Interested in U.K. politics (centrist dad), #Brexit was the most stupid thing our country has ever done. Semi retired after sales/marketing/management. Teach people about wine π· now. Also like classic rock πΈand old diesel trains.

This points to an election in summer 2028.
That was my take listening to the budget, compared to the predictions of apocalyptic doom, it was notable for being a very non-radical budget. Obviously some necessary fiscal tightening, achieved mainly through delayed tax rises (that might never actually happen) with some minor targeted spending

If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to:
Paid holidays
Sick pay
Safer working conditions
Human Rights
Workers Rights
Unions
NHS & healthcare
Social care
Minimum wage
Among many other things.
