If you want to be pedantic 200,000 blue rinse brigade old biddies voted for the leader of the Conservative Party. Just over half of them voted for Truss (114,000 if we assume a full turn out) that is 1 in 587 people
Not everything. However Labour's navel gazing civil war freakout 2015-2019 certainly paved the way for Johnson to become PM and stay there. We were then stuck until 2024. They haven't exactly set the world on fire since have they? It would be like praising a magnificent Charlton performance when we scored three own goals.
This is exactly what I said earlier mate, swapping one pile of s hite with another, not great by any standards.
I'm not being pedantic, it's just the way it is. Although I'll be voting Labour that doesn't mean all of a sudden, I'll be hating all things Tory and blowing smoke up Labours backside.
Has he not got you on ignore? What have you got to do he thinks there is only 3 people on this forum.
I thought I was pretty good with numbers, but I can't figure out what your numbers come to. For a start the Torys only have about 170000 members. So how did you get the 114000 and the 1 in 587.
'pound plummets' It's dropped two cents. 1.11 yesterday, 1.09 today. They've altered the scale of the graph to make it look similar to the drop a couple of weeks back but it's about a fifth of that drop. GMB will be screeching at you to go and get all your money from the bank by the time it goes off air. **** off, news.
The Euro has dropped to a two decade low against the dollar The pound is still stronger than both the dollar and euro.
Deliberate manipulation of the figures to make it seem worse than it is. Never gets reported as 'soaring', does it?
The 'pound against the dollar' rate doesn't get people NHS treatment or help them pay their bills and mortgages ... ... nor does waiting for trickling down or levelling up. It's another catchphrase administration, same as the last one.
Some of us knew this would happen when Boris left. People have got what they wished for and now the country is in a worse state. Oh well.
If Sunak (and trust me I’m no fan of his either) had been voted in by the membership then this wouldn’t be happening. In fact, he said throughout the campaign debates and hustings that exactly this would happen with the tax cutting policies Truss was proposing and was trying to warn against it.
