Just when you thought it was safe to go out again … Most people who care about their sanity will have spent much of Wednesday hiding under a duvet. It’s one thing to endure a budget that is pretending to be something it isn’t. That’s insult enough.
It’s another scale of hell, though, when the gaslighter-in-chief who is delivering this nonsense is Jeremy Hunt. Someone so obviously out of his depth as chancellor, it’s painful to watch. A man so bad at his job, he has had to pay more than £100,000 so far to stay in it. Not the best investment he’s ever made as he’s likely to lose his seat at the next election. Hardly the ideal advertisement for Jezza’s financial savvy.
