not sure labour is the answer So does that mean about 70% sure? |

If prices were coming down that would be DEFLATION not inflation. Basic Misunderstanding there

Sir Geoffrey Cox would be a good bet to keep his if there is a price for it. (These turkeys won't have long to wait for Christmas!) Top man, very popular in his constituency, does a lot locally and was at at least 2 point to points this year, heard him before saw him! Unmistakable voice.

There’s a chap on YouTube called Sasha Yanshin who breaks down all of the figures.
What’s good is that you can download them yourself from the BoEs site or wherever and explore on your own. But technically Rishi is correct if you leave out the data you don’t want and interpret the remaining result in your own way. Of course this is fraud but there you go. - He hasn’t posted in a while because he’s leading the war vs Adobe…if you don’t know they recently changed their Terms of Service so if you use one of their products for your work they now own your work and can do what they want with it. They did put out a blog post saying this wasn’t the case but a blog post isn’t a legally binding contract like the TOS they’re telling you to sign. |

I read Lizz truss book and enlightening it was, I still think her policy’s would have been great but as in the book the goverment does not run the country the institutions do and just like Biden, rishi are just puppets with no say in the matter

Yes I think it’s a big loss far worse than I’m expecting, it’s just been a disaster campaign, he will want a Rwanda plane to take off but even if that happens it’s to late we are in the s..t when they get in big style, taxes and immigration and re join eu fkd

would've been great if they hadn't crashed the economy, cost joe public billions and got her drop-kicked out the front door asap for being absolutely fcking clueless. apart from that, they would've been great. |

Farage wants a Truss Mark II budget, the chavs who vote for him have no money to lose.

By:
I think if you think it’s just council estate thrash voting for him then you’d be very mistaken.
The tories are done and to be honest Wakanda is more relevant to politics than the Lib Dem’s so it’s just Farage for people who want something other than the establishment types. |

The fed hiked interest rates unexpectedly, cue a flight to USD, pressure on the ex rate and bonds. Massive pressure on the eye watering values of bonds protected by LDIs and the BoE deliberately fudging the market.
Regular joes like hulk are clueless about that, and that bonds crashed globally. Easier, and convenient to pin it on Truss. |
|
By:
that's not to say they didn't screw up, they did. but funnily enough it was due to cutting the 45% tax rate to 40% !

By:

why did they sack Truss ?? Get caught urinating in the lift or was she just absolutely fkng clueless ... |
|
By:
why do you think. sunak was the chosen one. it suited almost everyone to do what they did to Truss, even the wets in the Tory ranks.
|
|
By:
immediately after the budget, labour supported all of her fiscal policies apart from the top rate restoration. history is of course now rewritten

In their hours of desperation the right wingers still coming up with excuses. You would think after all the damage they have inflicted that you would expect them to go away gracefully but no it's everyone else's fault.

Truss and her sidekick made the classic mistake of announcing a policy without consulting the key players in the financial world. So the bankers and share dealers made sure it didn't work and got rid of them. It may not have worked anyway but the City made sure it couldn't. In the same way the Rwanda policy can never work because the Civil Service and the Judiciary will make sure it won't. You can't bring in policies without getting key people onside whether or not they are good ideas.

Rishi Sunak in the leadership debate to replace BJ told the world Truss's economic plan would crash the markets and he was right.
"In their hours of desperation the right wingers still coming up with excuses. You would think after all the damage they have inflicted that you would expect them to go away gracefully but no it's everyone else's fault." You are so right Sparrow |
|
By:
He knew the fed would hike rates the day before the 'big' mini budget ? Pity he didn't have any other premonitions !
So Sunak 'borrows/prints' £400 bln, shuts down the economy for 2 years, and the bond markets don't budget. KK announces modest tax cuts and the establishment has a collective paddy. give me a fking break. |

By:
sageform is on the right track but I don't believe she would have been allowed to deviate from the agenda either way. may have lasted a bit longer

By:
I believe the reason the markets went into meltdown when Truss and KK cut the tax rate was due to the problem the country was suffering from with high / rising inflation and tax cuts cause higher inflation..
Its classic text book economics that if you have rising inflation then you need to INCREASE taxes to reduce the spending power of the populus which in turn will reign back inflation and help bring it back under control. IF, you cut taxes you will increase the £'s in people's pockets which will add fuel to the fire and cause inflation to rise more. THE main way governments have to combat inflation is to increase taxes. That's why Truss and KK messed up and the markets went into meltdown, because it was the dumbest thing anyone could do.. |

VOTING FOR SUNAK IS THE DUMBEST THING ANYONE CAN DO RIGHT NOW!!
|

By:
The markets didn't go into 'meltdown', oneten.
I keep repeating it but the shift was global, due to the Fed hiking rates. Take a look at bond markets around the world, inflation rates around the world, they all shifted in the same direction, in unison. Believe it or not, that was not because the top rate of English income tax was planned to be reduced to 40% and a 1% of the basic rate of income tax! It was bad politics but anyone who believes Truss is to blame for higher interest rates and the high inflation period we experienced needs help with their breathing. |

You might be right Cider but the whole chaotic management of the Government since Covid is a disgrace and they all have to take the blame. Good policies are no use unless they are properly managed and delivered.
