    According to the OBR the government needed to borrow £372 billion to see them through to April 2021, but that was before the new autumn lockdown support measures had been taken into account, god knows what the final bill will be, £500 billion, £600 billion, god knows who will be paying for it and how long it will take to pay it off, but all you hear from Lefties like Burnham, Starmer and our very own resident lefty BT is whinging, whining, carping and moaning. It's clear none of those three have any intention of picking up the tab do they.

    Exactly Sinkov; if you think austerity was bad wait until paying for all this lot kicks in; its going to take years!! Remember ALL the lefty lot wanted this spending and MORE. I am not saying a lot of it is not necessary given what initially happened. When the pain of repaying comes full circle and you cant have XYZ social spending. Plus the addition of little minds and little memories which dim with the help of the mainstream media, just remember the politicians who then cry "nothing to do with us" as the big taxes come along and the pay packet looks and is a whole lot smaller.

    It would help cut costs enormously if this Cabal of Conservative and Unionist Cabinet Minister Cretins would stop doling out billions of pounds worth of contracts to their cronies and besties.

    Look it up, it's a fortune.

    I am really enjoying this spend, spend, spend and nobody has yet realised that this will be Karma as far as the Tories are concerned.
    Remember when they first were elected under David Cameron and the retiring Labour Chancellor left a note to say there was nothing left?

    I'm sure that, when Labour take over the reins at the next election, the Chancellor will have great pleasure in leaving a note saying "You left us with nowt so we wanted to reciprocate and then some!"

    You know Sub I think I'll vote Labour at the next election, in the hope they get in, and then they can try to sort the mess out. It should be highly entertaining.

    sinkov---it makes no difference how I cast my vote in my constituency because a monkey with a red Labour t-shirt would get in.

    It will continue the entertainment though watching them sort out the post pandemic Brexit deals.
    I just hope I live that long ----it's better than watching the tele!

    Just had another thought about this and that is if the Green Party got in because all this lockdown and reduction in flying etc. must be working wonders for their agenda so they could campaign with that in mind and guarantee to keep the world a "better" place whilst rattling their tins to try to sort out the financial deficit.

    I edited to add that the Chinese economy at the start of 2021 is forecast to be much healthier than it was at the start of 2020 ----Quelle surprise!

    It's the opposite here Sub, no matter which way I vote the monkey in the Blue T shirt gets in. You do have a point about the Greens though, this all fits their agenda perfectly. Just co-incidence ?
