That’s it.

Maybe not a fair word but I thought everyone had heard of the Peter Pan story and It’s also a song and was MJ’s ranch. I see now it’s in Wikipedia but not in the dictionary.

I would have thought it was acceptable in a crossword though?

Budget day blow-back

REPERCUSSIONS …. My thoughts exactly 🙁

Wonder what else they’re going to take off the poorest pensioners?

Nothing more harmful for the poorest I suspect (except a total lack of controlling immigration which will harm the poorest).

The pensioner winter fuel allowance thing is emotive and frankly a clumsy spiteful and unnecessary early cock-up, but it’s nothing compared to the macro economic impact today’s budget could have. Despite the social ‘power to the people’ flag waving over the last century, there’s a reason most Labour governments do not get a second term. Basically they run out of other people’s money to borrow, tax and spend. However I’ll wait and see what floats out today.

Let me incur forum off topic wrath and give you an example of Labour’s wooly thinking. If they had put the minimum wage up by 6.7% on day one instead of attacking state pensioners, the 20% tax receipts from the wage increase would have paid entirely for the the continuation of the winter fuel allowance (20% tax on the extra £6 billion in wages). Had they done this first is would have been a hugely positive move in terms of PR. But no, it’s an after thought and another big bit of budgeting policy released to the press before it gets to Parliament. Good on Lyndsey Hoyle for calling them out.
