What a load of bollocks.
Made the Ministerial code a core tenant of this government is just laughable.

we cannot afford the political myths that pretend the government is financially constrained like a household or a commercial bank.
The government's job is to ensure we have enough money in the system to let everyone live, work and care without exceeding the limits of what the economy can supply.
He certainly was!
Unfortunately, I lost him some years ago. I had a couple of Percherons too, a gelding and a mare. The mare was a 'Petite' Percheron (16 hh) with a sweet nature. She was great between the shafts or under the saddle. The gelding was 17.2, but built like a Saracen armored car. ๐
Exactly this!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐

Many years ago, I bought a Clydesdale as yearling. He ended up measuring 18.1! ๐ณ๐
A really cheeky chap he was too.
He'd wait till I had his collar half way on, then flick his head up and send the collar flying! ๐๐คฃ

If 'just doing your job' involves taking money as bribes from genocidal foreign powers to back amendments in Parliament to proscribe protest groups, your job isn't really a job, it's a criminal enterprise, and you've been recruited because you're a greedy crook with no moral code.

It is nothing new, that a government fails to reach its own targets.

This was a crock of shit from day one.
For a start, there aren't enough skilled and semi-skilled construction workers to accomplish it.
Now this absurd target is being used as leverage by big developers to build on even more greenbelt in order to boost profits.

Indeed!
I remember when my first wife asked me where I'd been all evening and I told her the truth, in that I'd been in bed with a gorgeous young lady.
She just laughed nastily, told me to stop talking rubbish, and accused me of spending the evening drinking with a very disreputable friend.
Hey ho.
