We need to ask where the Chancellor is getting the money from for the latest bribe being offered provided politicians vote for T. May's deal this week.
I suspect a fair whack of it will come from not paying WASPI women the pensions they thought they would get at 60.
This was being introduced slowly and reasonably until 2015 when the then Chancellor George Osborne accelerated it without any thought to the financial or practical pain it would cause, particularly as most WASPIs were given no official notification.
I've been wondering what the current Chancellor is doing with the £40,000+ per head minimum he is currently saving over 5 years and I've been hoping he was keeping some of it for when we do actually reach 66/7 (if the Tories haven't managed to shove it forward again).
But ah, I see it now. Some has already gone in bribes to the DUP (to vote for something a majority of the Northern Ireland people and businesses don't want); to bribes to get Labour MPs to switch sides to negate the votes of Tory rebels (you really couldn't make that up); or to pay the financial and legal costs of a disastrous attempted con (which fooled nobody) concerning a ferry company with no vessels and a harbour which wasn't fit to take them in the time scale.
Now - it seems - the Chancellor has a great pot of money to spare for bribes to our MPs to follow the Tories, albeit slowly, off the Brexit cliff, as opposed to being shoved into the no-deal abyss.
Probably only a fraction of it comes from WASPI savings, but I hope he remembers to keep a little back for those of us who were conned and misinformed for years. I'm not holding my breath, though.
Well done to all who are going to the march. In any other political era - bar war - this fractured, bungling, bribing government would have resigned by now.
