I don’t know what you expect the man to do, it is convention that no major budget decisions are made by an existing PM while an election for a replacement PM takes place.

Some people like yourself like to paint the picture that nothing is happening to help people who are struggling. So what is the £1,200 support for lower income families, then? Scotch mist?
Old Boy, to believe your first sentence you must be on the Scotch mist but it's too early for me to join you!

The man had a 75+ seat majority so the Opposition couldn't get rid of him or delay his legislation. It had to come from within the Party which it eventually did.
