[Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

[WATFORD zero]

Both, to be honest.

But mainly the fear that our economy will crash and burn.

I hate to be pedantic, but our economy has been predicted to crash and burn ever since we voted for it nearly 3 years ago, and as a result it started crashing and burning about 20 months ago. This is certainly increasing the intensity, but it is what we voted for and can't really come as a surprise, can it

Come on. It's only the war with Russia that has kyboshed everything. If it weren't for that we would be basking in the autumn sunshine on our sunny upland.

They’re not even hiding it now. Nice.

Important to remember 25 percent of UK debt is in index linked gilts. Things are going to get very expensive.

Shocking month for Sterling, boom time for disaster capitalists

Her expenses as Foreign Secretary are out.

"high-end private catering; wellness and beauty treatments; extensive supplies from UK wineries; large amounts of home furnishing; and even £1,841 at the Norwich City club shop".

£4,333 on 2 trips to the hairdresser.

“The pound has fallen to a fresh 37-year low against the dollar”
37 years, wow.

We'll all be paying £2k for a trip to the hairdresser soon so I don't see what the problem is.

Wouldn't be surprised if the pound sinks below parity to the dollar.

And she still looks like a discarded condom.

will truss resign if the pound goes below parity?

 

[monty uk]

Is it worth sending this to Kwasi?

You mean the Kwasi with a degree in classics?

"Classics at Cambridge combines many disciplines and perspectives in the study of Greek and Roman Antiquity. The Greek and Roman world is studied here as a period in the past and through the receptions of classical culture, language and philosophy both historically and in the present day."

What better grounding can you have to run the economy of a once great nation. Alas that is no more.

Where is Mr Blobby when you need him?

Why would she? It’s been a great day for the people who bankroll the Tory party (disaster capitalists and rich pricks). If that means shitting on the plebs then that’s just a bonus for them.

 

[jcdenton08]

The absolute hypocrisy of NSC and the shocking moderation is getting worse, and worse, and worse.

It’s absolutely dire right now.

I haven’t posted on this thread yet ( I think) but genuinely don’t know what you are getting at?

Well done Lizzy. Fantastic mini budget

Anyone can say anything, post the vilest nonsense possible and nothing is done.

Then perfectly legitimate threads get moved to the Bear Pit.

There are some bonkers decisions being made.

I’ve been here since 2008 and it has never been this bad.
