    It's all corporate greed and nothing to do with the vast increase in money supply over the last 10 years, and particularly the last two.

    Wow. Respect to this Tory MP for saying it as he sees it.

    Look when I voted for Ed Miliband and his coalition of chaos i didn’t expect a 7 year delay and a far right version. Something must have got lost in translation

    Exactly.

    Every £ that is printed. Every time the government tells you something is “free”.. is actually them stealing from you and your family. It redirects resources away from where money should be spent naturally, to being spent on areas where corrupt bureaucrats decide.

    They dilute the money supply and it corrupts the market place so that real price incentives get erased. Then - worse than that - they bail out companies which should have failed, which creates even more problems

    Then all of this extra money inflates assets at the expense of wage earners and creates both a huge wealth gap and a declining society.

    Taxation = theft
    Inflation = slavery

    Looking like the game’s up for Truss. The lettuce may well see her off.

    Apparently Truss called the meeting so Brady could tell her what the mood of the party is. Surely she can work that out for herself! <doh>

    No she didn’t. The No.10 aides in the lobby briefing found out about Brady’s arrival at the same time as the journalists.

    BBC reporting Truss called the meeting, that's all I'm saying.

    I may have this wrong but as I understand it an MP who becomes PM is entitled to receive a pension that is equal to 50% of the position’s salary, even if they are only in that position for a few days, but if they are in that position for a specified amount of time the pension entitlement is equal to 100% of the position’s salary.
    If that is the case and depending on how much time is needed to attain the full pension, could Truss be hanging on to reach that cut off point?

    Baker has said that if Guru-Murthy is in breach of his industries code, he hopes he is sacked.
    I didn’t think Tory MPs gave much credence to codes of conduct.

    But what utter failure of a human being will they replace her with? There are no unifying MP’s left any more.

    The Tories are incapable of governing, a General Election is the only way out of this mess.
