Good government is, I think, in a position of trust. Whether you compare that to a parent or teacher, or to the trustee of a charity, the same principle applies. As a trustee they must balance short term wants and needs with long term interests.

While this #UKLabour government is a definite improvement, and certainly less self-serving, I remain unconvinced that they have or can attain that balance. I don't particularly like #RachelReeves and disagree with her on several key policies, but I think she is taking a longer term view than just the next election cycle, which is something I definitely respect. She is the only one I feel able to say that about. #KierStarmer has compromised on too many things, which I'm very disappointed about, but I'm pleased to see him taking a firmer position with #Trump about #Ukraine.

I guess promising us MORE Austerity after 15 years of Tory Austerity combined with our super best friend, Gilead calling a Trade War isn't helping.

Tell you what chancellor, why don't you punish the Poor for the Economy not going the way you naively assumed it would, teach us a lesson, yeah?

The Guardian · UK economy shrinks unexpectedly in blow to Rachel ReevesBy Phillip Inman

More evidence of who exactly Rachel Reeves is listening to, when (re)formulating policies.... and if I tell you its investment firm Blackstone's CEO, who made representations about NonDoms interests right before the 'crack down' on NonDoms was softened, would you be shocked? Sadly, its all too predictable.

No doubt he'll have been whispering to her about those benefits scroungers & disabled people robbing the benefits system, too

Worth remembering that #uk rearmament in the 1930s was not funded by further cuts in benefits - those in 1931 took place before #hmtreasury abandoned 'the no major war in ten years' assumption - this was scrapped in 1932. If #nevillechamberlain and #sirjohnsimon - the two successive chancellors of the exchequer - preferred to resort to taxes and borrowing why should not #rachelreeves - or any #labour successor - do the same this time round ?

Rachel Reeves will unload savage cuts to Welfare in her Budget, and she'll do it with glee.
Public services will deteriorate, people will blame Immigrants and Wokeness as guided by the media, then they'll Protest Vote Labour out of Government and Rachel Reeves will carry on with her merry life, believing she did her very best.

All this is a choice, and a choice not made by us, but by a group of men a year ago in some anonymous room paid for by Oligarchs.
