Stock markets dive, rise, dive, rise - they panic easily, but over time the rises outweigh the falls.

Well Liz Truss could’ve applied that sensible logic to her own economic plans. Firstly she could’ve waited for cost push inflation to return to normal levels instead of going full on copy Thatcher mode. It was incredibly naive and stupid and Sunak accurately predicted her results.

I agree, she acted too fast without garnering support and laying the groundwork. Still think the general idea was good.

The first good move? Allowing City airport expansion which will help with growth. Eco loon Milliband won't be happy.

One of the goals with GB Energy is to cut bills in the first term by £400 so we will see.
The 10% increase to £1717 is below last year's £1834 due to wholesale prices going up.
However the new chancellors measures are causing needless pain to poor households and bringing in very little.
Hunt or Reeves, austerity and banking is what you get.
No I didn't vote for them.

How unusual. Promises before an election and then broken promises straight after. The promises will start all over again in a couple of years. The best thing anyone can do now is not believe them at all.
I've posted before that manifestos should have legally binding elements. Otherwise we will continue with shyster politicians promising stuff they've absolutely no intention of doing.

And they are going up by another 10% in January as well.
Pensioners will never vote Labour again whatever happens because they can now never be trusted - just for the sake of £1.4b.
Next time they will vote in their droves to ensure it as well.
Sad thing is that the UK will be wrecked by then

“We’ll freeze energy bills”

“We won’t cut pensioners’ winter fuel allowance”
Lie
“We’ll smash the gangs”
Lie
“We won’t put taxes up”

I expect the Autumn budget will contain a caring and compassionate austerity as opposed to nasty austerity.

All I keep hearing from Starlin and Reeves is the £22 billion black hole. Didn’t they already know the situation? I heard of a black hole being mentioned in parliament months ago that was larger than this £22 billion black hole. So what’s actually gone on? This is all I could find…

The £22bn ‘black hole’ was obvious to anyone who dared to look | Institute for Fiscal Studies
"Frankly, nobody comes out of this smelling of roses". Paul Johnson writes for the Times.
I blame Brexit.
So they didn’t know about the “ black hole”? Dangercloses post in 17/8 shows 2TK mentioning a £40+b black hole, so what one did they not know about?

Looks like the nickname has been taken to heart. Judging by the caption under his speakers rostrum.
