it surprises me that some people think that we are onto a winner and that somehow this dog's dinner of a chancellor has given us a leg up,

fools, we're getting less, we go shopping, we get less, we get less gas for our cash, less electricity, less petrol, less enjoyment and why bother to say there's a one penny reduction in income tax on the way, we might not be here in 2024.

Even the fortune-tellers gave up telling fortunes
when everyone's fortunes seemed so unfortunate,
but they should have seen the writing on the
crystal *****,

'none so blind as them that won't see'
