I think the SNP are flogging a dead horse with this constant Independence nonsense, they couldn't convince the Scottish people when they were in their prime and they'll struggle to convince them at the next General Election as well.
And that begs the question of, how will they fare in the next election?, I'm going to take a wild stab at this and say they'll lose 10 to 15 seats, or a nightmare scenario could develop where they lose 20 to 30 seats. Could they gain any seats?, well, with all these accusations of government mismanagement being bandied about that's not very likely but, its not totally impossible, I think Mr Useless Yousaf's time is up though and if he had any honour at all he'd do the decent thing and fall on his sword. There are 3 or 4 hundred MPs down in Westminster who need to do that as well, all those career politicians need to go, they've never amounted to much in the past and they'll never amount to much in the future either, just do one decent thing in your life and **** off into the night will you.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt cuts workers' National Insurance by another 2p in the Budget, meaning it falls from 10% to 8%
He also increases the child benefit threshold from £50,000 to £60,000 Hunt says the National Insurance cut, to begin next month, is worth £450 a year for the average worker. It follows a 2p cut in last year's Autumn Statement - but there is no change to income tax. Labour leader Keir Starmer calls the Budget a "last desperate act" with people paying "more and more for less and less" New official forecasts say the government will collect 37.1p per pound of GDP in 2028/29 - the highest level in nearly 80 years. The OBR also says the economy will grow faster than expected - that, plus some tax rises, and existing "fiscal headroom", are what's funding the cuts. Hunt also increases the VAT threshold for small businesses to £90,000, and announces higher taxes on vapes and business class flights. And he says he's "abolishing" the "non-dom" tax system, but new arrivals to the UK will still not pay taxes on foreign income for four years.

^Just out of curiosity, if you send the Labour Party a small donation will it stop all of these begging letters?.

I've tried clicking on the unsubscribe button a couple of times but doesn't seem to have any tangible effect.
TBH I'm not really that bothered really.

Rachel Reeves - the shadow chancellor was asked if there would be cuts to government spending if Labour wins the next election.
Reeves admitted Labour would not be able to turn things around straight away - but has said there would be an "initial injection of cash" into public services. Asked about Labour ditching its £28bn green pledge, Reeves blamed former PM Liz Truss and ex-Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-Budget for affecting what an incoming Labour government can do and also said she's working with businesses to find investment. When asked by a Labour voter what the difference is between Labour and the Conservatives' fiscal policies, Reeves said her party plans to close tax loopholes to inject cash into public services.

A little late, but understandably this hasn't gone down too well:
Hunt says Scottish oil and gas industry is budget loser Even if their own message on oil and gas is a master example of confusion, the Nats are making hay, whilst the Scottish Tories are both fuming and disparing. SLab's somewhere in the middle, at least as far as I can tell. As long as the Tories are able to win the election in England, then the rest of the UK can go hang, as it were. People complain about the iniquities of the Barnett Formula (with justification), but how can Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make a go of trying to pay their way when their economies get trashed just to satisfy X party's voter base in England? All that does is increase the need for transfer payments from England to the smaller nations. Which satisfies no one. Mike.

Tens of thousands of migrants with failed asylum applications will 'be offered up to £3,000 to move to Rwanda'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ey-Rwanda.html Sunak's going to send these Migrants for a holiday to Rwanda at the taxpayers expense is he, the only problem with that is, when the money runs out these Migrants will be back here with their hand out begging for some more money, its going to be an another epic failure by Sunak and his brain dead MPs. The Bucket Plan. I have a better plan than that one, why doesn't someone fill a bucket with water and stick Sunak's head in it for an hour, rinse and repeat for all Tory MPs who thinks Sunak's plan is a good idea. Get a Border Force Bucket prepared and start sticking the crews heads in it, I'm sure they'll get the point of the message eventually, hmmmmm, the Civil Service needs a bucket as well. There has to be a penalty for failure and a bucket of water is it, the Cost?, how much is a bucket of water worth?, a lot cheaper than £3,000 I expect.

^ A major betrayal of all those relying on food banks and our own homeless, quite a number of who are ex-service personnel.
