Does the article say that the words were taken from the Budget 2024 report…No.
Google the Editor of The Mail and ask him, better still threaten him with legal action if it is untrue.
No it does not. But you do.
No he’s for real trust me.
He will argue the most tenuous point until those cows come home, and he will blag it out even if he is proven wrong on something to try and sicken you.
He thrives on being right all the time…even when he isn’t, and is proven wrong.
His views are ‘accurate’ and anything he disagrees with is written off as ‘nonsence’ .
He trys to sicken you, and bore you, into submission…not so good at the former, but excellent at the latter.
But when you turn the tables on him, sicken him, and play him at his own game, you know that fact as he eventually pulls those blinkers of his down to the point where he ‘cannot see’ your posts, and ignores you, hoping you go away…
But me?.. I don’t , just for the hell of it.
I dedicate this track to Franglais who never ceases to entertain me.

Oh do I? The article refers in one paragraph to the exact words used by the OBR in their report, so sorry you went trawling through the whole report! Strange how the OBR is the OBR 365 days a year and does communicate with others and not just on the production of it’s report.
Advice given already, email the Editor if you are so convinced the article is untrue.
Sadly yes he is. Only has the ability to naively accept his “official sources and narratives” as fact and will instantly dismiss anything outside his political beliefs as “untrue” or “unreliable” if it comes from a source not to his personal liking.
Oh and an inability to accept he may sometimes be in the wrong by backtracking and trying to tie you up in knots on technicalities on wordplay - as witnessed in a few of the posts above this.

Done my own mini research on this guy, Matthew Goodwin, a recognised intellectual, a Professor of Politics no less, …
So good luck to our very own TN ‘professor of politics’ 
in rubbishing and discrediting this guy…no doubt he will attempt to, and ‘profess’ to know better, in favour of a far superior knowlege on these type of matters…after a frenzied attack of googling.
Anyhoo check out this guy’s opinion on the political status quo…although no mention of Rick Parfitt.
He focuses on the way the Southport atrocity was (mis) handled, with the perceived almost cover up, and selective news coverage, and the reactions.
Worth a read for the non blinkered and open minded, and those not confined within the shackles of political party official narrative .
This guy is right up my strasse with his well thought out opinions, a bit long winded but worth a read, check it out if you can be actually arsed.
Yep, 100% respect to the author for speaking the truth, Starmer wants to silence us all.
Starmer slams Tory leader candidates for Southport comments - BBC News
And I see the Labour MP seen clearly punching a guy multiple times in the street has yet to be charged. Maybe fast tracking the case would have been appropriate to set an example, just like the street fighting so called far right thugs were.
The usual wind and pi55 spouted from this govt, the obligatory reference to the ‘Last government’, the playing with stats to excuse the numbers coming over, and all the usual guff associated with these people.
When asked about deterrents,.she only mentions deterrents to the ‘criminal gangs’ not to the actual perpetrators.
I bet those wealthy and professional organised criminal gangs, must be shaking in their very expensive shoes at the Govt chucking money at a ‘new Border Force’.
Are some people actually swallowing all this crap?..what planet are they all on?
The invasion by stealth will just continue meanwhile, along with the strain on the economy and the UK infrastructure.
The silly cow could not even tell us when this weak limp proposal was intended to be seen to make a difference…take a guess.
The very first question in the interview was…
‘Can you really stop the boats’?
It could have been answered satisfactorily in one, and the interview terminated in 30 secs, by saying.
'‘Yes we can, we are completely removing the vastly attractive incentive, which in turn will turn it into a deterrent’
Job done.
But instead 10 minutes of rhetoric and slaver with no real substance.
You know damn well Franglais is frantically scrolling through Google trying to find some article from 1994 or something to try and discredit the guy.
Or maybe not…wait for it.
You ready?
I think I’m being ‘ghosted’ by Franglais.
(I think that’s the modern phrase,.what with me being ‘down with the kids’ and all that.

So it appears that amongst everything else going on that 2 Tier has now backtracked on his pledge when in opposition to never raise tuition fees and now in power has gone and done precisely that.
We all know (apart from one or 2 on here) that politicians from all parties lie through their teeth, but seriously has there ever been so many lies and incompetence in such a short space of time as the last 4 months?
I appreciate he currently has his hands full with trying to fast track the Manchester airport brothers and Mike Amesbury into prison but c’mon surely he can do better?
Edit to add: He also now has Dawn Butler to deal with after her disgraceful and racist comments towards Kemi Badinoch. Maybe we should give the guy a break after all, what with having to deal with all these things at once.
Seriously? Have any Ministers been accused of taking illegal bungs? Lying to Parliament? Lying to the Monarch? Breaking any laws?
Shock! The right wing media are shouting about the budget!
The media always moan, about all budgets.
Has income tax increased? Fuel? VAT?
Oh well, since he is an expert and a professor he must be right then.
Good to see that you blindly accept such official sources of information @robroy
Aaah the self appointed apologist for the Labour Party is back…AND he has acknowledged my existence.
I’m honoured.
So all the crap that everybody else sees and comments on is all fine and dandy, because…yawwwn ‘They aren’t as bad as the Tories’ yawwwwn.
Give it a rest ffs.
You are pathetic man, focus on the game in hand.
In your wannabe politician mode you have actually took to the tiresome routine adapted by your heroes…
Every question they are asked is pre empted by ‘The last 14 years/the last govt’…tiresome.
The Tories have gone !. ,
Is it such a blow to your pride and delicate ego to admit that you (even may) be wrong?
That you have finally took off those blinkers and seen what every body and their dog in this country see and know…
ie…
ALL these ■■■■ s are the same !!
As I said pathetic
And your attempt at humour with the use of pseudo hypocrisy just shows your total lack of self awareness.
I don’t know the guy from Adam, I merely pointed out his qualifications and credentials, because I knew as sure as eggs is eggs, that you would trawl the net in your childish way, to find some muck on him to trivialise and discredit him, which you have obviously done…unsuccessfully.
I notice you made no comments about his points though…surprise surprise.
Too close to home?
Does it hurt?
Hard to read the plain truth?
Must be wrong as it contradicts the official narrative.
Or are we back to the 50s B movie Robot…with all the sound effects.
You are unreal. As per usual you refuse to acknowledge what is right in front of your eyes and happening now and just revert to your usual hatred and attack of the Tories. We all know they were a shower of ***** and they lied, that is why they were voted out. I even referred to their lies in my post, oddly you have cut and pasted that bit out in your reply above. My point was the lies, backtracking and incompetence in “such a short space of time” i.e specifically the last 4 months. Hence why Starmers rating has gone from something like +11 to minus 38 in the shortest time possible.
Oddly no mention from you of the lies about increasing uni fee’s that he spent years in opposition denying he would do, no mention of the 2 tier police and justice I refer to. Karen off Facebook and that poor guy who killed himself were banged up pretty sharp - nothing yet on the Manchester airport attackers or Mike Amesbury. No mention of the increase in taxes they said would not happen, no mention of the mythical black hole in finances that they cannot seem to prove.
Pull your head out your backside, open your eyes and stop living in Franglais world.

I have read & heard various economists across a number of platforms in the last week saying what a disaster this budget will be going forward. Yes some were on GB News and Talk, those right wing leaning stations you despise, but I also heard some guy on BBC2 and another on Sky news saying similar. Last time I checked no-one was accusing those 2 outfits of being right wing!
@Newlion.
Even I am beginning to think we are 'alias posters.
So this is my latest conspiracy theory to kick off a rumour.
Are you actually me and I am posting unknowinglly under your name in my sleep? 
Well said anyway, could not agree more.
Where is that from?
Uni fees?
When he ran for leader of the Labour party in 2020, Starmer did speak against them.
There was no promise made about them in the Labour manifesto.
No promises made, so no promises broken.
The fees are rising by about the rate of inflation. That is necessary because Universities are clearly paying more for everything.
The Tory idea of just telling everyone to do more with less is unsupportable.
Stupidity masquerading as efficiency.
The Uni income has also fallen as fewer foreign students, who pay more and subsidise UK students, are coming here now.
I would say it is more a grip on reality and living in the real world. One of my good mates is a hard leftie, a proper socialist of the Jeremy Corbyn kind and even he said to me the other day when we met for a beer what a mess this Labour government are making of everything.
Ha ha ha ha ha. You even denying that now? It’s definitely out there. But I guess that you accepting that does not fit in with your blinkered narrative so it’s easier for you to stick your fingers in your ears again going la la la la la and pretend it’s not real.
