Not silent, just very quiet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63039558 (BBC -'55 Tufton Street: the other black door shaping British politics')Truss and Kwarteng. Strange bed-fellows indeed. Media being very coy about it all.
I give it a year before it's wall to wall Carhartt shops and Aveda salons.
Excellent. Matthew Lesh, Head of Public Policy at the IEA is certainly a clown. Anyone who counters with arguments about “Venezula” and “printing money” is clearly talking bollocks. Also interesting that he couldn’t say who funds the IEA.Richard Murphy was on Jeremy Vine this afternoon with some clown from the IEA. Well worth 10 minutes of your time! https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2022/09/27/taking-on-the-iea-on-the-jeremy-vine-show/
Didn’t hear folks complaining when their mortgages fell to loose change a month. Very few were saying rates should be raised and they should be paying more.
This pound crash seems to be working wonders for my record collection, the Discogs max value is up £10k or so!
Partygate was shitting on the dying and their families (including the monarch). Johnson & Co thought they could get away with it but went on to compound their crimes and got fired by their backbenchers. The smell hasn’t left the public imagination since.It certainly all makes partygate and Rishi being wealthy etc a bit of an insignificance.
Were they auctioning Mick’s old striped trousers from their first Marquee gig in the 60s?A week or so ago there was a BBC piece entitled ‘Is this Britain’s best high street?’ (Or words to that effect). I clicked on the article, and the high street in question was - Deptford. Things have come to a pretty pass when Deptford is the best that Britain can manage as an exemplar.
Like a SIPPS, perhaps?Could I buy into it? Like an ETF? Perhaps lots of other people regretting they didn't invest in tangible assets.
I've no vote in this game, but I think the current setup works well. Starmer has the gravitas and trustworthiness you'd want in a leader who, as UK PM, is going to spend time on a world stage, while Rayner has the plain-speaking bluntness you need to get a handle on fixing the many national problems they will inherit. I don't think she could be as forthright if she had to play the part of PM-in-waiting. And really, neither of them come across as "politicians", so it's a plus both ways.
And the Left are idealists (you can't really be left-wing without wishing for a better world), but that means it's nearly impossible to do enough for all of them...

Get him out and Rishi back in No 11

Absolutely not. He lied in parliament and failed to resign and I am still waiting for evidence he was asked about that during the entire election campaign.
It isn't insignificant in any way shape or form.
