So you are predicting a recession next quarter, next year? I would just like to set a line in the sand so we can revisit it later.



Numbers? All conjecture until it actually happens. Country can't afford to subsidise people who chose to send their kids to private school anymore. I used to play cricket at a local private primary school, they had a swimming pool, state of the art sports facilities and more land than every local secondary combined. Why should the taxpayer subsidise that through tax breaks at the expensive of their own children's education?



Growth at the expense of millions of working families doesn't benefit the country.



Why wait 4 years, maybe look at the last 4 years. How did the conservatives led UK compare to democrat led US during that time period?
Nowhere near as high as they were, a few percent.

No growth or the 0.01% type probably not a recession unless they get even worse.

Any numbers would cause a problem, schools are struggling enough.

It was proportionately better, but they had Brexit & Covid fallout to deal with, that's all done now so it should be growth, growth growth.

The conservatives were pretty crap too, but will look a lot better in four years.

How do you think Drakeford has done in Wales?
