  1. Also of note, and it is no small matter. In the run up to this U-Turn the Tory Party Chair Jake Berry threatened backbenchers that if they don’t support the PM on the Budget, they’d have the ‘whip removed’. The PM then U-turned. So threatening Tory MPs to support the newly minted PM isn’t working. How long before the whole mess collapses?
  2. I never said the tax cuts ‘favour only the wealthy’. This is the second time I have corrected your misrepresentation of my statements on this matter. Both I and placeholder have provided you a link which confirms the wealthy benefit hugely more than do those on modest and low incomes, facts that were widely reported in the press.
  3. She’s just done a U-turn in a matter of days. What she says has absolutely no credibility.
  4. How is possible to open your mouth and cause the BoE to have to spend £65Billion to prop up Sterling as a direct result of the idiocy that came out of your mounth… and still keep your job?
  5. Quit with the Strawman. When I say ‘favours the already wealthy’ or ‘massively favours the already wealthy’ I do not say ‘but nobody else’, Stop putting words in my mouth.
  6. Let me give you an example. NI ( a tax) cancelling the planned rise massively favours a the already wealthy.
  7. It was a U-Turn. And she’ll do it again the next time she comes up with a half baked idiot idea.
  8. Remember when it was said of a truss (by her supporters) that she is competent and gets things done.
  9. Each of the tax cuts in the ‘proposed budget’ massively favorites the wealthy. As wide reported at the time. https://fullfact.org/economy/kwasi-kwarteng-mini-budget/
  10. Erm no, it’s only a small fraction of the money being borrowed that being handed out in tax cuts for the already wealthy.
  11. Exactly that. Time for Truss to publish the economic plan she claims she’s working to.
  12. They are repaying a loan early, they are propping up the currency by buying Guilts. They pumped out £65Billion to reduce the damage done by the idiot budget, this will increase inflation.
  13. No they have not, they’ve scrapped the 45-> 40% tax cut to high earners. High earners are still to receive £Billions of tax cuts paid for with borrowed money.
  14. Yes, the BoE’s own Guilts. AKA quantitative easing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing
  15. It’ll be pushed up the back of people’s minds as the recession hits. And of course next up, more Tory cuts to welfare and public services.
  16. She was forced into a U-Turn by members of her own party who were threatening to vote her budget down.
  17. In the first instance you need to revisit the OP, while relevant to people living in Thailand on income from the UK the £/฿ is not the topic of discussion. Secondly, the BoE has stepped in with £65Billion of quantitative easing in order to prop the pound up, the BoE have stated this is not a long term fix.
  18. I think it fairer to say he is backing the President of the United States in his opposition to the threats to world peace coming from a violent aggressor.
  19. And when caught get thrown in prison.
  20. Your ‘silent majority’ is a myth. Elections are won by attracting a small number of swing voters in key ‘swing’ constituencies. You can waffle on about ‘Work shy on benefits’ all you wish, when voters can’t afford to put regular meals in front of their kids, can’t afford to heat their homes and can’t afford their mortgage repayments, they are not listening to ‘scapegoating’. They are focussed on the problems this Government has created for them.
  21. Oh, so you don’t have evidence to back up your claims. You want everyone else to go get the evidence for you.
  22. Erm,,,, we know. Babcock Ranch demonstrated it can be done.
  23. I’m not sure how you work that out? The aggressor here is Putin, it’s Putin making the threats. History is very clear, do not ignore threats made by dictators, and never appease dictators. It’s the appeasement of this particular dictator that has emboldened him.
  24. With the added bonus of local jobs created to install and maintain the solar power grid.
  25. Just like it never happened. Except it did, and it was forced upon the BoE by an idiot.
