Autumn Statement

[Randy Ostrich]

Does he believe a word he's saying? Borrowing higher so far this year but it magically going to halve next year?

Foreign house owners, ideally.

And this.

Not really applicable up here like.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

The bloke is like a really shit robot

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Foreign house owners, ideally.

Key word - those houses are owned by 'companies' based in tax havens rather than the individuals themselves

I currently rent in London - my landlord is Chinese.

Osbourne is a popularity driven pussy!! Hes scrapped the tax credit cut. If he had the bollocks to carry out his own beliefs they would have been slashed. Its a good thing he has scrapped it but shows exactly what type of leader he'd be

Responds to the people who have entrusted his government to run the country on their behalf?

He had little choice to be fair.

Great news, as long as you don't claim housing benefits.

So what will the U-turn be - the excuse that improved economy means that Osborne can scrap Tax Credit cuts or Osborne is forced to admit Corbyn was right? Tough one.

Youve been here as long as i have. You should know the facts should never affect a self righteous rant.

First answer is correct, an improved forecast

And £25Bn ???? for stuff to blow up Muslims.

The particular Muslims he's after seem quite capable of blowing themselves up

Ah is that it, so nothing to do with a U-turn under pressure?

 

[AndrewP]

Hasn't said yet/if but it's rumoured he'll cut LHA, or possibly make housing benefit claimants pay the first 10% of their rent.

So now there are no tax credit cuts, what have Labour got left to use against the Tories?

Nothing. Just silly, hard-left politics and overt obsession over ethical middle class issues such as trident that the electorate as a whole don't care about.
