A Job not Benefits - Update

BBC News: Reports " The chancellor has warned against allowing Britain's benefits bill to balloon while not offering young people opportunities. "

Let's Get Real:

The Chancellor of the Exchequer could be Conservative, the problem is that the Labour backbenchers will never cut the welfare budget, they refused under Sir Keir Starmer, what will be they like after the budget, its either tax hikes or more borrowing, we haven't come to the promised increase in the defence budget, what if Russia invades a NATO country, that would mean that any talk about social care will be thrown in to the long grass! It's the unexpected events that throw you off course, and WW3 is such an event.  The Labour Government has not got the people ready for war, its coming folks.  Putin needs a diversion from the Ukraine, he has to get the timing right, he needs Trump in the Oval, an appeaser of the 1st order.

John Healy New Chancellor - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.18pm post the following, " John Healey named chancellor "

Lets Get Real:

Thus this shows what a principled Resignation gets you, this blog thought that Healy would get his old job back as Defence Secretary when he was walking up 10 Downing Street.  This a plum of an appointment, but also means that Healey will have to find funds for Starmer's Defence plan, and make it stick to keep the Military in the MOD happy.  Also the new PM want to end rough sleeping, that is the best thing he could come up!  This will not work, because rough sleepers have various reasons for not going to shelters, they are on drugs or have dogs or other mental problems.  Our new PM the boy wonder thinks he can spend half his time in Manchester, the World does not wait for politicians to get their act together, what if Putin tries something to test the new PM and NATO.  The Civil Service will make sure he attends leaders Summits, he think he has free time, he cannot spend half his live on trains and cars going to Manchester.   This blog can see a crash in political fortunes to the boy wonder, he might have charisma, but will he be a good WAR LEADER, should Putin try something in 2030 before an expected UK ELECTION.  All political careers end in failure, you have to be very lucky for that not to happen, just ask Sir Keir Starmer.

UK Defence Secretary Resigns over Funding - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 12.23pm post the following, " Healey says he has 'no other option' but to resign "

Let's Get Real:

John Healey has done the honourable thing, he says in essence that Starmer promises on Defence cannot be trusted.  Interesting what will Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting say, what will be their policy on Defence, its the 1st duty of Government to defend the Realm, time for Sir Keir to go, his time is up.
