Business as usual as the Gories span yet another soundbite (austerity is over) and merely produced more austerity. Not a mention (let alone a penny for) of the climate crisis we are leaving for future generations. Apparently we cannot afford to nationalise existing PFI or PF2 deals but we are not going to create new ones. Same old shit. Same old Gories.
Peter’s analysis:
#Budget2018 despite Philip Hammond just saying “austerity is coming to an end” vulnerable kids, desperate for help with mental illness, now waiting up to 3 years for treatment, must wait up to 5yrs for extra NHS funding from a Brexit “dividend” which the OBR says doesn’t exist! pic.twitter.com/NhaxEN34ar

The only time we would see the Gories clap is when this happens in Cabinet…
However for Labour it is for a humane cause:
