Genie Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 You have to admire Boris’s determination not to change his ways. Criticised for going on holiday earlier this month in the middle of a crisis he’s gone on holiday again this week. He is out of the door in 2 weeks but felt he needed to have a second holiday in 3 weeks whilst on the PM payroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Remember the stories about him only wanting to stay on because it'd be inconvenient to relocate his wedding party? Looks like that was spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Quote Conservative leadership candidate Liz Truss said British workers needed "more graft" in leaked comments. In the recording, published by the Guardian, Ms Truss suggested Britons lacked the "skill and application" of foreign nationals. Labour said her comments were "offensive" and "effectively brand British workers as lazy". The foreign secretary did not deny making the comments and said productivity needed to improve. Still, Brexit still worth it for the sovereignty. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted August 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2022 According to Truss we are lazy and need to work harder. Said as the PM takes another holiday during a cost of living crisis. Whilst where we’re all being paid less and less for more work. Because the government did so little to pre-empt fuel costs. And because their Brexit bulls**t meant that all the foreign workers we relied on have left the country. And while people are struggling or are going to struggle to afford food, fuel and heating. Because energy costs have increased by 400%. I'm trying to think of another government that has so brazenly taken the everloving piss out of the population that in theory gives them power. Nope. Drawing a blank. F**k Truss, and F**k the tories. I've voted for them in the past, but they are just pissing on us and calling it rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 We have applied to join CPTPP. In theory, I don't really have a problem with this. A free trade agreement with a relatively large block of the world's economy. What I'm really not sure about is why this large trading block that comes with its own very intricate rules that impact our legislation and standards is ok, but the EU is not ok?

AshVilla Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 So Labour have come out with their costed cost of living plan re: energy bills. The Tories will need to match/improve on this now right otherwise any slim chance they had of being re-elected will go up in smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If accurate freezing the price cap will bring inflation down by 4%, that’s 2 pretty huge birds with one stone. Truss’s plan to reduce tax to stave off recession is surely going to fuel inflation. Does she think raging inflation is less of an issue than recession?

AshVilla Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) All i keep hearing from Truss is this moratorium on the green energy levy. It will save people about 150 pounds but isn't she aware that bills are going up to upwards of 5k in January.

Glad you said that, I've been asking that for ages. I don't see how cutting tax would do anything but make inflation worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I think I am still in denial that Truss is going to be the next PM. Thicker than the thick end of a dead whale. She will probably quote st francis of assisi and try to invade the Falklands again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
