Liz Truss is new British Prime Minister

Truss and her economic spokesperson were catching unmitigated HELL on the BBC today regarding that 24 hour statement "turnaround" on tax millage and economic policy this morning.

 

Yes, cutting taxes is bad... for the people that want free $hi!.

 

Cutting taxes - as a concept - is good.

Announcing that you're cutting taxes without information about how you're going to fund them is less good.

Refusing to let the Office for Budgetary Responsibility (A Government department) look at how the tax cuts will be funded is suspicious. And even less good.

Ultimately confirming you're going to increase public borrowing to pay for these tax cuts is , ermmm, even lesserier-less good. Not good, is what I'm saying.

Then targeting the biggest benefit of these public-borrowing financed tax cuts for the richest 1% of society (i.e. earners over £155,000 a year) in the middle of a well documented cost of living crisis is ... well, politically .... umm. Let's say brave?

Announcing resolutely you won't be rolling back such an unpopular policy - for which her party was not elected and had no mandate, despite overwhelming condemnation from those in her own party is... politically... let's now use intriguing.



Rolling it back 24 hours after you announced it is... well, political suicide. Even her staunchest of allies in the papers are fewmin'.



She's toast. She's an idealogue with absolutely no grasp on what people are facing. Most of her party are the same. This is Jake Berry - her party Chairman, and MP for one of the areas in the UK with the highest rates of economic deprivation according to the IMD, giving his advice about it all:



The public is as angry as I've seen since... well, since Boris had his lockdown boozy parties... ahem, I mean "work events" at Number 10.

Truss is a puppet. She's done more for the Opposition Party in 7 days than they did in the previous 12 years. It's an absolute cluster...



We're an absolute juggernaut of self-idiocy right now as a country. 4.5m kids living below the poverty line with food bank usage through the roof, energy bills spiralling out of control, rampant inflation which led to nearly half the mortgage market being withdrawn from offer last week as prices ramp up.

Why? Because we voted in a populist pile of junk whose sole intention was to "Get Brexit Done" at any cost because we have a raging distrust of foreigners. And now we're left with a void of competence but at least we've got our 'sovereignty' I guess. It's a total shambles.

 

The U.K. is an emerging country.

 

Emerging implies an upward trend. Diminishing perhaps.

 

Is it true that the King wants Harry to take DNA test? Asking for a friend.

 

No idea. That's a kettle of fish I won't go near!
