High-quality argument again there grist. I can't keep up with such a weighty intellect.Quote:

Boris didn't even try, just left it to everyone else and carried on looking after himself and banging out babies.
Where has this glorious and altruistic leader been the past week?
Oh, yes, speaking tour of the US. While still getting paid to be an MP.
Should be a general election but they won't call it, even though it is in the interest of the country because they know the gravy train stops here as tories. Will continue for Labour MPs obviously.
Good job Cameron held that referendum to unite the party and the country eh? Brexit, the absolute shower that never stops delivering benefits.
Do you mean "old racists" like Rishi Sunak, Suella Braverman, Kwasi Kwarteng, James Cleverly, Kemi Badenoch, Sajid Javid etc?Quote:

Additionally, Brexit was a joy for the xenophobes. Stopped all those people coming over in dinghies! Fired them all off to Rwanda!
Except it didn't and we haven't. Ho hum.
At least the curtain parted slightly while she was in office to give clear sight of the real neoliberal agenda that's behind the Tory party i.e. make the rich richer at the expense of the rest of us. Make no mistake, more cuts to public services, higher property prices, increased inflation, more tax cuts for the rich are still in the pipeline if these clowns stay in office.Quote:

Let's be honest, Truss didn't stand a chance. It was quite the poisoned chalice.
Our economy was going to fall to bits regardless now we are seeing the impacts of Brexit really bite. I don't expect the next PM to last long before they stumble into an economic crisis too. The country is imploding is... exactly as I suspected it would.
The whole world has economic issues, sure, but the UK is in a league of its own, and self-inflicted. Thanks, brexiteers.
I read today that our trade with the EU, by far our largest trading partner is down 16% compared to where it would have been without Brexit. That might not sound like a lot, but in economic terms it's huge.
Is anyone going to admit the bleeding obvious, that Brexit was a mistake? I'll have a huge admiration for anyone brave enough.
Did you forget the bit where EU sales to the UK are down by 20%?
