I doubt they're besties after the last six weeks but to be honest I just put that down to one of those things rather than it necessarily being deliberate.

I notice Truss and Sunak were kind of sat next to each other when the result was read out, she got up to the stage and walked straight past him without shaking hands or acknowledging each other, in fact they didn't even look at each other. Thought that was a bit weird and impolite on her part.
I just came here to post exactly that.

Not a good start for leadership style

Patel gone.

Odd as I didn't think we could end up with someone worse as Home Secretary but if it's Braverman I'm really not sure that's true.
Braverman is just as nasty and even thicker.
Oops didn't see this. Whats the seething anger she has suppressed till she finally got some power?

I put it down to her being an android who struggles with human emotions and social conventions. The evidence is all there.

Maybe this is an acknowledgement that the inflation is being driven by external factors, mainly our cold war with Russia, than by an excess of wealth solshing about.

Further weakening the pound, which will increase inflation, thus requiring even higher interest rates

The alleged big money cuts coming to help with the energy crisis is a worry? Where is this money coming from seeing as a country we are massively in debt? Please can someone with knowledge explain how this will work? A genuine question?

Main cabinet positions will be right wing. She has to wind the left up and put Starmer in a difficult position. He will then have to get off the fence and back his left wingers. Prefect strategy make him look more like Corbyn

This is what we end up with. I think we’d be better off in a dictatorship. I wonder what the property market is like in Uganda at the moment?

Given the predictions without help we are talking £500+ a month for energy for an average house. People simply can’t afford that. I don’t mean “they will have to tighten belts”, I mean people simply do not have the money. Bills just won’t get paid on a massive scale. Doing nothing would be devastating for everyone as it would trash the economy.

Apparently gas has gone from 70p per therm to £5 wholesale.

If that’s your take on it Ribena then you’re more stupid than I thought. She’s been a liberal her whole life until in office.

‘It winds up the lefty’s’. How fking pathetic.
