus some additional customer care training. I hope you don't see any of that as "bunce". As for your comment about lack of accountability, again showing your ignorance. I'll be honest, I'm not sure if you're just on a wind up here? |

Compare with the private sector - the public sector does not work in a vacuum. Job security has a value of its own. What job security? Local authorities have been laying staff off for years. |

Must admit - I'm left wondering what we are getting for this investment. I'm not surprised, the NHS provides vastly more services than it did at its conception. I guess the ever repeated question is what (Aside from diversity managers and efficiency) you would be willing to give up. I do wonder how much could be saved by letting the elderly die when their time is up. My mum is 93, she no longer remembers any of her family, she is perpetually confused and scared, asking to see my Dad who died 6 years ago. She feels ill all the time and has permanent sores on her legs and now a bad reaction to antibiotics. My God, I hope by the time I reach that age we have become civilised enough not to let people suffer like this. |

The NHS is overun by pointless layers of pen pushers, diversity managers and an ongoing stream of non-contributing immigrants, both legal and illegal, and has been for years. |

The fact that you call local authority workers "wankers" tells me all about your level of political discourse. Your talents are wasted on this forum. |
