Summary

I share my thoughts on Labour's Spring Statement. Is Rachel Reeves just Starmer's voice on x 1.5? Can they blame global headwinds or their own hot air? Should they focus on child poverty or the fact Mel Stride said 'Fiddled'. All these questions and more will be answered. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.
