With the support of the Classical Liberals the governments budget is set to pass the house of commons.

Senior Labour MPs such as /u/Arichteabiscuit are up in arms in the Commons, giving passionate speeches and demanding nothing less of exact definite details of the budget. Anything less and they descend into outrage. But what’s fascinating is that the Shadow Chancellor, my counterpart, stands by his decision to dodge questions and telling me to await the budget. He proudly said at the Sunrise MQ’s that he was not giving me a sneak preview of the budget when I asked him about the direction he was moving taxation in. He told MP’s that specific plans will have to wait and throughout the session MPs in the House were none the wiser on the direction of Sunrise economic policy. It was clear to me at the time that the Shadow Chancellor was treating parliament with nothing but disrespect.

My question to Labour MPs, is where were they demanding parliament have such specific answers back then? The answer is that they don’t care about parliament or accountability but whatever suits their agenda the most. It is hypocrisy at its finest, they know if their man is at the treasury it’s fine to not even provide the slightest direction. In contrast to the shadow chancellor which could not even tell us the direction that taxes would move, I have informed the house we will be freezing income tax, national insurance and VAT. I have also informed the house of how we close the deficit by raising the carbon tax and reviewing welfare spending in the United Kingdom, these answers are far beyond what the Labour Party gave the house of commons during their time in government. Labour back in the 2010s opposed the coalition government’s move to raise VAT and argued this would negatively impact communities so I would be keen to see what what ARichteabiscuit would have to say, as their logic appears to imply that the government should provide full details on all policies at the moment of asking, even when a Government has only been around a matter of weeks and there hasn’t been time to finalise certain details, under the pretence of representing affected communities. Where were they then demanding the specific rate it would be raised to? Surprise Surprise they didn’t.

Labour MPs are getting restless and showing blatant opportunism in the House of Commons. They have no right to be angry at my detailed responses in contrast to the nonsense splurted out by the Shadow Chancellor.

Labour’s resident hothead, thePootisPower, who was thrown out of the House for swearing and disrespecting a Deputy Speaker when asked to withdraw wasn’t happy when his parties record was brought up and had no answer for his hypocrisy. This did not stop him from having the cheek to call someone else a petulant child. The reality is that the budget figures are still in the process of being finalised and the house will get to scrutinise them soon, when they are placed before the Souse.

The hypocrisy on display doesn’t stop there with Labour MP /u/apth10 supporting a question tabled by DUP member /u/greejatus on Ambercare calling it a “poison pill”. What he forgets is that Labour voted for the bill, so if it was a poison pill as described by apth10 himself then what does that say of his intelligence given he voted for it? Truly astounding. And then he decided to tell porkies as Labour often do arguing that Ambercare was somehow a Blurple policy despite the fact that I spoke and voted against it, and that it was implemented during the time of the Sunrise Government, enabled by Labour votes. Labour are banking on people not looking at their voting record and policies as if they did their claims would not stand up to scrutiny.

They complain about the £23 billion deficit yet voted against fiscal responsibility this term and were promising to rack up a deficit much larger than this, all of a sudden Labour want to talk tough on the deficit while promising billions of pounds on pointless nationalisations and spending money on public expenditure programmes like there is no tomorrow. Let’s be clear that Labour would run a larger deficit compared to £23 billion given their plans in sunrise were for a fiscal expansion compared to the status quo, so when they try to talk big on the budget deficit one should actually looking at their voting record and disastrous plans.

Labour may claim to stand for parliamentary scrutiny but only on the condition it does not apply to them while in government, this explains why they broke the law when it came to the climate change act and explains the rampant hypocrisy and double standards of the parliamentary Labour Party.
