Agreed, it has been interesting. Im not particularly comfortable with what Truss has done despite spending years thinking we’re over taxed and over regulated. I’m all for tax cuts, particularly the ridiculous top rate which was just Gordon Brown playing politics and should have been abolished by Osborne early doors, but it needs to be funded by spending cuts in the present climate. I’d be critical of Labour if they borrowed to “invest” at such a volatile moment, so I not going to say it’s the right thing for Truss to do. The Tories should have prepared the pitch for a smaller state and lower taxes once they got the Lib Dems off their back, but the problem was nobody at the top of the party really believed in it. They were probably more comfortable being in a coalition than having to enact proper Right Wing policies.

The way she pulls a pint, you wouldn’t know she was mixed race.

What extremes? We haven’t had an extreme right or left Government for years? We have had 30 odd years of centrist Governments. We’ve had New Labour or a version of New Labour ever since. Cameron, Osborne, Gove are nearer to Blair than most of the Labour membership. Boris was a high spend, big state Tory, Grocer Heath with jokes, and May had too small a majority to do anything. The right of the Labour Party and the left of the Tory party have been running the show for a generation. Most Tory MP’s are friggin Lib Dems anyway. Early days, but it looks like we could have a radical Government that could be moving away from the centre ground. I’ll be judging her by her actions, not her talk, as there’s a rich history of Tories talking Right, but governing pink.

Dear god….. Women makes a racist comment & you say “she has a point”. For all your waffle and bluster about Tommy Robinson, you’re just as bad. Horrendous post.

That’s why I said it’s “risky” Reagonomics, specifically mentioning the currency. Increasing the deficit to fund tax cuts in the hope it superchargers growth is not, as the original poster claimed “Thatcherism on steroids”. I’m not defending Truss particularly, just pointing out the comparison with The Great Lady is off the mark when it comes to what they’ve done so far. Hopefully that will come with time , because tax cuts need to be made in conjunction with spending cuts and you just cannot lose control of the deficit. If I wanted the deficit to run out of control, I’d vote Labour.

It does make sense if you’re trying to win an election due in 2 years . They’ve no other choice, to continue as they are and trying to control decline until an upturn comes along, will lead to inevitable defeat. Incumbents across the world are going to be kicked and kicked hard. They’re throwing a Hail Mary hoping to kick start enough growth to squeak back in . Not saying I agree with it, (I don’t like adding to the deficit), but that’s what they’re doing.

If you’re going to comment, try and stop writing such utter pony. What was announced Friday wasn’t Thatcherism at all. The great lady was obsessed with control of the budget deficit & inflation. Was against state intervention in the economy, and wanted lower spending and a market driven economy. What we have is Reaganomics, or risky Reaganomics, as we don’t have the security of currency he had. Just because she’s a women and lefties don’t like her, doesn’t make this Thatcherism.

It’s pretty straight forward to me. Truss has thrown the kitchen sink going for growth, if she can get it up above 3% and inflation is at a “reasonable” rate, she’ll win the next election. If not, Starmer will be PM. It’ll either be ‘92 and Labour will wonder how the fuck they lost, or ‘97 and The Tory vote will collapse.

Exactly. We were the 8th best team in the league, just like we were 2nd best under Lawrie . fuck knows how many points we got that season, and whether that was a good 2nd or would normally be 4th/5th, nobody really gave a fuck. We were the second best team in the country, and we were the 8th best under Claude.

Absolutely no chance.

What a load of old pony 😂

😂😂😂 You really are clueless.

Get enough MP’s to agree with you. Good luck 😂

Have Holland & Spain left the EU?

Spot on. Robson’s record is pretty average at best, pony at worst. He was lucky to survive ‘88 to get to ‘90. Because The Crisp salesman, Shearer and other establishment figures love him, and because he was a really nice man, his achievements are exaggerated. Personally, I always thought the hype over ‘90 (and to some extent ‘96 ) noddy behaviour. Fucking open top bus parade for losing semi finalists? Embarrassing, proper teams would consider that failure.

So you didn’t enjoy Euro 96, stuffing 5 past the Germans in Germany, Beckhams penalty against the Argies, beating Germany and reaching the Euro 2020 final? It wasn’t that we were particularly good in ‘90. We were shite most of the tournament.

It’s because more and more people can WFH meaning the impact on commuters is a lot less than during previous years. The biggest impact they can make is fucking up our leisure activities, that’s why they’re doing it.

Careful, the wokies will be after you…..

The base is Thatcherite, a different economic philosophy.

They’re increasing borrowing to try and stimulate growth, exactly what the Labour Party would be doing if they were in office. The difference is what they’re using the additional borrowing for. They’re hoping tax cuts & deregulation will boost growth, basically Reaganomics, whereas Labour would be “investing” in public services & targeted giveaways, hoping that’ll boost growth. Personally, I’m more Thatcherite and think we should be tightening fiscal policy at the moment, but at least we’re now being given a clear choice. One thing for sure the Pinko blob haven’t produced much growth the past few years.

Who is this Rushi?

This is the ridiculous stick that the anti Puel people use all the time. It’s interesting to see what the great player himself thought of Puel.

They moved too late and too slowly. If you think continuing with historically low interest rates is the way to combat inflation, than it’s you that’s bonkers.
