SPR 20 Sep 5:25pm, 20 Sep 2024 46,186 posts	0 SPR In the article TRO linked, I just saw it said Starmer has the lowest approval rating in recent times other than Truss?! I suppose with this story, plus the doom mongering which we won't actually know the details of before the budget in October it makes sense. If the budget doesn't have some good news, it might stay low for a while.
SPR 20 Sep 5:31pm, 20 Sep 2024 46,187 posts	0 SPR From the article: "That all this should be taking place in the final weeks of a three-month scare buildup to the budget seems at best unfortunate, and surely something that either one’s chief of staff or political adviser or tailor should have spotted as a danger area. Even while he was wanging on about his corporate hospitality, Starmer was declining to discuss next month’s doom budget on the basis that, “I don’t want to risk putting the fear of God into people.” Well, it’s a bit late for that. Labour took office and immediately declared things to be so dire that they were going to have to do awful and painful things to combat them – but will have left it three months before they finally explain what those awful and painful things are. This, as the former chief economist to the Bank of England Andy Haldane and many others have pointed out, has created a sense of “fear and foreboding and uncertainty among consumers, among businesses, and among investors”"
