Sunak’s Budget is ‘for the fairies’ because it assumes that Covid is over
His next job: because Sunak has just served up a Budget ‘for the fairies’ that is likely to fall flat on its face in a few short months.
It seems the phrase du jour is ‘for the fairies’.
Some daft Tory MP said nurses’ calls for pay increases were “for the fairies” – see my earlier story on that.
Now I see Richard Murphy of Tax Research UK has used the same phrase to describe Rishi Sunak’s budget.
He also said the Johnson government is “firing blanks” at every level.

Richard Murphy is right and yes as usual the fascist tories don’t have a clue! I didn’t realise the coronavirus had been sent message from fascist tories that the pandemic will end in June!!
Rishi Sunak doesn’t have a clue and yet he is Chancellor of the Exchequer – still never mind latest fascist tory myth is all those individuals who have been saving their money will magically decide to spend, spend and spend more!
Budget is full of holes and leaking like a sieve! Worst government for over a century!
