Spot on, every last word is exactly how I feel. Surely it is time to take to the streets now?
I fully support this, Id happily pull the lever, for free all day every day until the job was done.

Spot on, every last word is exactly how I feel. Surely it is time to take to the streets now?
Whenever is the next election is surely it needs to be soon? They've reneged on so many of their manifesto pledges that this government has pretty much zero mandate now?!
Wouldn’t listen to Summers tbh. The policy the tories have put forward today have by supported in the past by Summers.
How long before a vote of no confidence is tabled then? What gets me is how distant all this shite is from the manifesto they were elected on. They've gone completely off-piste and people are rightly pissed off.
By January 2025
The VONC won’t win. It will be Turkeys voting for Xmas. Backbench Tory MPs know they are fecked but there ain’t much they can do about it.
I feel a little bit sick that I'm agreeing with that GBNews twat on something.
Suicide if she does that. I’d be surprised if the party let her as a lot of them know they will be out of their cushty £90k a year job. I’m not talking just the red wall either.
This fecker has no self awareness.
What is going to be really interesting is the level of Tory MPs who will be unhappy enough to actually vote against this budget. Not enough to force rejection. But maybe enough to give Liz Truss something of a bloody nose.
I assume you're talking about both of them.
Them tories be torying.
I wonder what the Tories would actually have to do for the British people to revolt? Are we too lethargic for such a thing to ever happen?
It must be very odd for him that he spends everyday advocating for a political party who’s main goal is to stopping him buying a house.
Doubt he will never realise though.
The Tories are so clueless about policies and reactive that I wouldn't be surprised if they see the market reaction and roll back a couple of the policies on Monday.
That would just create more chaos and uncertainty
It would, but I don't think they would care if the reaction to what they've done goes down badly (which it obviously will due to the crazy bad decisions). The bank of England must be fuming having a government that are deliberately subverting what they are attempting to do.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised at some 'clarifications' made next week.
I hope to god someone is keeping a close eye on the investments of these ministers. Like with Brexit I'm sure some donors will made some very well investment decisions.

Richard Fuller, a Treasury minister, raised eyebrows by arguing that the chancellor’s tax cuts would encourage young people in their 20s earning around £26,000 a year not to go down a “plodding path” in their career but to go into business.
He told LBC said it was about “risk and motivation” and those in their mid 20s should think about being more successful and keeping more of their money, as well as “taking that risk and not doing the plodding normal thing”.
Asked what plodding looks like, he said it was about not “being idle with your cash” and looking for a good return. He said the growth plan was about helping people think about “doing something with your life”.
Fuller said: “Back when I was 25, ironically, it was about the time we had a Conservative government that was looking to cut taxes. What I felt then is that this meant an opportunity for me.
“This meant if it took a risk with the way I wanted to run my career, I didn’t go down the plodding path of just step by step.
That I would have a government that was on my side. It encouraged me to look at things like venture capital and look at ways to grow a business... If you’re 25 and see an opportunity, the government will get out of the way and do what it can to enable you to take up an opportunity.”

Don't be a plodder. Don't be idle with your cash. Don't train to be a teacher or a doctor or a social worker or enter a profession. Go into business instead. All businesses succeed and give you a good return.
Richard Fuller knows about taking risks.
Richard Fuller lost his Bedford seat in 2017 to Labour and then was parachuted into a safe Tory seat at the 2019 election. Don't be a plodder. Be like Richard the risk taker.

I bet Rees-Mogg’s hedge fund had shorted GBP.
Wow talk about a complete load of bollocks. I'm on around that figure and have barely anything left at the end of the month to invest after rent and bills.
The only thing this government could do to be on the side of mid 20 somethings is to enact policies that decrease rent prices but of course they'd never dream of it.
Not sure why the cut the additional rate of tax. If anything it should have been increased a few percent to offset the cuts for the lower income people
Just work harder and take risks you lazy sod!
It's an emerging markets equity shop that's been bleeding assets for years now and is quite loss-making after further redemptions this year.
If he'd sold out five years ago he'd have got five times the price probably.
I want to cave his head in and use the goo to heat my home for a few seconds this winter.
Did he have any suggestions as to who would be the future doctors, teachers, nurses etc and the many thousands of other types of jobs that are needed for the country to function? Probably not.
I keep getting messages on LinkedIn for jobs in Australia, US, and Middle East. Always ignored such messages but first time today replied to a few. Need to jump off the sinking ship. I am so fking angry at this budget.
Absolute madness. The Barber Boom 2.0, this is going to end in absolute disaster.
They seem to be losing FT readers.
fecking socialist bastard.
At some point we have to take action.
Minor point but I'm not sure where the perception the FT is pro Tory comes from. It's pretty much dead centrist, which of course the Tories are not.
Edit - Maybe slightly right. Culture coverage is banging though.
Probably because labour apparently crashed the economy so a finance paper would not support labour (which is insane)
It could be the readership is assumed to be Tory as it works in the city? I agree the paper is to the left of the Telegraph, Mail and Express.
I agree FT has never struck me as a daily mail/express. But it's not a daily mirror or guardian either.
Certainly wouldn't say its right wing. Maybe slightly right.
Absolutely. These parasitic spiv ghouls will stay until the bitter end, we need to drag them out kicking and screaming to answer for their at best negligent incompetence or at worst what is nothing short of treasonous theft from and damage to the nation.
