Is the way this Government is behaving normal for a Government?

I don’t remember briefings weeks before budgets telling us how bad they’d be, constant kite flying regarding tax raises almost immediately after one budget has ended, regularly finding ‘black holes’ that almost exactly match up to money they’ve just spent and constantly shifting definitions of who exactly those with ‘the broadest shoulders’ are.
YABU - Yes this has always happened
YANBU -No this is not ordinary

They all seem to be the same. I don’t like this current government and I didn’t like the last. It feels like what they say they will do, rarely tallies up with what they actually do.

I feel that we’re all full of hope at the start then as the months pass, the same happens. Life is as difficult as ever. The NHS is dire, housing is too expensive, basics are expensive and it’s just not a good standard of living for many. It’s been like this for years and I think the electorate as losing all hope.

I feel like the public are being gas lit tbh

I agree OP not normal. There a desperate and nervous energy to their every move.
