You don’t need to deny something that doesn’t exist. And you certainly don’t need to deny anything unless the question arises.

Oh, so it wasn’t Truss and Kwarteng that just sent the UK economy into crisis? Why then is one sacked and the other [figuratively speaking] standing in the corner with a pointy hat on her head?

Nonsense.

‘I’m alright Jack’. The BOE disagrees with your assessment of the risk to pension funds. Perhaps you should consider the impact of loading pension fund support onto the treasury.

Truss has driven the economy into crisis. Hunt’s in charge. PMQs this week is going to be wonderful.

It would be far better to let this Government deal with its own mess.

The pound is only one metric, and has been heavily protected by BOE quantitative easing, which is about to stop.

Hunt can’t be made PM without going back to the reactionary and out of touch Conservative members who thought Truss was a good idea. You are correct, the damage is done, the impacts are now set in motion. The risk to pensions is of course a concern, and one that doesn’t have to come to stinking fruition to cause problems. Pensions are an essential part of financial planning for millions, life long commitments that people regard as their security in old age - A Tory Government has put that at risk, it will not be easily forgotten. More immediately, mortgage interest rates are going up, notifications are already going out. Apart from the obvious hit to family finances, and the knock on effect into the economy there is also increased risk of repossessions.- A Tory Government has put that at risk, it will not be easily forgotten. What a mess, a totally unnecessary mess.

It wasn’t a mistake, it was series of deliberate moves culminating in the ‘Kamikaze Budget’. 1st the sacking of Sir Tom Scholar permanent secretary at the Treasury, to clear the decks for the idiocy to come. 2nd The refusal to accept a OBR impact analysis and lie about it not being available. 3rd The absence of a fiscal plan and then lying about it being available. 4th Announcing massive un costed tax cuts non of which were at all necessary that overwhelmingly benefitted the already wealthy and lying about it. Non of this was a mistake, they were the actions of an idiot ideologue drunk on power. The polls disagree with you on Labour.

I suggest trying the internet search ‘white supremacist Asian women’ It turns out to be a thing.

It’s not the opposition tanking the economy, firing ministers and doing U-turns on policies that were only a few days ago touted as the way to get the UK back into ‘Growth Growth Growth’.

If you’ve got evidence to back your constant stream of pejorative comments, let’s be having it.

Unfortunately they are taking the economy with them.

After this week’s PMQs the opposition benches erupted in cheers, laughter and calls of ‘Encore Encore’ as Truss left the dispatch box. Un edited videos of Truss speeches are being used as opposition campaign material. There’s no need to add anything, just let her speak and let the voting public hear for themselves what a dullard she is.

You give us your blatantly biased views.

Once again you make a pejorative statement but don’t back it up with evidence.

“Never seen any taken to court for not filling it in right, but a lot don't.” Which begs the question, how do you know a lot don’t?

This is one of those topics that I hope you’ll forgive me for not reading past the headline.

I don’t know many people who are unable to grasp the idea that the death of a human being is something someone always cares about. In fact I don’t know any. I’m left wondering, what kind of mind set even contemplates the idea of nobody caring about the life of another human being. But then I remember, it’s refugees, asylum seekers and migrants you are talking about.

It’s a line of argument that deserves its own thread. Unfortunately this isn’t the thread and that’s not the topic in this one.

You are conflating investigation and prosecution. Criminals don’t get to choose who investigates their crimes.

I agree, Truss could have played this as ‘not my mess but we are where we are’ it would have required the public to ignore the fact she was a member of the Government but if she had focussed on the cost of energy and left everything else alone she would have won support. Unfortunately two things conspired against her: 1. The extreme rightwing economic dogma she bought into decades ago and has carried with her ever since. She was gagging to inflict it on the nation. 2. She’s as thick as two short planks. The nation pays the price.

Sometimes typos nail the truth.

The Tories are in a mess of their own making. Tge more the public see of Truss the less they like her, and that isn’t going to get any better. So the Tories are now in a fix, do they get rid of Truss and throw the country into yet another Tory infighting induced stupor or do they go into the next election with Truss as PM? I’m for the latter. This is a Tory mess, the Tories and their supporters need to suck it up.
