"People gave their verdict then, we don't need another one."
Asked how long a generation was, the chancellor said: "Certainly not 12 years."
So we're not a union of equals after all 🙄

No independence referendum if SNP wins majority, Reeves says
The chancellor has refused to support a second vote if the SNP wins a majority of seats in May.

Whilst she meant it as a joke perhaps she should actually look a bit more closely at his finances. 😉

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

Interesting! What we're seeing with all this new data is that the Brexit damage is only getting worse as time goes on. Companies aren't "adjusting", they're either leaving, downscaling or going under. From manufacturing to services to culture to farming and fishing, the decline is snowballing.
