It seems we have got a nodding dog in 10a Downing street now, The Chancellor has nothing to do now but take instructions from number 10
Johnson is turning out to be an unusual tory PM though. Rather than out and out austerity his instinct seems to be to turn the taps on. Analysts on the BBC seem to think this change of chancellor is in order to allow a big splurge of spending on infrastructure projects like HS2 and Northern rail. This might actually be no bad thing for the economy right now.
Is it ever too late to put something right?[/quoteIt is if you execute an innocent man. 😉
BTW I should say I don't vote Tory.In this last election, I voted Lib Dem knowing they had no chance of unseating the Tory MP. They are best placed to take this seat from him in future.I didn't feel as though I could vote for Corbyn anyway.
Well BST, according to NNK, you didn’t vote for Corbyn.

Of course NNK is right in the strictest of terms. But clearly, a vote for a Labour candidate was a vote that aimed at putting Corbyn in No 10.Was Corbyn my preferred choice for PM among the ones on offer in December? Yes. Was he my preferred choice of all the politicians who might have been available? Not by a million miles.I voted Labour despite Corbyn. What you really want in a political party is a leader who makes people vote BECAUSE of them.
