It’s a good thing the person you picked to be chancellor is experienced enough for the job. Oh wait…
I guess we’ll find out when the GDP figures are calculated, but it’s only predicted to add 0.1%. Surely they were hoping for more.
Well there we go, officially doubling down on it.
I suppose in one sense, purely politically, it’s all she can do. If she U-turns, she’s done.
Put it to a vote if you are so confident you are right.
Oh she’s reappeared… maybe she will say something insightful…
*reads article*
We’re fucked aren’t we…
Believing what is right and what is actually right are two different things 🙂
well, time will tell
Dunning-Kruger should be renamed; the Truss-Kwarteng effect has a good modern ring to it.
Her idol is Thatcher. This in her mind will be her “this lady is not for turning” moment.
She thinks stubbornly going ahead with something is a sign of strength.
Her belief that this is the right thing to do sits next to Jimmy Saville’s belief that he was helping the children…
Always lovely to see our government blaming the war in Ukraine, simultaneously telling Putin he is damaging the West and refusing to be accountable at all.
Mature, well thought out points all round from Tory leadership as usual.
After reading that, I’m not even sure she realises what was said on Friday.
No, your job shouldn’t be based on belief. It should be based on advisors and data, listening to people that know what they are talking about, not your fucking intuition.
Anything else is hopefully not survivable, “oops!, maybe we should rethink this” mind you, being shit at your job isn’t a resigning matter in government anymore apparently.
Stubbornness is not strength. Admitting a mistake is not weakness. To refuse to change your mind in the face of overwhelming fact, opinion and reaction is. In her mind, she’s strong and Thatcher like. In my eyes, she’s weak and more like a puppet.
If the rumour is true that the expected impact of growth from this plan is 0.1% (and hence why they didn’t want to release the OBR report), then this is negligence bordering on the criminal. This is a policy clearly not worthy of pursuing. The Government is either stupid, or criminally corrupt and doing insider trading for their friends. Which is it?
This was her chance to blame kwarteng and wiggle out. She’s just confirmed she will be gone by Xmas now
Her train of thought is really giving me dictatorial vibes. All dictators were pushing this “doing what’s right” crap and not giving a toss about other opinions
How can she argue this when she crashed the housing pension and housing market, the cornerstones of the tory voting base
Nice of her to make an appearance. Would have liked it t sooner what with the economy, £ and international markets panicking almost making the UK insolvent.
We have lost our home because of the interest rates, I am beyond angry
Peter Sutcliffe defends killing spree: “I had to do what I believe is right”
Her faction is prepared to die on this hill, believing that tax cuts will save the Tories from an ass beating at the next general election. I think Kwasi got his role by agreeing to take whatever heat would come. He badly underestimated the size of the dumpster fire these policies would cause. His inability to recognise what would happen shows how unqualified he is.
“Shall I show you to the exit door? Or would you prefer to be dragged off kicking and screaming?”
“Oh, kicking and screaming please.”
Ah good. So we are actually skint and fucked because of Ukraine and not because we made a stupid decision that tanked the pound a few days ago.
That’s me convinced. All those graphs of exchange rates must be wrong.
Another shining example of what happens when Beliefs are pitted against Facts.
She’s a fucking idiot. Always has been been, always will be.
GENERAL ELECTION NOW!
>”We have to get the economy going.”
​
Well, she’s certainly achieved that.
What she believes is right is taking advantage of the short time the tories have left in power and making as much money for her friends and colleagues as she possibly can, at the expense of everyone else in the country.
We need to revolt.
> What I believe is right.
Not effective. Not practical. Not what will work. What is *right*.
She’s dogmatic. A former anti-royal, Remainer, Lib Dem now believes so fervently in Conservatism that she would rather see us burn than try anything else.
65b plan from the BoE.
That’s 1.15b/ week to repair this government plan.
Let’s fund NHS instead.
Okay Starmer you heard that, she’s sticking to her guns. Now is the time for a no confidence vote in the commons, force the Tories to either get behind this plan as a whole or allow the public to have a general election.
My barometer of how bad things are:
My 80yr old mother in law has voted Tory all her life (why? because her father did). She has no real understanding of policy etc. and only has opinions on the individual politicians.
She said yesterday that she can no longer vote Tory because of the damage that is being done! She is as blue as they come and believes everything the daily mail tells her.
And then she said she’d spoil her ballot at the next election!!!!
I implored her to use her vote tactically rather than outright spoil it…..she can’t vote for ‘keith’ because she doesn’t like him but ……but if she sticks to it we may have an absolute watershed moment in our household. She will consider voting GREEN! In her mind it’s a spoiled ballot but I’ll absolutely take it!
To have a complete Tory babyboomer even consider voting green is absolutely enormous.
I was flabbergasted. I only hope she goes through with it when the time comes!
The last cunt thought he was Churchill and this cunt thinks she’s Thatcher. Can’t these cunts just be their own cunts?
You CAN’T borrow yourself out of inflation.
The hell are they teaching economics students at Oxford?
No acknowledgement (or understanding?) from her or KK that the country’s big economic problem is inflation – not growth.
Of course the markets are going to react badly when you introduce massively inflationary policies at a time the central bank is trying to manage inflation down.
They’d clearly decided first priority when in power was to cut taxes – regardless of the situation.
I question their intelligence.
To the morons that put this moron in charge.
You’re f*cking morons.
No. No. You’re a PM, not a dictator. Your job is to ensure the country is functioning. That means taking on board criticism and advice from those who have specific knowledge and expertise. Also, regardless of who the fuck you think you are, if you have the IMF on your case, you’ve critically fucked up.
