O/T:- Impressed with the leadership

“Cost of living crisis, lift cap on Banker's bonuses .

NHS on its knees, memo sent to stop using Oxford commas.”

Not my words, but they sum up Truss’s new Government.

Well I think that today we have seen the way we will be going for the next two years.

Can anyone tell me how the Chancellor's statement will give hope to the lower paid? Yes of course there was some help with energy costs, but

Reduction in higher rate of tax
Reduction in NI
Reduction in basic rate of tax
No stamp duty on 'cheaper' housing (that will just inflate house prices even more)

Then he did do something for those on benefits - tightened up the rules!

Liz Truss sat there smug and smirking - what have the Tory members done?

Not sure I would ever say this, but I wish we could have Boris back.

As a Conservative voter in the past, I really cannot bring myself at the moment to give them my vote again.

A massive gamble with the country's finances - I only hope the dice will land the right way up.

I wonder if Kwarteng has the note ready ...... 'There's nothing left, we've spent it all'.

It's very clever really and saves on care for the elderly, food as well as time typing wasteful items. Just think about the statement "Let's eat grandma" and you'll understand the benefits.

The Selfservatives doing what they have always done…

Socialism for the Rich
Capitalism for the Poor

Well I suppose it's honesty at last, no more gaslighting with the fictitious 'levelling up' agenda

The tories are there to represent the super-rich, so let's not be surprised when they act only in the interests of the super-rich.

It's been a good few days for all the NCM posters who are bankers, hedge fund managers, large business owners, top rate tax payers, millionaires or billionaires (Well I assume that's what they are since they vote tory...) These posters must be very pleased with their windfalls

Was thinking the same. The ordinary folks are being asset stripped in plain view and they voted for it!

[Elite_Pie]

Basically, “thanks for voting me in, I’ll do what you Tory party members want rather than what the country needs”.

Who would have thought it!

As usual, Frenchy, the voice of sanity. Until the left works out a way to mobilise and involve voters under30, our electorate looks like voting Tory forever. Mind, did you see that major poll of 25 - 34 year olds which voted 61% that having a strong leader was more important than Parliamentary elections? DEpressing.

[Mapperleypie]

What a shambles.
