The financial situation was caused by Covid and the Ukraine/Russia war, so I agree with you that Labour was not responsible for that.

Not sure I follow you there. Brexit was a good thing for us, but the problem was that the government failed to implement many of the measures that would have made it work. Rishi’s heart certainly wasn’t in it, and we are still saddled with EU regulations, which should have been abolished early in the life of the administration.
But what exactly is your argument about an ‘aging non productive population?
Don’t blame the elderly for any of this. They’ve done their bit, but what about the lazy so-and-sos who refuse to work and who are content to claim benefits instead?

What I do agree with is that Labour need time to put this right. However, my confidence that this will happen has been tested by the decisions that they have been taking since getting to power. For example, did Rach really understand the implications of increasing employers’ NI contributions? How exactly will that promote growth?

What are you saying? Rich pensioners? Do you know any?

That’s just daft.
