Bob, interest rates are high to control inflation. Truss didn't create globally high inflation.
I'll give Labour a clean sheet when they come in (despite all Starmer's U turns), so we'll see. The sooner the GE, the better imo

No she just sent a massive unnecessary shockwave through the markets. My mortgage went up by 280 a month due to this.
Blinkered and naive Beth.
Politicians in this country have been generally poor for decades, not just since Boris, who was a terrible PM I agree.
On the bright side our public services are infinitely better and cheaper than our peers. You can have your teeth seen to in 2027 if you call now and wait half an hour for them to pick up the phone. Get a nice early appointment so you can get that £50 train into work after.
So the global financial crash was caused by Gordon Brown according to you.
Liz Truss managed to cause more damage to the UK economy all on her own.
The global financial crash mitigated well by Brown. Honestly that ****ing note these spanners still mention.
Followed by the global pandemic the Tories saw as an opportunity to make a few quid and maybe pretend to give a **** about whether your nan dies or not if there’s time.
If so, it would have been a couple of years ago. More recently, It went up when the Bank of England raised interest rates to tackle inflation
"No more boom and bust"...then we went bust
He played his part in causing it but even a rancid old UKIPper like you can’t honestly argue he reacted to it badly.
I couldn’t be bothered to reply to your four day week post. It made no sense.
**** off you insignificant little ****. Brown deregulated the banks, sold off the gold, double the debt and then when 2008 came, the UK economy was highly vulnerable.
Now, off you go and vote for your Islam worshipping Labour Party, like the Christmas-voting turkey you are
Nah it went up when you lot voted in Truss and she ****ed the country even more
Sir Geoffrey Cox was on Newsnight last speaking pompous bollocks about the parliamentary protocol shambles on Monday until Barry Sheerman pointed out that Cox himself had been instrumental in the illegal proroguing of the whole parliament. Cue much spluttering from Cox.
They have been poor but Johnson and his crew just dropped it to non league level. Corruption, cover ups galore. At least he made his mates richer whilst in power, that was his priority.
Man eats sandwich with people he works with. Incredible scenes.
Or, if for those who aren't Christmas turkeys, "proven antisemite for whom Labour have publicly withdrawn support in the Rochdale by election, dines with Labour"
It doesn’t look like they’re out on the piss. It’s a council meeting. Should he eat in a separate room just in case some Tory gimp like Tom Harwood tweets a pic to the sort of idiots who lap this kind of thing up?
