To be fair and balanced in relation to this weeks events I present the Conservative Party counter arguments;

- The market collapse isn’t related to the mini budget.

- It’s the Bank of Englands fault.

- It’s because markets are terrified of Kier Starmer.

- It’s none of the IMF’s business and they should butt out.

Well I’m convinced.

They seem to be moving from the tried and tested strategy of blaming the last Labour Government/Leadership to blaming the next Labour Government.

This is an actual article from a Conservative member of the House of Lords in Conservative Home in which he specifically states the collapse is because of Kier Starmer.

‘In other words (and I am aware of how much this runs against the current narrative) what we have seen since Friday is partly a market adjustment to the increased probability that Sir Keir Starmer will win in 2024 or 2025 – leading to higher taxes, higher spending, and a weaker economy’

Responds to the odd letter but otherwise completely absent from the job he gets most of his salary for. Tessa has actually done more for the constituency since she was voted out in 2015 than Heappey has.

Thanks, he must've been having a good day when I saw him!
