After days and days of negative press and chatter about income tax going up, complaints on Mumsnet and across the media, today’s reports are that idea might be dropped and now she’s being accused of rattling the markets and making the cost of borrowing increase.

Honestly, genuine question- what can she do?

What can she do? Do what always used to happen, say nothing about anything until she gives the budget. No drip feeding, no leaks, nothing.

speculation helps no one

Why state “fully funded and fully costed” if it’s a lie.

Of course there will be backlash.

Nope. Feel really sorry for her

we want things and we don’t want to pay for them so we will scream and scream and scream and make ourselves sick and then complain there is no one looking after us

she does need to fix the housing market and that means people not making hundreds of thousands simply by owning a house long term
