But otherwise, fuck Mason.
I have a soft spot for Rutland. Nowhere that produced The Rutles can be a bad place.
(Actor who played) Barry Wom went on run a pub in Cambridge
They're not really from Rutland :D
Rutland Weekend TV deserves another run, possibly one of the best post Python TV projects.

You could argue it isn't even that much better than implied. The OBR still see a 41% risk that the fiscal target will be missed, even with the extra headroom that everyone told she needed. There's a (real) story to be written along the lines of whether it's enough.
Yes argued very easily, bond rates are still higher than the European average. Rachel must have thought Santa has come early with this piffle.

Oh no what's Reeves going to do now this political heavyweight's on her case :roll:

See also Swinney's opportunistic change from praising the UK Government's Grangemouth plan to complete outrage when the UK Government became unpopular. He's a shit. He doesn't like that the unelightened English have done something about child poverty, despite having less money than he has in Scotland.

And the "misleading" done by Reeves compares rather favorably to the misleading done by his mates in the Indyref. "Oil just a bonus" etc.
