This is a normal post Oh that note again...
It’s actually a tradition for outgoing chancellors to leave notes like this for their replacements.

I expect Theresa left one for Boris too, on the lines of “sorry, there’s no majority left”.

This is a normal post Leaving a note for successors may be traditional, the puerile and irresponsible content was not.
Liam Byrne, who left the note, was never chancellor.

This is a normal post Irresponsible only in the sense that it gave the tories political fuel
Despite the fact that such notes are good humoured jibes between rivals and not meant to be used for political purposes

This is a normal post You really don't know what you're talking about, just making up bullshit excuses for shitty behaviour.
You thought the note was from an outgoing chancellor FFS.

This is a normal post So I did.
In fact he was chief secretary to the treasury. I still fail to see what was so reprehensible about it, beyond the political fallout.
