Re: if it ain't BoZo
I don't think it matters who sits in the PM's chair at the moment. The 25% increase in government borrowing during the pandemic is going to restrict their spending options. From a Conservative perspective, maybe it would be better to let B.J. preside over a couple of years of tax rises, then replace him in time for the next election.
If we do get an early general election it'll need the SNP and Labour working together to kick out the Conservatives. But, I think the price demanded by the SNP will be too high. So, anyone's guess who will actually be able form a government.
Just my opinions,
Keith.
