I think the government were accused of raising too much money in the Budget to give themselves a bit of leeway so this should be ok. Mortgage rates are down as is inflation so two positives there to balance the negatives of growth (lack of) and the unemployment rate.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
U-turn alert!
Quote:
U-turn over business rates hike for pubs expected in coming days, Sky News understands
Sky News deputy political editor Sam Coates has been looking into the potential risk to the hospitality sector with upcoming business rate hikes.
A variety of factors, including revaluations and the ending of COVID-era support, means hospitality venues are seeing their bills potentially set to rise by more than a 100% in the coming years.
Sam has now heard that a rescue package that could help with this is coming in the next few days - but only for pubs.
This leaves others, like hotels, potentially exposed to the uplifts.
As Sam mentioned on this morning's Politics at Sam and Anne's, it poses a big political headache for the prime minister and the chancellor.
It comes as Sam revealed earlier this week that there was "ongoing cabinet-level opposition" to the hike.
"Rachel Reeves' colleagues are not happy about it," he said.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
U Turn on Pub rates
U Turn on winter fuel allowance
U Turn on Waspi Women
U Turn on Farm inheritance tax
U Turn on Welfare Reform
U Turn on Grooming Gang enquiry (though I still doubt it will actually happen)
No conviction.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
I'm not sure a change of 10% actually counts as a U turn.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Brexit opinion is changing in part because, being morbid, people are dying, and few Remain voters are changing their mind.

Farm inheritance tax U-turn hasn't done them any good either because it didn't exempt the richest ones who've been leading the charge.
