Tory party is now run by right wing extremist American blllionares who have been pushing their agenda in the Tory party through ‘Think tanks’ for the last several decades.
I know you don’t “vote” for the leader but she’s not following the manifesto that her party was elected on.
If she doesn’t want to follow the manifesto at all then at least have the courage to go to the polls and propose something new.
We need an election now, before she make the rich even richer and powerful even more untouchable.
She has no mandate but also no interest in calling an election to establish a mandate.
Whatever she’s up to, she knows the public won’t vote for it, now or in another 2 years.
It’s all just a smash and grab as they exit.
two years to make as much money as possible and insure the next job in the private sector – thats her premiership
NHS will be heavily privatised further.
Lizzy has been sent in to asset strip, they know their goose is cooked next election
They are on a rule and ruin policy kissing the feet of big money to feather their nests as they know they are toast and the cost will be great.
Liz Truss is an ERG stooge, and is incapable of independent thought. She is totally under, that Irish guy, Rees Mogg’s control. Rees Mogg is effectively the UK prime minister.
I’ve been calling her the Tuften Street PM since she got the job. It’s not thst any of the other candidates were not attached to it, but the difference with her is she is a zealot, and so is capable of doing irreparable damage in the next two years.
At this point the Tory party are nothing more than a choice collection of corporate fuck toys…
She worked for big companies so surely she knows what to do 😁
They have boasted this morning about “incubating truss and kwarteng for years”
Truss has been a member of one, as several of her Cabinet members. They have been used by Cameron, May and Johnson before her. They were behind stoking the flames for Brexit, the Leave campaign and the media campaign against the EU after the referendum. The Tories have been benefiting from right wing think tanks and lobbyists since they were elected in 2010, Truss using them more is only her maintaining the status quo.
I thought that was always the plan. See, the rich in the US got their history tax cut and inverter tax rate with Trump. We had mini-Trump, and he never did quite the same. So all the super-rich are still waiting for their pay day, and Truss is the ticket.
Yeah, it’s more than obvious she doesn’t care about us. I know Sunak was a Tory but I’d much rather him than her. At least he did furlough etc.
How exactly as these Tories expecting the money we’ve borrowed to be paid back?
The only silver lining I see from this is surely, *SURELY** these Tories won’t be voted in again next time????
She is a placeholder, no one can convince me otherwise. Tory party knows she is hated and she will not last long so she is there to provide money to the richest and fuck off.
This is a direct attack on common people by the rich. It is absolutely devastating for the country.
I really feel for people stuck in UK.
Scary thing is they’ll probably win the next election even in spite of this bankers budget. You could stick a blue tie around a dustbin and people would vote for it over Labour
Oh well, looks like I’ll be living through another crash. This country always voting in Tories who just wreck the country and put the burden on the poor and working classes.
And primarily off shore finance. That’s the real insidious hand behind all this. A completely opaque, unaccountable black hole sucking everything into itself.
The conservative party… you are describing the conservative party. No different now than under the other leaders we did not elect from this cancerous, self serving, power hungry shit show.
The simple fact is that turkeys don’t vote for Christmas. So MP’s will never vote for ideas that cut their opportunities. Proportional voting, stopping external jobs, company lobbying with freebies.
I was to be honest expecting 5% cut to income tax for BR. I knew it was unlikely but was being hopeful.
The 1% coming in from April next year is unlikely to help much. Considering I’d be saving roughly £300 a year, or £25 a month.
But then the 5% cut to top earners is just ludicrous. I suppose I was correct that a 5% cut was going to happen. Just not the way I and most others expected.
Has Liz Truss handed power over to the extreme neoliberal thinktanks? Is water wet? Is the sky blue?
She’ll pander to whoever bids the biggest for influence, or who she thinks she can influence the easiest.
She’s no more moralistic than the forever fibbing fat fluffy haired fuck that we’ve just gotten rid of, with less personality than Theresa May whilst at the same time managing to be more robotic and devoid of intelligence than she was, with a thinner skin too. It would be impressive set of personality traits if it wasn’t so depressing.
When are we going to stand up. We need better leaders
These right wing lobbyists are pushing the Tories to use our economy as a petri dish for their capitalist experiments. The risks this government are taking right now are staggering
Weird how this kind of reporting only ever turns up after the corrupt politician is in power
Our government are now effectively a non elected dictatorship, cutting taxes and asking for 1,000,000 volunteers to help the NHS. It’s a fucking disgrace.
Jesus Christ 5 years is feeling like a fuuuuuuuuccccckiny long time between elections these days…..
She doesn’t have any discernible political talent apart from blowing with the wind that’ll increase her pension and most definitely doesn’t have an original thought in her head. She is a sock puppet for disaster capitalists, bankers and utterly incapable of repairing the damage twelve years of tory mis-rule has done to the country.
