Just watched Peston, and for some reason all the attention was on Labour getting a roasting not the Tories! Including Rachel Reeves whom Peston talked over repeatedly.  

Reeves scared me , so robotic.

She might be very good, I don't know, but she certainly doesn't come across on TV as a great asset. None of them do. They don't have that cut throat, bombastic, ruthlessness that the Tories have that comes across as confidence.

Saw her for a minute and changed channels.

Now that the analysis of the Autumn Budget is coming in, once again it seems it's all Tory smoke and mirrors as usual. Giving with one hand and taking back with the other. Basically Jeremy Hunt was telling lies of omission. We will, all bar a few wealthy people, be worse off. Most pundits be they Tory or Labour agree on that.

 

The Tories really do think we are stupid. They know this budget would be gone over with a fine tooth comb and found wanting across the board. They just rely on the faithful and the thick not bothering to look any further than the end of their nose. Sadly, too many people still do just that.

All based on a supposed upturn in the economy.

Its all relative I suppose but nothing to begin to suggest that tax cuts are justified as long as council funding and consequently services continue to be cut beyond the bone.

I don’t think the voting public will buy it ,but the result will be Conservative claims as to what would have been had they continued in power.

You're usual reasoned and adult mask is slipping today Anna.

You're true feelings are well and truly coming out.

Disappointing to say the least, thought you were above all that.

Anna you’re beginning to sound like a football supporter who hates the supporters of a rival club. Whatever your team does is fine,  whereas whatever the rival team does is wrong, even though you would most likely support it if was coming from your club.

Sorry.

But my frustration has gone into overdrive following Jeremy Hunt's doublespeak statement.
