Day 162 of the grown-ups being in charge – how’s it going?
Well, we’ve given away sovereign British territory, pensioners are freezing to death, we’ve annoyed the president-elect of our biggest ally, there’s a stampede of private school kids heading into the already oversubscribed state sector, 10,000 millionaires are expected to leave the country this year – a record.
Farmers are killing themselves because of the inheritance tax rate, borrowing is up, public sector pay is up, inflation is up, companies are laying people off, business sentiment and recruitment are at the lowest level since the pandemic, and we’re gambling our economic future on flaky renewables.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister doesn’t own any of his own clothes – oh, and news today that the economy shrank again this month by 0.1 per cent. What a treat to have those grown-ups back in charge.
Mark Dolan says Britain is ‘broke in more ways than one’

The economic figures are extraordinary.
Earlier in the year, growth was 0.7 per cent under the evil Tories who crashed the economy, apparently, and that growth is now 0.1 per cent.
And we are flirting with recession. But you know what? On this Friday evening, I actually don’t mind.
I’m not bothered by the fact that Britain has descended into a socialist doom loop of ever higher taxes, higher borrowing, and lower growth because Britain has got its first woman Chancellor, and that’s all that matters to me.
She’s got rid of the men’s urinals in the treasury and hung up women’s art. That is the real change Britain needs.
The one chink of light from this Labour Government could be their efforts to build 1.5 million homes before the next election, as announced by Sharon Stone tribute act Angela Rayner.
But there was even a fly in that ointment with doubts that they’ll hit that figure.
And with claims that five out of every seven of any new homes built will go to immigrants, this might be the worst Government in history, which is why Labour won’t win next time and can’t win next time.
But when whoever takes over, possibly Prime Minister Nigel Farage, if you look at the direction of the polls, how much of a country will there be left to govern?
Britain is broke in more ways than one.
