@TheBreadmonkey saw an outraged headline about one of Starmer's advisors having claimed expenses of £600 for three office chairs so how can he possibly advise on a budget shortfall

@TheBreadmonkey If it has been there for 20 years and the country hasn’t gone bankrupt it doesn’t seem to be an urgent problem.

@TheBreadmonkey I know. We all have to pay eye watering tax to close an overdraft our parent’s government ran up and didn’t pay off when the economy was a lot better. But this is “credible financial prudence” apparently.

Maybe Rachel Reeves should go and see Citizens Advice?

So the hole hasn't gotten any bigger in 20 years. If you factor in the inflation rate, the hole has actually gotten smaller.🤓 😬
