There was never a plan Not really true. 1) remove the cap on City bonuses 2) surprise everyone by scrapping the 45p tax rate 3) use the goodwill and political capital that those two incredibly popular things would bring them to push through unpopular cuts and reforms. They just didn't bank on the country not liking one and two as much as their echo chamber did. It's up there with "Villa fans will probably love Alex McLeish as manager" for inanity, but it was a plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "supply side reforms" in (3) paid for (1) and (2). Any extra spending would just be borrowed, because obviously as fans of the markets, the markets would love their plan and want to fund anything they couldn't save via lower spending. They just didn't consider the possibility that they might not get a bonfire of workers rights and spending cuts through parliament. And that the markets might think they were morons.

mjmooney Posted October 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2022 I was in a mate's car yesterday, and he had Radio 2 on, with a phone-in about the current political fiasco. The majority of calls were a variant on "Poor Liz Truss, they're all ganging up on her, we should give her a chance...", etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
