Just scrap it. For everyone.

And then chop into pensions. Starting with those whose pension income excl. state pension is over the tax allowance.

They're unelectable as it is, if they adopted that they'd be destroyed as a party forever.

I kept flicking between his budget response and an old episode of Heartbeat. Its pretty important stuff.
Oscar Blaketon had a birthday and Gina had a baby and along the way a copper got knocked of his bike.

You're supposed to be massaging Di's feet, not watching bloody television..

His budget response is just terrible. He's a human random phrase generator, set to 11 on the angry meter.

"...and this year Mr Speaker, I'm going to deliver my budget response in the style of Captain Beefheart"

It was all nonsense anyway, yet again a fantastic platform to talk about policy, but all he did was highlight how disconnected from the public he is.

It was pathetic.

Akin to the responses from The Secret of Monkey Island.

I half expected "Purple Monkey Dishwasher"

Oh and I think that Deputy Speaker is a total knob

[Welshbeef]

Why didn't McDonnell respond as is the usual situation to budget speeches?

That's NOT the usual situation, is it?

Tdraditionally the Leader of the Opposition, currently Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn, rather than the Shadow Chancellor replies to the Budget Speech.

[mybrainhurts]

And he wanted a really good scream to clear the air...

Woeful.

He just trotted out the same old tired lines about zero hour contracts and soup kitchens. It was as though he was replying to a completely different speech.

The Tory front bench must have zoned out while thinking about what drink they were going to have in the Commons bar.

[andymadmak]

It was a bizarre rant. He kept talking about Hammond "failing" . For example, "He could have dealt with zero hours contracts, but he didn't so he's failed" or words to that effect. And all delivered in a shouty, somewhat spittle flecked, occasionally "st I've forgotten what I was saying" way.

[turbobloke]

He's still in shouty screecher sixth-form mode.

Makes you wonder if he ever interacts with real grown-ups i.e. non-politicians.

he doesn't have to shout much as everyone within his bubble agree with him and just nod 'yes master'

Jon Snow was good last night. He had a Corbynista on and she was going on about how great his responses were.

Mr Snow said that Jezza never once mentioned the broken manifesto pledge.

Madame Corbynista said that he only had a few minutes to read the budget and respond to it.

Jon said words to the effect of "so, he never listened to what was said, he just spouted off a prepared rant then."
