“BULLSEYE” might be the last word that springs to mind when it comes to how the Tories have handled the economy.
“Cruel” and “vicious” were just some of the words used to describe the plans outlined by Jeremy Hunt in his Spring Budget on Wednesday.
However, in response to the chatter, the Conservative Party’s deputy chairman Lee Anderson came up with what he thought was the perfect way to demonstrate his support for his colleague.
In a bizarre video Anderson outlined his thoughts on the Budget with the help of a dartboard.
Not content with simply describing what he thought of Hunt’s Budget, the MP and GB News presenter felt the need to remind those on Twitter what he actually meant with a more visual display of his thoughts.

“People are asking me today about Jeremy’s Budget. Well I think he’s hit the bullseye. See if I can do that as well”, he said.
This was followed by Anderson throwing his dart before the camera panned to show it, yep you’ve guessed it, hitting the bullseye.
“There you go and I didn’t cheat once”, he added.
Many took to Twitter to respond to the video, with one user saying: “Lee Anderson feels likes someone playing a character."

The Jouker couldn’t possibly comment on the integrity of the Tories or whether or not Anderson did indeed cheat his way to such a well taken shot.
However, as one social media user said: “If you have to end with ‘and I didn’t cheat once’ … I would suspect that you may have cheated, at least once.”
“Wild times we live in”, added someone else.
In a bid to add to the pub atmosphere created by the dartboard, it also looks as though a few cans of Stella can be spotted in the background of the video.
As always, it’s good to see the Tories taking things seriously.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
