Jonesy7211 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 You know it's bad when even the Daily Mail are calling it a "schizophrenic" budget. If they're saying that think how bad it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible. Changing interest rates are an apolitical force, completely detached from Government policy decisions. (winky face) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 2 hours ago, Genie said: The Tories treat their leaders like Chelsea treat their managers. She got in into power on the immediate cutting of taxes. Now it has (as predicted) tanked the economy the people who voted for her are pointing the finger. Maybe that other guy with his sensible approach to paying down the debt before giving out free money to people who don’t need it was right? Sunak would have been the smart choice but The Tory members just saw him as a backstabber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only days ago they led with the front page headline of ‘finally, a proper Tory budget’ or something to that effect, guess a couple of days can be a long time these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is she today btw? Has she or Kwarteng spoken about the chaos they created? Edit: As if by magic BBC just updated Quote Let's head back to London now, where the chancellor has refused to answer questions about the pound touching an all-time low following his mini-budget. Approached by a BBC journalist, while walking between government buildings, Kwasi Kwarteng is asked: "Chancellor, what are you doing to do about the turmoil in the markets this morning, sir?" Refusing to answer, the Tory MP replies: "I'm not going to make any comment now." The reporter continues, asking what conversations Kwarteng is having with the Bank of England. He also asks if the chancellor has anything to say about what's going on. "Are you going to reverse your announcement that you made last Friday?" the reporter asks, referring to the mini-budget, to which Kwarteng says only: "I'm just going to my office now, thanks."

fightoffyour Posted September 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2022 Just now, bickster said: Well no, not really because she'll sit there whilst the whole process is gone through again Clearly an exaggeration, taking the time from the start of the leadership election to her being appointed compared to between then and her potentially losing a vote of no confidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have smiled and said he had a plan and was working through it. All the right people are engaged. There will be an announcement forthcoming etc etc. Instead he looked like a criminal scared to say anything in case it incriminated him further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Truss got 50 first choice votes for her in a ballot of about 360 people. At best just over 1 in 3 of her contemporary MP's atcually wanted her as PM. This is a slight flaw when you open it up to the tory members who are mostly batsh*t mentalists.

bannedfromHandV Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 It should be added at this point that it looks like the losses incurred by Sterling overnight have been largely recovered over the course of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
