When 'stand by' = 'dump on'



Rishi Sunak is expected to pledge to "stand by" hardworking families and set out further plans to support people with the rising cost of living when he unveils his spring statement later.

It is understood the chancellor will unveil proposals intended to build "a stronger, more secure economy" as people across the UK face growing household bills which have been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine.

Nothing to do with absurdly futile government climate goals of course. Nothing to do with hosing money at an exaggerated pandemic either.

Pandering to the Greens is damaging your health, your wallet and your country.

It's disgraceful that British natural resources aren't being used efficiently!

Rishi will fiddle about with the books - such as they are - and we'll all still be poorer for his awful magaement of the economy.

It would have been worse if Labour were i/c...

Sunak is reducing the VAT on solar panels yay! Isn't that great news for lockdown recovering, hard working families!

I expect he will 'stand by' people by taking money from those who work and giving it to those who can't be arsed

Scrobs - yes it would have been worse with Labour, but escaping something worse than awful isn't much comfort.

Tammly - brilliant news. We could also get them to work at night by switching the security lights on.

Bucko - and transformation into a banana republic edges ever closer.

None of the 10 wind turbines I can see from my bathroom window, were turning this morning.

Tammly - imagine Net Zero on a still, dark and bitterly cold winter morning.
