Rachel Reeves

Would that be like the 'vote of confidence' from the football club board just before they sack the manager?

Not a chance Becky.

Have you ever known Starmer to do a U-Turn ?

Whoever said "it's all going to end in tears" was spot-on with this one.

My money would be that her cat died.She has never seemed phased by the big issues,it is those small domestic upheavels that niggle more because the big things are out of your control.

As I said on another thread, if it is a personal issue e.g. bereavement, relationship break up then she has my sympathy.

If it's work related sorry but we all have rows with our bosses.

They certainly are in her case !

No, if that was the case some infantile person would be making jokes about Rachael's pussy by now.

Reeves never fit for purpose, lied and embellished her CV, lauded by Starmer because of her gender.

Already done severe damage to the economy, she has to go.

Did she shed tears for freezing pensioners or the farmer who killed himself?

Hopefully her replacement has more intellect and grasp of basic economics.

Symbolises the nation will be in tears by the time this lot have finished.

funny how the markets reacted negatively as they want her to stay and rate her - so maybe you don't understand basic economics - you can't spend what you don't have.

This welfare bill, which has now been cut was due to save £5bn over a number of years. The Tories have openly said they wanted it to go deeper and wanted £12bn savings.

When Reform or whoever get in in 4 or so years and make these cuts, as the Tories did c10 years ago will you be saying Farage, or whoever is in charge, was responsible for deaths to disabled and people with mental health issues, as this will definitely happen.

BTW the last 4 or so Tory chancellors were a non dom, one had a green card, one was being investigated by HMRC for tax evasion and the last crashed the economy.

Putting the cat in catastrophe.

Much better than her Budgetrigar being the speaker.Who does Lindsay Hoyle think he is Diddy?

The markets reacted to uncertainty, primarily because 2tK refused to endorse her when he had the chance during PMQs.

I bow to your undoubted superior grasp of economics

Rambling post of nonsense, nothing new there, but a certain irony in budgie reference from some one called Beak who normally just parrots sound bites

They've now reversed now he's publicly backed her.

The markets like her, even if you don't.

Stock markets go up and go down regularly. They tend to overreact to any event.
The Market is kind of like having a manic-depressive business partner. When he thinks things are on the up, he offers to buy your share of the business at an inflated price. When he thinks there are problems, he wants to sell you his share of the business cheaply.
I dabble a little in the Stock Market and do ok judging whether we are in a manic or depressive period.

It’s not the stock markets. It’s the bond, gilt and currency markets.

They are a much better indicator of economic confidence as it is the cost of government borrowing and value of the currency.

The markets like a lack of uncertainty. 10 years gilts today are higher than they ever were under Liz Truss.

I don't like that she is totally unfit for office and lied on her CV and has done untold damage to the economy with her Employer's NI increase, has pensioners freezing in the winter and cost money as many applied for a credit they had not done earlier, caused many kids to have to leave schools because of her stupid VAT policy on fees which has actually resulted in schools like Harrow and Eton making money on past expenditure, and drove a farmer to suicide.

On a personal I have no opinion , good or bad

By the way, remember awhile back when you were claiming the US economy was in bad shape and that UK and the EU were doing much better based on one quarter and I criticised any one who claims to work in finance and projects based on one quarter etc, then you went into a flounce about being belittled or some such drivel.....

I would not disagree with that,I've invested for a number of years and hit many good winners. Arm Holdings, Rolls Royce (36p in a rights issue),3i,AZN rolled out of ICI. Babcock int.Halma etc etc.
