I spoke at length about the Spring Budget and the woeful economic situation. A couple of years ago, I made a comparison that the Government were rather like those wicked characters the Warleggans in the period drama “Poldark”. I did not quite realise that that was a premonition on my part because once again we have a Budget that benefits the rich on the backs of the very poor. In Jeremy Hunt's own words, “Independence is always better than dependence.” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
