Perhaps we see the bigger picture. 

Overtaxing the rich will only lead to them moving to tax havens

I know a few people in that category. They all think it’s wrong, and they’re not going to spend anything they save, like I said for some it’ll be swallowed up in interest.

Another Tory clusterfuck 

You talk about tax havens, we’re heading that way. Singapore on Thames is the word going round, race to the fucking bottom, nothing for likes of you on cross though, you’ll be an obedient citizen and accept what crumbs you’re given. 
 

Shame we’re not more like the French at times

Wrong and strong. 

People who make a decision and then reverse that decision when they realise it was wrong show great character. 

People who've never had to make a major decision wouldn't understand that. 

Oh yes great character.  Truss and Kwarteng have had a Damascene conversion in the last 24 hours and realised the removal of the top rate was a bad idea.  🙄It has nothing to do with so many Tory MPs threatening to vote against it that the “mini-budget” probably wouldn’t have got through parliament.

The u-turn is welcome but coming a day after Truss admitting it was a mistake to make major fiscal changes without an OBR assessment, it is difficult to avoid the impression that we have a government full of people who have been over promoted due to internal infighting, and are basically out of their depth.

At least the Tory Party membership saved the country from Sunak’s mansplaining.  I mean the last thing you want in difficult times is a leader who is absolutely right but slightly patronising.  🤣 What a disaster that would’ve been.

Truss once again showing great character by admitting she was wrong about a decision which she made about three weeks ago and was standing by yesterday.  🤣

This is why MPs should choose party leaders, not party members.  That goes for all parties.  MPs stand to lose their jobs if a leader gets elected who’s a bit too mad.

Really?  13.9 million people voted Tory in the last general election, when one of their manifesto commitments was a ban on fracking.  81k Tory members voted for Truss who promised to reverse this.  Then she decides voting with the government on this needs to be a three line whip?  The bitch is delusional and a little bit tapped.  The only question is does she break the record for the shortest serving UK PM who actually formed a government.  It’s odds on at the moment.

Have we ever had a manager last less time than Truss has as PM 

Yes but not in modern times.

Debatable.  Liz Truss is promising to take some huge economic risks.  Nothing about changing the BoE’s job was mentioned in the Tory manifesto in the last election.  If she gets to do these things it will be because she won an election of Conservative party members, who make up 0.25% of the UK.  Maybe her own parliamentary party will show some backbone and won’t let her carry out these ideas.  In which case we will very quickly end up with a lame duck PM, and probably another leadership election…which 160k people will get to vote in.

Well thar wasn’t far wrong but even I didn’t think we’d end up with another leadership contest after 36 days 🤣

It was never a major election promise and I think most people wouldn't object to the UK producing it's own cheap energy rather than being at the  mercy of Putin or OPEC.

 

 

We have large coal seams under UK soil, and we know where they are and how to get at them.  Fracking releases Methane, which is eighty times worse than CO2 in terms of trapping heat in the earth’s atmosphere.  It is a panacea that has almost certainly made things worse.  Not completely proven, but there is a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing to this, as was the case with climate change itself 15-20 years ago.

Horseshit.

 

Sorry
