Liz Truss

Everybody has missed the point and not for the first time

The economy is screwed because of the hysterical over reaction to covid, which was zealously supported by all the political parties. They should have ignored it, like they do with every other virus. The government pissed away about £400billion on covid and they've got nothing to show for it except a ruined economy.

Today's budget is like rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic.

So it's the fault of Covid is it. Nothing to do with a certain thing called Brexit.

You don't undo years of the Labour party keeping the west coasters on the dole because it guaranteed a Labour vote in two budgets either.

Eventually it didn't work for Labour, it certainly didn't work for Scotland.

But it's eventually down to the individual, do you want to earn your way in the world or do you want to be a sponger?

Unfortunately, we know what they'd rather do.

They may well say they want to earn their way, but as long as it didn't mean getting up in the morning every day.

That's a pretty un-nuanced, Daily Mail-esque thought process.
And plain wrong on a number of levels.

But as, I remain convinced, it is a post tendered ironically, I'm disinclined to engage.

Couldn't be that......not with the trade deals and the blue passports.
Hurrah!

Haven’t they just staged the most important event the world will ever see?

Trickle down economics explained.

A heap of youz get together and all chip in, You then buy some gold leaf Italian alba truffles some lobster and a pile of Caviar. Give it all to Jacob Rees Moog, Wait a day then rake his bucket and see if there's any morsels left. But if you're really lucky he'll let you come in and lick his plate.

David Lammy, yesterday: “i have a joke about trickle-down economics, but 99% of you won’t get it”.

[donsdaft]

Decent joke.......but.....54% of the 99% will still vote for it.

Yeah what does the IMF know about economics.
