I have two, must speak to them.Most of my friends have said they will never vote Tory again after this !
Sort of superficially toast ?Or perhaps quasi-toast.
‘The winner takes it all’, surely?
Interesting times when your record collection is worth £100k and your house is worth 10.I’m up another £k overnight! The ‘max’ value of my collection was around the £106-110k level, always fluctuating a bit, now it’s showing as nearly £122k. ‘Median’ value has shifted from about £52-54k to >£62k.
The Conservatives: great for your record collection, shit at absolutely everything else.
Blimey. And I thought my prose tended towards the overwrought.
Another Adam Tooze article, this time reflecting on what the high profile critics of Trussonomics are up to. I know it seems perverse to focus on that but I think it's interesting and essential.

Judging by the latest Swiss franc exchange rate, I calculate that I should be in a position to buy the UK in a few weeks - but whether I'd want to acquire that big a headache is another matter entirely...

Have you told any of your colleagues?
Well she did say the first bit, deregulation and tax cuts anyway - might have mentioned charter cities but I wasn’t paying attention. As for the cuts in spending that would be taken as read by the people who chose her - and I don’t mean the members.[
You have to ask why she didn’t say in her campaign that she’s going to go for growth by deregulation and charter cities and tax cuts, and to balance the books she’ll have to cut spending. Unless, and this could be the case, the only way she could be sure of being chosen for PM was to say that she will not cut spending. It just all sounds like a gothic conspiracy theory to me, but maybe politics is like that.

The Truss mini-budget is focused on stimulating faster growth. Today’s BoE rate hike announcement is focused on slowing growth in order to lower inflation. Weird to see contradictory policies working against one another. Also hard to understand why Truss does not see inflation as the more urgent problem to address.
She would lie to win her electionbut I don’t see why it was necessary to be misleading in the context
