[Politics] Who is actually running the country ?

[Binney on acid]

As far as I can make out, no one is.

 

[bhafc99]

Not sure, but I’m sure Chelsea will be in for them soon.

 

[Stat Brother]

Thankfully we have a strong and stable leadership.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Exactly.

Just think if Corbyn had become PM? The Tories promised us they’d be constant chaos and the prospect of an almost bankrupt Britain.

Thank goodness for the stability we’ve had over the last 12 years.

I read the thread title as 'ruining' the country.

Last I checked it's the bloke who came 2nd in a leadership contest to a woman outlasted by a lettuce.

In a couple of years time, it'll be the unions.

 

[beorhthelm]

the civil servants as they always do. and thats not a snark, politicans are there to set policy, sign off some high level matters, not day to day operations.

Except they are nearly all working from home.

 

[Machiavelli]

'The markets' did a pretty good job at asserting their control a couple of months ago

 

[sparkie]

I'm not.

 

[keaton]

Fingers crossed

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

New “New Labour” are gearing up. Brown, Blair, Mandelson and Campbell all currently offering words of wisdom. Starmer will go with it for sure.

That was the 1970s - until Thatcher came in and cut their goodies off.

 

[5Ways Gull]

It's a combination of hedge fund managers, Russian/Chinese hackers, organised crime and Jacob Rees-Mogg.

not sure reacting to the unfunded not-a-budget was "control", more fright. all reversed btw, doesn't make for headlines, bonds rates back to mid September levels.

 

[medwayseagull reborn]

I thought everyone knew it is the ERG.

 

[nicko31]

So many factions in the Tory party now, all with their own agenda. Sunak looks incredibly weak politically, the next two year are gonna be similar to 95-97 but with an economy flat lining ...
