He's the Opposition, he has to oppose :shrug:

It was annoying how he kept karping on about 2010, we don't even have the same Government as 2015, let alone 2010!

But some of the holes he pointed out were fair so far.

God he's like a living headache

I liked when he went full Gammon because the PM was playing with his phone instead of listening to him :joker:

Budgets pretty much always leave me worse off than before..despite how much its claimed I will be rolling in it :laugh:

Agree with TS, that apparently investing in the north solely because they voted Tory for once..is a bad reason to do it. Mind, even a bad reason for doing it does help, but yeah. Can't see anything changing here still besides more losing money/jobs. The North seems to barely even exist for those in power.

Always pissed me off that sanitary care stuff was/is classed as a ****ing luxury..

Frozen booze prices..thats definitely what we need up here, rather than job creation and huge investment!
