Rishi Sunak, in the final third of his statement, crossed over from reassuring and sensible to peacocking “aren’t we the bestest?”. Got the tone on this one quite wrong. The first political bum note I’ve seen him hit.
Sunak keeps saying how “generous” he‘s been. He keeps using that word. He seems to be struggling to reconcile hawkish fiscal ideology with the scale of this crisis.
It isn’t about generosity. It’s about trying to limit an economic catastrophe. It’s not “a kindness” by the gov’t.

I wonder if there is another gov’t in the whole world that has used an information press conference on the #COVIDー19 pandemic to announce a tax rise.
