Edit: I assumed it was the quotes from the chancellor as SKS had a hard copy and left it for the PM. Twitter reckons it relates to the queen.

MakemineVanilla Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 32 minutes ago, Genie said: Starmer is now quoting the chancellor who said it would take over a decade to get shale gas and it wouldn’t lower the price. Also a quote from him that increasing north sea gas output would have no impact on global prices. There seems to be an assumption that North Sea crude is 'our' crude and that therefor we could have exclusive access to it, at a price we would prefer. Obviously not true but obviously useful for someone's particular political agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted September 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 By now we've all seen that speech of a young Liz Truss calling to abolish the monarchy. Fair play. One day in the job. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Watched the debate, I actually found Truss quite honest and without any pomp or bluster - dare I say she's not entirely unlikeable. The only flaw though, as pointed out repeatedly by Starmer, is that she's not very bright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After her initial announcement it was one way traffic from everyone highlighting what a terrible idea it was, and the opposition landed several big hits about the mess being of the conservatives own making. Starmer rammed several damaging quotes from the chancellor back down his own throat to which they had no response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was taken aback at how quickly the energy plan was dismantled by Starmer - it appears that whoever put it together hadn't thought particularly hard about what the opposition might say. Labour has suddenly been given shape and form when before it was shapeless and vague - Truss is the best thing to happen to Labour in a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad day to bury good news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour couldn't really say anything until it was announced for exactly this reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
