If someone doesn’t care that Boris lied about not being told directly about Chris Pincher, fair enough. If someone doesn’t care that he lied about the NHS getting £350m a week from Brexit, fair enough. If someone doesn’t care that he lied about there being no cross-border checks after Brexit, fair enough. All whilst he was Prime Minister.

But no, let’s just focus on what the current Chancellor said about what happened before she was in office (all the while overlooking Boris’ shining record of lying before he was PM).

What Boris did or did not do had NO effect on me, so I don't care. In the end if didn't effect you, why would you?. Her knowledge, work experience etc, does effect her decisions so will effect me.

Labour's NI hikes for employers are going to ramp all this up even higher, meaning "hard working people" are going to bear the brunt, as expected.

We all know that these price increases will appear in all forms of commerce, from products to services, and costs will be passed down to the final buyers.

Don't think labour has grasped this.and definitely Richard hasn't
