Wales vs Ireland and Super Tuesday

Well, we won, but only just. Nevertheless, a win is a win, and we'll take it gladly. I expect the euphoria will die down fairly quickly, especially as "Super Tuesday" looms.

I sincerely hope that this "mini" budget will have a greater positive impact than the last "real" budget: it needs to. We need decisiveness from the government and a budget that they can stick to. Implementing budget changes and then backtracking on them is much worse than not making the changes in the first place - for so many reasons. This "mini" budget needs to be a first step along the path to economic recovery.

A win is a win? In sport, yes. But in this case, we need a decisive victory - not just a win.
