    Ho ho ho ho.

    I can only imagine that Labour haven’t pushed for this sooner to find the right time to stick it to the Tories. But this needs to happen. And it needs to happen soon.

    Some brilliant political manoeuvring by Labour. Really interested to see how the tories worm their way out of this one

    Usually the economic narrative that takes hold amongst the general public is a gross oversimplification or distortion of what has happened.

    It is still a source of amazement to me that “Liz Truss’s catastrophic mini-budget, which sent the financial markets into meltdown and drove up mortgage rates” is not only accurate but kind of understates the stupidity of what happened.

    The Tory faithful elected a simpleton, who implemented an ideological belief that has been tested in the real world many, many times and has never delivered the result that is promised (rather than the result that fantastically wealthy individuals get even wealthier, which is the actual desired outcome.)
