With a new Prime Minister to be announced today (Mon 5th Sept 2022), we’ll start a fresh thread for all the discussion, and also use this one for any other Westminster/Politics related stuff going forward.
The old thread is now locked as Boris and his Government are replaced.

Thanks.

Laffy, your paper of choice The Telegraph describe it as a "dire outlook" - sensationalism I assume, but hey, you know best.
Not a bad article but I would say things need to calm down-all currencies are weak against the dollar
Did anyone see the Chancellor gibbering on yesterday morning in his interview with Laura Kunnsberg.
It's got to be very worrying if he's the man in charge.

I would gibber in front of her-Starmer struggled yesterday too, trying to avoid answering the question.Seems to be a common trait with politicians
Every major currency is off against the dollar-and our national debt position is strong compared to others.Markets sense blood of course.

At least Sunak gave the impression he knew what he was doing!
It wouldn’t surprise me if Dizzy Lizzy has gone within the next 12 months They are unlikely to get a bounce in the poles because her economic plans has gone down like a “bucket of sick” to the majority of fair minded people (I count Laffy not in that category) about 150 Tories MPs who will loose their seats know this too !!!
I find it extraordinary that Labour are portraying themselves as the party of sound finance and balancing the books-some people have very short memories.
Gary Neville now put forward as the face of Labour responsibility ahem Salford!
Global pandemic and global inflation-yet it’s the naughty Tories.
Oh and the pound went UP today in case you missed it

Proves what a great job Joe Biden is doing for The US he doesn’t believe in “trickle down economics “ either
Why Laffy do you moan when any responsibility for the effects of Covid or inflation are put onto the tories but you never cease putting full responsibility for the financial crash onto Labour. They were all global problems.
I’m confused by the reactions of some - one minute a weak pound is a good thing somehow, but the next they’re pointing out minor rebounds as if if they’re a positive thing.
True hence Chris Philp, Chief Secretary to the Treasury was smugly tweeting at the beginning of Kwartengs statement that sterling was going up. Great say the Tories, Sterling then plunges. Great say the Tories.
Laffy makes pro Tory point with link from media to validate it and make it true, someone else posts link to alternative view in same media and suddenly it’s not validated it’s media sensationalism!

Liz Truss: Tory MPs sending no-confidence letters over fears she will ‘crash the economy’, says ex-minister
‘Liz is [censored]**’, says former minister in Boris Johnson government

I’m quietly confident Truss will see this through and I don’t think we should be taking economic advice from the Ginger Growler-that would not be in the country’s interest.
Truss needs to get on the front foot and make the valid point that we are one of the world’s largest economies, have one of the lowest debt ratios, yet the market thinks our debt cost should be higher than Greece and Italy.We are not a basket case and I doubt the cancelling of the 45pc tax rate is enough to cause it.
Meanwhile, the fall in gas and oil prices should help a lot.
On the pound, a weaker currency is no bad thing if you want to help exports.That goal is something I would want as we are too reliant on imports and have been for many years, including cheap labour.
Vogel-the crash was a global thing, but it was exacerbated by lax regulation encouraged by Brown-he did say no more boom and bust under his watch.
