Miserable speech from the chancellor
It wasn't even pain today and jam tomorrow
It felt like jam in some parallel universe or fairytale future
No clear strategy for actually making that jam

Mixed message from Reeves is threat to economic confidence
Her policy approach seems equally confused

I can't think of another organization that has cast such light into an area of such political darkness
A serious error of judgement

'under-investment has resulted in a vicious circle of stagnation and decline and greater social and environmental problems'

Reeves must abandon her commitment to further austerity

'Starmer’s swift rejection of EU priorities such as establishing a youth mobility scheme and rejoining Erasmus has gone down badly in European capitals and is taking a toll on early optimism about the new British government'
Such a shame; such a waste
