Exactly, a return to Tory values, as the majority of the Tory party sees it.... that's why the membership voted for Truss.
It's a great pity the Labour membership don't get to do the same with electing their leader.
My contact in the treasury says the energy bills solution isn't what they would do. It will benefit people who are doing ok and who are well off, but not those struggling
Whilst that's true on balance I think this is probably the right solution for the economy isn't it. Choice is between solely help those who need it most who don't have the money to spend in the economy OR help everyone a little and businesses will see less losses.
If it was me we'd do both but I'm a filthy lefty who thinks the poor should be helped.
How dare you not think about the economy.
But he is thinking about helping the present economy, people who are struggling even without the energy crisis... except of course hes not may be thinking about future generations who will pick up the bill.... "like the poor, they are always with us"!
Smoked Salmon
There's probably a Smoked Gammon if you look hard enough.
'You can't tax your way to growth' is starting to grate as badly as 'the will of the people' did back in the day.
Anyone know who Natasha Barnaba is? She donated 100k within 2 days... google says she's a 39 year old interior designer with no significant other information.
Truss looks so out of her depth in the HoC, staring blankly while other MPs talk all around her. May has to intervene to sound a bit sensible. Kwarteng looks like he's been caught in the headlights.
Will she last till Xmas?

All the press where giving it large by saying Labour underestimated her yesterday at PMQs. She will come undone when people begin to unpick her policies. She is like someone you put as the face of the company when other people are actually running it.
No, but Alessandro Barnaba is associated with Clinova, a healthcare company.
Some one should have tweeted that back. The problem is that the once clear blue water is now full of shite.
That's exactly what she is, the clueless mouthpiece for the ERG.
Queen might be on her last legs.
Will this help or hinder Truss?
I expect everyone will be told to pipe down while the nation is mourning

Truss wanted to abolish the monarchy - she'll claim she has delivered.
fixed. as are all the current alternatives in each party.
I don't know about others but I am just depressed that we have this dogshit of a government and it seems there is nothing we can do.
Imagine feeling Cameron and co weren't so bad. That's how far we've fallen.
Don't the people of this country have any sense? These people have been here since 2010.
What have they offered?

Cameron and Co were the artichets of this mess, let's not try and pretend they're not so bad. They are.
I just hope that the rest of us in the UK get our referendums to leave this shit show of a kingdom.
Scotland first. Northern Ireland next. And then hopefully some sort of Celtic kingdom to form afterwards.
The only people who can get this scum out of power are the English but they vote for them in their flocks every fecking election.
Referendums please so the rest of us can feck off from this shit show created by the tories and enabled by the population of England.
since about 1979 by my count.
Not sure Labour would dare to use that as an attack line on her though.
Truss as PM, Charles as King. Worrying times.
Truss was the last public figure the Queen met. Now Charles has got to meet Truss. Worrying times for Charles.
During this time when the nation mourns, voters naturally will want to rally around the incumbent Government and show a brave face. Everyone will tell themselves her life is to be celebrated and we can look onwards to a new era. This optimism will directly coincide with the natural new leader bounce that Liz will enjoy, a honeymoon period. So the Tories can't, for lack of a better word, "enjoy" it twice.
Damn, truss works fast.
The Curse of Truss - everything she touches turns to.....
Her speech was bland wooden and emotionless.
She should have spoken from the heart.
She should have spoken from the heart.
She is waiting in line with the Tin Man to get one though so maybe next time.
Today I learned that Truss is actually younger than me. I was certain she was many years older.
Feck the NSH waiting lists.
I knew she was younger than me that doesn't mean that she doesn't look like Gollum though.
Fecking flag shagger making an appearance:
Truss goes to see the Queen. The Queen dies. What more evidence do we need to lick her up
Rather you than me.
Good moaning, golden blinder.
Typo. Or was it..
