UTTERLY RECKLESS
This is how much Rachel Reeves has increased borrowing 👇🏻
The blue bars are the forecasts for borrowing when Labour came in. The red bars are their current plan.
She’s planning to borrow over A QUARTER OF A TRILLION more over this parliament. (1/6) 🧵
@TrisOsborneMP Gilt prices falling is a bad thing, you realise that? It means people are selling Gilts. It makes Government cost of borrowing even greater.
The Portuguese league made Darwin Nunez and Viktor Gyokeres look like world-class strikers, made Joao Felix the fifth most expensive transfer in history and caused Ruben Amorim to win 3 league titles in 5 seasons.

One general and one specific takeaway from this about politics, elections and leaders:
Candidates win elections on hope for the future. As such, it has largely been (and likely will remain) true that popularity is maximal once elected and then wanes. It’s true in the UK and many other nations going back 40+ years absent some exogenous event.
Kier Starmer, specifically, is performing so horribly that he may go down as the Neville Chamberlain of our era - running a government defined by catastrophic misjudgment on every level.
That is quite something.
@StevenJonMiller@truemagic68 I cannot fathom why a pensioner with 5 private rental properties is still collecting a government pension. The triple lock needs to go, national insurance should be combined into income tax and the state pension should be means tested.
