The Budget

[xsnaggle]

This is a long thread for a 'kick the can down the road' budget. At least it settles the age old CCMB question, 'was austerity a political choice?', undoubtedly.

I don't think there as ever a question about whether it was political or not. The questions are was it the right thing to do and did it work? The Labour party clearly would not have opted for that route.
But as with so many things, like the way this pandemic is being dealt with, its something we will never know unfortunately.
