The banker loving, baby-eating Tory party thread (regenerated)

[Stevo985]

As well as everything else, if that's true it's a total embarrassment for the Tories. Their own election process has produced a leader who they're already having LONCs for. What the **** are they playing at

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.

But not the losses since last Thursday's announcement

What a freakshow.

Has to be a record surely?

19 days in the job, 12 of which were mourning.

How can we possibly ever look down on the democracy in other countries. We are a joke.

Two years till the next election. I’m not sure the country can survive that long. Lasting damage being inflicted by these bastards. Worst Government in my lifetime. The last 12 years have been truly dreadful. 

The years under brown were not much better so add those years on too

You sure about that?

 

EDIT - I hadn't realised we'd gone as far as 1.03 overnight. Christ alive...

The years under Brown were bliss compared to the shit show of the last 12 years.

Really. NHS adequately funded, I used to see my Doctor within 48 hours, not 2 weeks. Pound traded at 2 Dollars, inflation was pretty much under control, growth was at levels the Tories would give their arm for, workers rights had been much improved. I could go on, but Brown was actually a bloody good chancellor who presided over a period, which in retrospect, seems like a pretty decent time compared to the shitshow we now have under this lot.

Some of that is based on rumours the Bank of England will step in with emergency rate hikes to shore up the currency. One of the members of the Bank Committee is speaking at 5pm on a different matter but will be asked about if the Bank will step in to shore up the Currency

Context is key though, Dem. The world financial markets were shot at the time. This is entirely self-inflicted.

Doesnt mean those years were not shit too.

If it wasnt as shit people wouldnt have voted  labour out at the time.

If brown did a better job running the country  then we wouldnt have these lot in Government

The next step is for Truss government to outline their way of cutting debt to reassure markets. Now we know this won't be via taxation. So it can only be spending. So the usual areas will be cut. 

[fightoffyour]

The Tories will be using that one soon.

Think this is bad? Blame Brown!

I fear you might be correct but,

If they make the waiting times in A&E any longer, people will start meeting themselves being treated for earlier injuries in the same week.

They will change the fundamental way time works in A&E to cut the times. 

Maybe put them on the 10th (A&E) floor to take advantage of the small slow down in time compared to floor level + make sure there is no lift.
