The UK is seen as a safe bet because it has a reasonably stable economy with a good balance between public and private ownership and borrowing levels that are credible - perhaps under Labour these factors would have been significantly negatively impacted which would have changed the outside world's view of lending to the UK

The Conservatives made this argument during the 2010 election campaign.
It was later while Osborne was in charge and doing austerity, that the UK's credit rating got downgraded.
Also if you want the UK to be seen as a safe bet with a stable economy, why would you even consider no-deal Brexit!

The OBR described it as the biggest Budget giveaway since 1992.
1992 was when Norman Lamont was Chancellor, that was the Tories pre-1992 election spending splurge.
Now you might have been led to believe that Labour were the big spenders, so its interesting to see that no Budget from Gordon Brown or Alastair Darling was as generous as either this one from Rishi Sunak or that Norman Lamont one.
The austerity argument was always that it was reckless for Labour to have 'bankrupt the country' by spending too much just before a recession hit. Rishi's spending decisions look odd when judged by the same standards.

It is a democracy people voted to leave - to say they didn't know a no-deal was a possibility is not true - this was all the MPs discussed for 3 years prior to the last GE and the Tories on the back of Brexit got a huge majority.
We were downgraded because of the government yielding to pressure to increase spending on health and social care - so the likes of Moodys prefer austerity!!

Are you seriously suggesting the UK electorate didn't realise there was the possibility of a No deal exit at the last GE? Even for you that is an idiotic comment

You really haven't got a clue, have you.
The Corona virus could do us all and COULD certainly see governments fall if thy dont come up with the correct response.
The comments by Johnson on "nobody losing out", sounded great at the time but, were ill measured.
There is some serious, serious cack to happen around the world and while any government has to and will protect essential services, the offers of help to small and large business, wont go further than allowing a small delay in paying over tax receipts and possibly help with loans. However, this wont save any business in serious strife.
The 1000's of cafes, coffee shops, nail bars, which are the only functioning parts of the high street, will disappear like ice cubes in a teapot.
Travel companies are screwed and major manufacturing too, will be affected.
Unfortunately, you dont appear to have seem to have considered this before making yet another of your usual, ill thought out quip's

| History will look back on the recent giveaway budget bonanza, with no meaningful provision for the impact of this crisis on business or workers, and wonder what the actual f**k BJ and his insane clown posse were thinking - or indeed if they were thinking at all.

I wonder how many out of the 20,000 new police officers have been trained - we could need them when the rioting starts

I thought they provided £30bn - or was I mistaken? If you listen to labour the government should increase SSP so nobody is financially impacted by being off sick - where is that money going to come from - McDonald when asked simply said well the government will have to find it!!
