Sunak Stands By Us (Just Not Very Close)

I do wonder how the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Richi Sunak, a millionaire who is married to a billionaire, could possibly understand what it is like to find your food and utility bills trebling and yesterday we found out, he can't.
First off the idea that he helping the man and woman in the street by cutting taxes doesn't quite ring true when he is actually raising them to the highest level since the 40's, that 36.3% of your pay gone before it even sees the inside of your bank account.
A new tack from the Government is to not let a good war go to waste and deflect the blame the rising prices, 7% inflation and falling living standards on what is happening in Ukraine but anyone with even the shortest term memory lapse can remember that things were going South a long time before Russia declared war.
The fuel duty cut of 5p a litre was pretty much wiped out before he had even finished speaking as anyone who has stopped at a petrol station recently will know, it has gone up 3p this past week alone
He did raise the amount at which National Insurance would be paid by £3000 but failed to mention the 1.5% rise in national insurance contributions but he did end the statement by saying that 'The work starts now' but i could have sworn that Conservatives have been in power since 2010 so what have they been doing for the past 12 years?
As for Johnson, he probably can't believe his luck as one disaster seems to come along to bury the last one, self damaging Brexit disguised by Covid, lackluster Covid response overtaken by Partygate and now that's been knocked aside by the War in Ukraine.
With even the right wing press howling at rage at Sunak's sleight of hand, i'm sure over the next few days enough ministers will be rolled out to do interviews to clarify everything and assure us Sunak didn't actually do what we've all seen him do today.
