The ripples of #JeremyHunt's scorched earth #AutumnStatement have reached #localgovernment pretty quickly... this is starting to look like the wilful hobbling of the country in the hope that the ensuing disaster(s) around the public sector will so damage the next Govt. that that the #Tories can claim to be our saviours after a one term Labour Govt. fails (for whatever reason) to be a salvation.
It immoral #politics of the wreckers! They're just narcissistic nihilists!

When discussing tbe #autumnstatement, Fiona Bruce asked the #bbcqt audience to put their hands up if they felt confident about the future
Only 1 hand was raised.
That person said how debt incurred from covid and the Ukraine war has to be repaid.
Household economics are not the same as a nation's economics.
How many more times do we have to say this!

"Debt is coming down. No it isn’t. That’s just a lie. We’ve beaten inflation. No we haven’t. It’s two-and-a-half times higher than the target rate. He was bringing down the tax burden by a record amount. No he wasn’t. The tax take was on course to reach a record high." John Crace

Jeremy Hunt's #AutumnStatement was a state-sanctioned assault on the meagre benefits safety net that millions rely on to keep going.
Well, these people aren't just statistics; they're voters. And there are far more of them than there are of your fans.
BYE NOW!

There is an urgent need for our politicians to have the courage to tell us that repairing our broken society and making it fit for the 21st century will cost money and we need to be prepared to pay the taxes to pay for it | Peter Wrigley

"Opening his speech in Parliament, the Chancellor congratulated his Government on its decision to allow more oil and gas drilling in the North Sea"
That tells you most of what you need to know.

"Thanks to his brilliance, he had managed to create extra fiscal headroom. Largely thanks to inflation and capped departmental budgets – hooray for inflation! – he had extra money to spend. So he was going to squander almost all of it on tax cuts and let public services die. Austerity 2.0." John Crace

#AutumnStatement Carrots for the Rich. Sticks for the Poor.
Spent yesterday in Stevenage town centre. NHS have outsourced pre-consultancy eye checks to a private company. Service pared to the bone in old office space. There's money in the churn.
The pedestrian precinct is pawn brokers, vapes, 2nd user mobile phone repair and empty shops.
It's grim on the margins down South, not just in the North.

Today’s #AutumnStatement strikes me as an election budget. Most of it consists in laying landmines for Labour over whether they will repeal the measures, or removes fiscal headroom thereby guaranteeing a second wave of austerity—and a one-term Labour government. #Torynomics
-
In other #AutumnStatement news... #JeremyHunt has not increased funding to the #NHS.
So, the any place for solving #NHScrisis remain un(der) funded.
Given the increasing public awareness of the founding problems in the #healthservcie, one can only presume that patients have been abandoned on the basis that anyone exposed to the NHS will now unlikely vote Tory in anyway... better to target money at #pensioners directly!

We are still living in a pandemic that has been and still is a mass disabling event as more and more people are disabled with Long-Covid. These attacks on disabled people are part of the movement away from acknowledging the reality of the pandemic and its consequences and instead bringing in policy that will make it harder for disabled people to have limited financial support to not work. It is also part of divide and rule tactics where disabled people are once again - like after the 2008 bank bailouts and subsequent ideological austerity policies - blamed for the political difficulties the government is experiencing, especially in the run up to a general election, alongside importantly trying to direct anger away from the injustice and inequalities central to late capitalism.

Yet more ideological attacks on disabled people in today's UK government's autumn statement, which sadly creates so much anxiety and fear (I didn't sleep well last night because of it.) This shit is really hard. Solidarity with disabled comrades. Now, more than ever, we need to come together and be there for each other. Through solidarity, mutual aid and care.

“Vandalism. It’s not chaos. Chaos would imply it was all somehow random. It isn’t. It’s entirely deliberate. We’re actively trying to wreck the country so that we can blame Labour for not fixing it when they win the next election. Gosh, is that the time? I must go. I hope I haven’t said anything that will get me the sack.” John Crace

CW: UK Politics: The Tories Relationship With Financial Insitutions
The Financial Takeover of Government
As the country faces another period of squeezed living standards, Sam Bright explores how the masters of high finance have been welcomed into the heart of power.
Ministers have actively nurtured a co-dependency with private financial institutions over the last 12 years – a relationship that has seen low taxes, diminished regulations and ‘fiscal responsibility’ prioritised over the needs of ordinary Brits. Hunt’s statement was merely the latest expression of this political subservience to the masters of high finance.

The 2 year delay in implementing the social care cap will cost my mother £70,000. Clearly in the eyes of this Government, an 87 year old woman in residential care is someone with the broadest shoulders, who can bear the heaviest load.

Penny Mordaunt looks a little less bored and has cheered up now that she has more room on the front bench and has clear space between her and Dominic Raab.
