I Just Don’t Get It
There’s a cost of living crisis
affecting each and everyone
So the politicians had a chat
to see what could be done
They called a mini budget
and the nation hoped and prayed
The results were disappointing
the country was left dismayed
They chose to borrow more
to increase the national debt
Eyewatering amounts
a dangerous and reckless bet
Lower taxes for high earners
as those most in need suffer
Reduce stamp duty charges
as banks pull mortgage offers
Reverse higher NI payments
as the NHS fails us all
Deflate the value of the pound
as it goes into free fall
These are the direct results
of the mini budget plan
Please someone explain to me
the benefits if you can

Indeed Julie! Bemused & baffled (again!)
