    It is naive If you think interest rates are dictated by who is in power. Some policies may influence but growth and slowdown are largely cyclical. Low interest rates have been in place since the 2008 global crash. Although of course Tories love to try and spin the crash on Labour rule. Nothing of the sort as anyone with any basic knowledge would understand it was financial gambling by the industry. And TBF I don’t think pinning the recent rises on Tories is totally fair. Although clearly market analysts have no confidence in the current shower there isn’t a policy that will keep base rate at 1% or similar since Covid and huge amounts of money injected into supply.

    I mostly work in the Kremlin so know as much as you
  4. Staggering although more to do with current lot being hopelessly out of their depth

    He knows he will lose WW3 big time. NATO could annihilate his navy in 10 minutes. The aura of Russian strength evaporating by the day. Since February NATO will have planned for every scenario continuously.
  6. You lot are just too cruel
  7. Fuck me there’s a shock

    There will no doubt be some poor pensioner thinking they can have heating on 24/7 as won’t pay more than £2500 as the PM told them

    There’s an Alistair Campbell apprentice style show coming about appointing a PM out of Joe public. Truss would probably only last a couple of episodes

    Exactly she is 100% idiot. If had charisma and wasn’t always on top of detail could be more forgiven but she has neither. Incredible how she has somehow become PM

    Brown is an absolute colossus compared to what has come later

    She only had 30-35-% or so of the Tory MP votes. All the Sunak backers are despairing. Although they know cannot kick her out without going for general election which will decimate them as it stands.

    Hey that US Dollar, the Euro and the pound will all be at parity soon so just one step from a uniform global currency with Bill Gates picture on the notes.

    Has anyone heard from Truss? Is she still doing her tour with Charlie?
  15. Buy the same sort of sock and this issue goes away. Any can be paired.

    Comical they wheel out Redwood to explain how IMF and BofE are wrong and how he paints BofE as the enemy. Never own anything these cunts.

    Sunak was clearly the smarter one

    Bless. So desperate. And unfortunately I don’t think you will ever feel like a ‘winner’
  19. I think it is racist to think Michael Holding talks like a typical black man. Eh? Eh?
  20. He mostly annoys me but when Lord D posts referring to the great lady I smile.
  21. Couldn’t find the old thread but anyone convinced Starmer has turned Labour into credible party to govern? Compared to Truss he is a charismatic giant. Haven’t heard his speech yet and what opinion has been but if cannot win from here then God help us!
  22. The demise of the correct Latin plural. Referendums and stadiums were always referenda and stadia.
  23. Good one

    Well they sure won’t be able to rely on their gas sales in future years.
  25. Comical how so many grasp their ‘told you so’ to back up opinion as to whether player is good or bad - ignoring any performance that counter their point of view. See VVD made mistake the other day. When everyone was saying he was brilliant I said it was good to offload him and we robbed Liverpool.
