Yes, yes… this is it… without those high interest rates, there would obviously be a massive Tory majority at the next election – what with absolutely everything else going just so amazingly well…
Meh, so what. I want the tories so badly decimated they never come back
I don’t own a home because of low interest rates and all these various home buying schemes, which existing homeowners had access to, which meant that house prices skyrocketed.
I’d love for prices to crash and buy to let mortgages to disappear
British public can’t afford their homes, food or utilities. How do the Tories respond? By being worried about their own jobs. Yeah the conservative party is the real victim here. Was the same when Truss tanked the economy, the only true emotion you ever saw from her MPs was anger about damage to the party. You’d think they could at least pretend to care.
Why is the UK political system so rigid? More precisely, why is it only two parties ever is what we elect?!
I don’t want labour, I don’t want Tories. Lord knows I don’t want libs.
I struggle to understand who the Tories are for? At this point you only vote for them because you don’t want labour in. The Tories have attacked the middle class so much (highest ever taxation), only the wealthy and super wealthy would want the status quo.
The Buy to let market needs to be obliterated. Apply a rent cap, then apply 70% tax on turnover from rentals, ban your Lloyds and John Lewis types from being in the BTL market amd watch the market become saturated with houses!
Unfortunately it would accelerste the crashing of the economy, the GBP and basically the UK but at least you’d have a house to live in!
Nah, it’s the way you behave that’s going lose the next 2 – 3 elections!
It truly blows my mind how out of touch they are.
Rampant corruption? Nah. The implication that tonnes of MPs were at parties during lockdown? Nope. Authoritarian laws being passed? Not a problem. Energy bills being allowed to skyrocket? Completely fine.
But mortgages, yes. The only thing that matters.
The only people that vote Tory these days no longer owe anything on their houses so are completely isolated from this. Also helps that they are the most likely to vote too and are enjoying their triple locked pensions. Fuck the under 65s is the current conservative approach.
Complete failure of competent governance didn’t lose you an election in the last 13 years and there is little evidence the electorate have the ability to learn so why would that change?
Oh wait, they do have the ability to whine, like they did with Brexit, so the CON party will lose, and the ignorance of the electorate will remain the same. Whining as ever.
Lol that will lose it? Not the other contributing factors too? You fucking cunts. You’re slowly turning us into a failed state!
there is a 100 other reasons they should loose the next GE, but mortgage rates are something the very loyal Tories will actually care about.
Considering what else has gone to complete poo, it’s typical only when homeowners are getting a kicking do they start to sweat.🤨
I think that ship has sailed. This is just one of many reasons why the Tories will lose the next election.
I think they have tried desperately to lose the next GE. They want to hand over the shitshow they created and pass the blame as usual. All part of the boom n bust economics game they play.
The Tories have knowingly and deliberately asset stripped and trashed the country whilst destroying its reputation and this is what they think they’ve got wrong?
Absolute vermin.
I love that they always frame it like their position in government is an agreed constant that all the world needs.
“If we don’t raise enough money the church roof will be irreparable!“. That would be a shame.
“Unless we restore parts of the rainforest, 17000 species of beetle will become extinct”. Yes.
A government must be Conservative? No.
Elections are a performance review. The Tories gladly and purposefully led us to this place, it’s not some sort of ecological or cultural disaster if the public choose to replace them with another candidate. The entitlement combined with the complete unawareness of their own incompetence is astounding.
It’s not just the mortgage catastrophe that will lose you the election you utter bellends!
Tories Torying will lose Tories the next general election.
Just the mortgage catastrophe? Holy shit, that’s just one thing in a list of many.
Ah yes, THAT will be what loses the tories the election.
Another election losing thing? Amidst all the scandals, the Parties and everything, there is still a massive social crisis facing the UK. The Tory base is very much homeowners, so if people can’t afford houses and that grows it’s going to be very hard on the Tories.
Remember people this is our fault because we got greedy asking for higher salaries that drove inflation up; we should have just eaten less. /s
As standard not worried about how it actually effects people. Just how it effects their voting.
I’m pretty sure you’ll manage to lose the election without any help from those pesky mortgage rates you bottom feeding, corrupt, self- entitled **&*#
This Johnson-Truss-Sunak Government have racked up so many catastrophes in their current term that high interest rates should be the least of their concerns.
At election time, just raise pension by 10%, tories will get a majority again.
You’ve already lost the election, just call an election now and fuck off.
Lol they’ve lost already, how can any Tory think they stand a chance after fuck up after fuck up.
My fixed rate at 2.65% ends in 2 months. Literally no idea what I’m going to do.
Has it ever been good in the last decade? Austerity measures basically squeezed everyone into a lower pay grade while the price of of everything kept going up. I can’t recall a time when the economy was actually good in the past decade tbh
I’m not sure (maybe I’m misremembering) but wasn’t there a time when the british pound was quite strong against the Dollar? I used to recall $1.45 and upto $1.5 being quite regular. Was pretty good getting stuff from abroad. But now 1.2-1.3 is considered pretty good?
The truth of the matter is that it was the welfare state that created a society in which the majority could afford to vote Tory. Call it public services if it pleases you.
Without state invovement to a significant degree there is no chance that the majority of the public can have any kind of decent quality of life, not with the garbage economy the UK has had for decades.
Yes, that is the _only_ issue.
Apart from that the Cons are perfect.
Not the billions lost in contracts to chums?, the purposeful dismantling of the NHS? the cack handed management of Covid? The failure to tax the corporations and oligarchs? Letting train/ food/ energy/ water companies get away with unfettered racketeering? and all their other crimes?
Starmer and his Tory-Lite cabal will be no different.
TWO establishment parties, it doesn’t matter who you vote for anymore, WE will always come last, that was always the plan- controlled “opposition”.
Don’t believe me? Watch how Blue Labour dismantle the NHS, refuse to tax corporations, refuse to Nationalise the trains/ energy companies etc…
> Lucy Allan, the Tory MP in the traditionally marginal constituency of Telford, questioned her party’s attitude to the issue. “I don’t think we have quite understood the interest rate catastrophe,” she said shortly after announcing she would not run again at the next election. “People [are] telling me their monthly mortgage payment is exceeding their salary. That is unsustainable.
[James Franco on a gallows] Renters: “first time?”
Yup, it’s that one thing. I was good with everything else.
Oh no no.. there are **so** many other reasons why they’ll lose!!
That plus: Endless corruption, Boris Johnson, brexit, Suella Braverman, law breaking in no 10., cronyism, dodgy covid contracts, Liz Truss, ceaseless incompetence, lying to parliament, trying to sell channel 4, losing control of immigration, Jacob Rees Mogg, scrapping housing targets, crippling the NHS, Dominic Raab, botched afghan evacuation, non-doms living in Downing Street, tees free port scandal, Nadhim Zahawi, tractor porn, Chris pincher, Barnard Castle, Nadine Dorries, lying to the queen, propping up oil and gas profits, banning protest gov doesn’t like, not supporting any of the public except boomers, Rishi Sunak and the rest.
