As you well know, the economic forecast is for 1% growth next year. 2.5% was a bigger figure than 1% when I went to school. However, Diane Abbot may want to argue with me about that (I do hope that you will agree with me, not her, on that).
Comparing this with May's target is ridiculous, by the way. We didn't have a war between Russia and Ukraine back then.

Civil disobedience is in the air over many things including energy prices and it wouldn't surprise me if a war to distract people and turn attention away from government and unite them against a different enemy will be a new PM's first call of order

The only war that is likely is one with the hard Left. Arthur Scargill tried that once, you know.

You misunderstand. Unfortunately, many people on the Left of politics cannot grasp that you can pay down debt by growing the economy. The well being of future generations is in much better hands with the Conservatives in power that if Labour were calling the shots. You know very well that they are the ones with the reputation of being high-spending and selling off all the family fortune to solve short-term problems.
