It's almost like they know their time is up at the next GE so they're going full scorched Earth, ****ing the country up as much as possible (whilst still lining the pockets of their wealthy buddies) in order to hand over the biggest mess possible to the next government. I just can't fathom why anyone would vote for them.
Did you mention spending cuts. Just announced government departments are to be asked to look into areas in which spending savings ( cuts) can be made.
Completely inevitable. They will slowly bring in some tax rises as well, doubtless regressive ones that everybody has to pay, not just the rich. Ones which hurt the poor most. The ‘markets’ that they love have called their bluff. If you can’t pay for a giveaway, you’ll be punished. Their promise of ‘growth’ was so obviously not going to be delivered short or medium term that nobody takes it seriously. Things were ****ing awful anyway, without this massive self inflicted wound. Still, if somebody with ‘economist’ in their job title can be persuaded to say on the radio that ‘it might work’ best not to question, even if 100 others say it’s bullshit.
The last round of Conservative party selection process for MPs was based on Brexit for or against. Anyone who was against brexit was pushed out, taking many experienced functional Tory MPs. Boris surrounded himself with novice yes men who were not experienced. His government and Truss's government are inexperienced people who do not know what they are doing. Sunak, was at least an economist, and the Tory party did not vote for him. I disliked Sunak, but as said before, he would not got us into this mess.
Truss and Kwarteng are even too cowardly to explain to the public what the **** they think they are up to. This goes on much longer the MPs will kick them out and we’ll have Boris back. What a fiasco.
The complete and utter fukwit decorator on site again today. Proper racist ****. Wouldn't vote for Lib Dems because they would bring back freedom of movement, wouldn't vote Greens because they are hippies and wouldn't vote Labour because Kier Starmer is German!!! There really is no hope
The Queen dying gave them an extra week to fine tune this ****show. They decided to ignore the Office for Budgetary Responsibility’s offer to cost their proposals and show what impact it would have on government spending and borrowing, ensuring that there was a blank page on the ‘here’s how we pay for it’ section of the mini budget, an absence which showed all investors that you are completely right Bob, they haven’t got a Scooby, and equally they won’t listen to anyone trying to tell them something they don’t like.
Do you think they are doing it out of some kind of ideological quasi religious belief that it will work, or just because they are evil ****ers?
Well they wrote an actual ****ing book on it so make your own conclusions. I don’t think they expected things to unravel this quickly but they knew the risk they were taking. Sunak called it perfectly in the leadership election, fair play to the ****.
Perhaps this isn’t the right thread, but can anybody recommend a good decorator in the North of England?
