Day 964

I'm getting on for 25 now - no age to still be hanging around at home.

Budget today (stupid day/time of year for it eh?) Nothing on drink but 10p on fags, probly 40p on rolling baccy so leaving me 80p down per fortnight. No point giving benefit bonuses for getting work - what about a 10p yearly tax on all employers of over 20 people for each unemployed person in the constituency? That'd be £500 per employer per year in Mugsborough and would encourage them to take more people on.

But I forget. The Tories who rebelled on the Europe bill have had the whip withdrawn. Technically the government is in a minority of 2 or 3. The first time they've been a minority government since 1979. I know it's only technical but it's a sign. Dare we say El Alamein?
