They combine the 20mph and 30mph when publishing data. So we don't really know. |

The first quarter next year will be difficult, if it gets too difficult we are in emergency budget territory. |

It's many of the same who reacted against Duff. Do we have players who don't stand up and take responsibility when the going gets tough.
I always found that you needed two or three strong people in the dressing room 'who get stuck in' if there's a bad run of results. I'm not sure we have those at present? |

As I said in my OP it looked like there was quite a risk with the budget based on the rumours and speculation. The risk that the tax income would not come in and push up borrowing rates.
What has hit the fan is the triple hit on business and SMEs in particular; tax, regulation, increase in wages.
Borrowing rates are up, businesses are scaling back to accommodate the increase costs, inflation is ticking up to cover the increased costs and pay rises will reduce.
Increases in council tax, electricity and gas, insurance premiums and general inflation will reduce demand as disposable income get squeezed again.
If businesses adjust and Reeves does not see the expected increase in the tax take, borrowing rates will curtain expenditure on services and infrastructure spending - the original pre-budget identified risk
The triple hit on SMEs, who employ the most people in the UK is a big problem. This adds to the original risk. As the CBI have said we've got a situation that compounds the issue.

I know someone I used to work with who lied on his CV and got a Board Director job in a FTSE 100 business then got sacked when the truth came out.
He lied about his role on a previous job and one of his fellow Directors had a friend in that organisation.
The Truth usually comes out. |

Williams started with five at the back, abandoned it and things picked up, in effect he's gone back to five at the back with Grimes very deep.
As you say it smells of Martin's behaviour by persisting with things that don't work, without changing the defence every game which Martin added into the mix. |

The budget is going to push the economy backwards driving up dissatisfaction for the next year or two. |

Most people in the UK work for SMEs.
Lift the minimum wage, increase employer regulation and employer national insurance contributions all at the same time.
What did they expect.... |
