Will she make it past Christmas?
And have the usual suspects been blaming this on Labour in this thread?

The economy is one big IEA experiment.
If Labour hadnt crashed the economy with no survivors 14 years ago, we wouldn't be in this predicament
This Government is like Homer Simpson at work in the Nucleur plant, staring at a panel of hundreds of buttons and pressing them at random.
Has to go down as one of the worst political tweets of all time.
Truss has flushed the British economy down the Kwasi.
Yes - Potentially friction over the NI protocol to come and the inflation pressure from big drops against the yuan and euro as well.
Will be interesting to see how the UK does in relation to USA and Euro area over the next few months

Hard to imagine interest rates not going up substantially again by the end of the year though if we dont see a substantial drop in in inflation rates for September / October and as you say energy prices (and the plummeting pound make that very improbable what is it 2.25 at the moment - would expect somewhere between 3 and 3.5 by the end of the year and 4% by the march budget.... 5% or more before the end of 2023 I'd guess.
Presumably Truss is going to hope we are back at say 3% by late 2024 and claim that as a victory in her election pitch
Aye but did you see how he ate a bacon sandwich though? Criminal
We, as a population, are pathetic. Imagine if this was in France, they wouldn't stand for this shit and they'd be out in their thousands protesting.
No point discussing it on a forum or social media. We, the people, need to start making our discontent shown in the thousands and taking to the streets.
I shouldn't be advocating crime but sometimes crime is the only option. Irish catholics wouldn't have the rights they do today if it weren't for terrorism. Which while I don't agree with it; sometimes it's the only way to be heard.
If things don't change quick. I think protests and organising as a population won't be too far away. Being asset rich means feck all when you can't protect your country estates against the mob.
Things are gonna turn ugly soon. And I don't even feel bad or guilty about it, I support it. Viva le revolution.
A good start would be the population stopping their rent payments. They can't evict us all. And they can't afford their mortgages without us.

Is there any wonder why Patel tried to get protesting banned?
I apologize in advance.
Not really - Fullbrook is the new Levido or Crosby. Cummings didn't represent a commercial campaign organisation/lobbying firm. Rather it would make sense to compare Cummings to Nick Timothy. Or Seumas Milne. In terms of role, I mean.
Caller on LBC sounded like he might be a caf' poster.

Feck me, what a load of bollocks
We've turned self harm into an art form.
It's not going to be the mentalists. Probably the few remaining reasonably capable tories realising whats coming or maybe red wall tories
Didn't realise I was script writer for cafe lurker Jonathan Pie.
there was a scheduled statement from the monitory policy at 5pm today i think
dont think they have any flexibility to act without another meeting of the monetary committee - perhaps they will announce an extra meeting in light of the "fiscal event" (cough cough budget) for the end of the week - tht inn its self though will bring in a lot of speculation / uncertainly
gut feel another 0.5% rise minimum is inevitable soon
I suspect Boris is thinking its his chance to swoop in and say he's been a very naughty boy but no more parties if the MPS make me PM uncontested
The shortest reign of a PM (19th Century) Century was 119 days - she has 100 to go.
Will she make it?
She shouldnt !
I would be TERRIFIED if I was living in UK right now. Its absolute chaos.

The sort of reply I'd expect to see from a Tory. Not hard to see where you're aligned by a quick search of posts in this forum by you.Feck me, what a load of bollocks
Liz keeping the seat warm for Ben Wallace.
Angela "scum" Raynor
Thank god corbyns gone.
We don't like you're lot on here. Feck off you tory prick.
The BoE putting interest rates up to anything like they need to to control inflation after those tax cuts is going to collapse the housing market such will be the increase in everyone’s mortgage repayments
This is disaster economics. They’re actively destroying people to move wealth from the average person to the cash rich.

The people knew what they were voting for. They kept telling us!
Pound's performance against the Ethiopian Birr since Truss has been PM
I know it's bad, but that'd be quite some exchange rate shift. Maybe later in the year after they get their hands on the proper budget
Yep.
Nope not at all.Oh wow
So basically anyone who doesn't advocate crime right now is a Tory?
But a Tory who votes in this scum and supports them certainly wouldn't stand for the population going out in protest against the government.
But if you think people are going to sit at home struggling to feed themselves and their families, struggling to heat their homes and watching their elderly parents fade away, then you're beyond naive.
Crime is going to increase significantly. Doesn't take a genius to work it out.
I'd rather we organise and hit the goverment where it hurts them though and stand together rather than the poor doing petty crime on the poor to survive.
So the Tories are destroying the country after having removed our ability to move to neighbouring countries in the EU. We're all trapped in Tory Guantanamo. Big feck you on your face to whoever voted for the Tories.
So far Truss has killed the Queen and tanked the economy.
Worst PM ever?

Stop making me warn people for not liking Tories. Be smarter in putting them straight.
Would do it all over again pal. Feck the tory scum (not directed at any of the delightful members here...... Of course)
Thank you for backing up my point about an increase in crime on the horizon. I just grabbed myself 3 penalty points lads. Such an adrenaline rush.

Just such a huge gamble especially as it is not her money. Something politicians conveniently forget.
