Boring, let's go back to trying to get Rachel Reeves sacked.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Over live to our political correspondent in Westminster.

- Chris, Keir Starmer has a point, doesn't he that the Brexit he strongly opposed has been an economic disaster, and that the only way out of where we are is hard negotiation with tough trade offs?
- Trevor, that's not what I'm hearing from political insiders.
- What are you hearing? That Brexit has been great?
- No, forget all those fancy arguments about trade friction, who's to say who's right about any of that? The real issue is Rachel Reeves.
- Wasn't the Budget last week?
- Trevor, there's a saying in politics that a week isn't a very long time in politics, so the Budget was in effect today.
- So what's the issue? Plunging pound, like after the Brexit vote? The markets have discovered something very bad in the small print?
-Not exactly. The real issue is that the markets reacted fairly well.
- Isn't that good?
- No, the real issue is that reaction was fairly positive because Rachel Reeves misled the public about the economy being bad.
- Surely politicians manage expectations all the time, Chris?
- The real issue is, did she mislead?
- OK. So presumably, as in lots of politics, you pay your money and take your choice, right? That's usually how we do politics on this channel, right?
- No, Trevor, she definitely misled. It's my job to make these judgements.
- Like Boris Johnson's 40 new hospitals? That was a lie, right?
- Well, Boris Johnson would say that upgrading an X-ray department was just like building a new hospital, others might disagree, it's not my job to make these judgements,
- Well OK then. But presumably what's in the Budget is a matter of fact, rather than a matter of judgement it's not up to you to make. I hear there was a massive move to reduce child poverty, and some unpopular tax rises, but also some reasonably popular tax rises, like on gambling and very expensive homes?
- The public doesn't care about that shit, in my judgement, which I'm making because it's my job to make judgements.
- That's very convenient for you, Chris. Perhaps you'd like to sum up.
- Beleaguered Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, failed to move the conversation on to Europe today...
- Hang on, he's failed to move it on to Europe because you're pushing nonsense about the Budget, surely?
- Are you questioning my judgement?

As mentioned earlier by TWA, I'm wondering how long Reeves can stay in post before she faces "resigning because it's a distraction" because of the baying hordes of the Fourth Estate, the broadcast media and their Tory sponsors.

If ever these fuckers needed reining in, it's now.

I think it'd be rather funny were someone to hack sackreeves.com? Give Kemikal a taste of her own medicine.

[Abernathy]

Reeves isn't going to resign. Not a chance. Not least because if she does, then Starmer falls too. Not going to happen.

I sincerely hope you're right, Abers. There's nothing more the cunts would like than a BOGOF on scalps.
