Putting your fingers in your ears and shouting nah, nah, nah, not listening is a great tactic. Well done you for giving it another go - it's about time someone succeeded in making it work. Good luck!

I thought it was an excellent speech, unfortunately I don’t believe that the current Conservative policies can lead to anything more than a sort of poorly regulated “Wild West” where the consequences of misleading or mis-selling are almost non-existent and where public services continue to decline. Those that can afford to will use private sector alternatives, those that can’t will continue to suffer.
It’s what lots of us have voted for, I have to accept that, but it all seems so American and uncivilized.

One small child gone for a much needed lie down. "Now, now Jacob stop screaming. I know that it was the other boys and girls that made you behave badly. Yes you are Nanny's special little prince and they should have listened when you shouted at them."
Yep I know it is childish. But they can't keep changing the head of the snake and expecting the country to have amnesia and forget the last 12 years of utter decline.

worth pointing out most (all?) billionaries have their wealth in assets, in property or usually companies. their wealth goes up and down with the stock markets.
the thing about people valuing money applies to someone earning 80k as 180k or 1m. they are insulated from a £50 spend eitherway. a lot of wealthy do look after the £ because thats how you do well in business. by relative standards all politicans are wealthy. they make spending and payment decisions on either the total budget (few hundred million for this small amount, a billion or two for that payment), or the political expediency (this months issue). politicans isnt few to none look at welfare payments in terms of actually addressing problems. otherwise they'd have a lot more targeted payments, non-payment provisions, like food parcels.
(and kicking myself for falling in the trap of mixing income and wealth
)

Jacob Rees-Mogg resigns as Rishi Sunak reshuffle begins
Jacob Rees-Mogg resigns as business secretary as new prime minister begins appointing his top team

Part of Mogg's quote given to Sky News in July was that Sunak "Wouldn’t want me in his cabinet anyway.”
Reminds me of the old Blackadder line. "She won't marry him. She's met him."

Sorry if I have misunderstood, but you are saying the Office for Budget Responsibility are wrong when they say Brexit has cost twice what Covid has ?

Given that she was shortlisted by the Conservative MP's and then elected to the PM job by a significant majority of Conservative members, I would respectfully suggest that a significant number of people didn't know she was completely incompetent
I am saying the two main issues at the moment at russia/lockdown
Unless I missed Germxit?

Issues effecting the British economic situation ? Because the Government's own Office of Budget Responsibility has already said that the negative effect of Brexit on Britain's economy was twice that of Covid,
ie, they believe the two main issues negatively effecting the British Economy currently are Brexit/Russia

I heard Sunak's remarks about the challenges to the economy. He continued the Tory and media pretence that Brexit is not having the impact that every impartial observer has stated it to be having. How is any government going to tackle the issues if they will not admit that the issues exist? Would you trust an England manager who planned for a World Cup whilst failing to admit that Harry Maguire can't play football anym... Sorry, carry on.
