Westminster Politics

We will be lucky if there's enough money to keep the lights on after the next election the rate we are going.

True, the 'carpetbaggers' will leave us penniless, mind you Brown's lot did something similar with the 'moneys all gone note'.
With a two-year (potential) time wait until the next GE, Lis Truss and Co. could be in the process of writing the longest political suicide note in history, couldn't help laughing at Starmer's comment about Labour now being the party of economic competence... bet they were hiding under the table in No.10 :)
 
Who's up for another christmas GE then?

They've already used all their subs.
Why would we have another election? It's not like we've replaced the PM without a fully democratic process that involves the electorate, nor torn up all of their manifesto pledges. What matters right now is letting this competent Government fix the problems caused by this incompetent Government.

It is only fair that the entire country gets pulled into the Tory psychodrama as much as possible.
 
The BoE has just had to send a revised version of the weekly calendar it sends out pmsl. That agenda, sent at the weekend didn't age well.

Since she promised to review the Bank of England’s independence, maybe she can move that up to really crater the British economy.
 
I suddenly like the BoE. I still fecking hate the Tories, gambling with money that isn't theirs.

Irony of ironies. The non budget that was aimed at rewarding the bankers in order to ensure that the best bankers came to work in the UK is causing such a run on the £ Stirling that the BoE is forced to intervene to stop Financial institutions and Pensions companies from going to the wall....

The most amazing thing, which happened during Brexit as well, was that it seemed that the British government didn't seem to think that the rest of the world could see what was happening.

I know. What is going on inside the UK government is at a whole new level of ineptitude and incompetence.
They took months infighting and mudslinging and navel gazing during a cost of living crisis, to end up voting for a PM who, with her CX has self inflicted a financial crisis and resulted in a run on the £ and been rebuked by the IMF. All inside a few weeks.

Even by recent standards, this is unprecedented.
 
Honestly I thought the Tories couldn’t get any worse with Boris.

This is for sure Liz’s “Hold my Beer” moment.
