The Politics Thread

^ Definitely. I'd kill to have Blair and Brown back in charge.

I see Truss has written in the S*n today that she has "an iron grip on the economy". You've only a tenuous grip on reality love. For the love of God, go now!

She's got that much grip, the Bank of England had to promise £65,000,000,000 of our reserves, just to stop pension funds going bust and stabilize the markets.

The Torygraph posted an article around the highest one week rise in the Pound against the Dollar, from the lowest number it's ever managed to achieve in history to the heady height of the third lowest number it's ever achieved in history. What a remarkable turnaround.

You really couldn't make it up.

We’ve just had last week the record increase in cost of 10 year government borrowing of all time. Depending on which records you use it’s also the record for any G7 country ever too.

The telegraph are shameless. Though in fairness plenty of their writers are even now critical of Truss and the Tory party. It’s the sycophants who arent.

Another developing "pitch" - Benefits shouldn't be linked to inflation, when millions of workers face real terms pay cuts. So, I get the spin - it's tough for everyone - but they're actually pitching "everyone's getting a really shit outcome, so benefits should be a no less shit outcome?"

What a sales pitch.

So "All Pull Together" isn't being adopted as the new Government signature tune then? .

The majority of people on benefits also work. So the pitch could be ‘we are just trying to make your your lives are doubly as shit as they might otherwise have been’.

It's a surefire winner!

Presumably 42% of the benefits budget will be exempt from that policy, as usual...?

Yep. That’s already confirmed.

If I see Truss answering another question with ‘uncomfortable pause’ *looks like she’s trying to hold a fart in* ‘what we are doing is…….’ I’m going to smash my screen.

I bet she will blow way more than the £65Bn she already has just on media training to try and seem vague,y competent.

[Prufrock]

Who knew Suella was a fecking nutter?! That's come out of the blue!

[boltonboris]

I hope someone offs that c*nt and I don't care how that makes me sound. World's a better place without Hitler types like her

[Bruce Rioja]

Apparently, Truss will be bounding on to the conference stage to a 90s pop classic. My money's not on 'You Only Get What You Give'

M People, moving on up? That'll sort the yoof vote out...

M People don’t seem happy to be associated with this shambles either.

Can’t blame em.

Isn't Heather Small's son a Labour MP? He's certainly something to do with them.

Yeah - he might have mentioned something in passing

Councillor apparently.

Ahh I see there will be no power cuts might mean there possibly will be power cuts.
Thankfully I have two generators bought a good while ago for a project that never took off and an open plan kitchen diner so the gas hob can provide the heating if needed.
Politicians don't lie, that's a joke.

Was this for the Hobes nuclear bunker?

I hope they're carbon neutral and I'm looking forwards to your new electric motorcycle.

Good news, Hobes, I'm already both. I have designed a windmill powered Ducati though, so I hope you enjoy it mate.
