In her defence, she didn't lie when she said she was going to make unpopular decisions! :D

Perhaps this was the plan all along.. elect someone so incredibly incompetent that Boris appears an almost competent choice again?

I think Truss has been a Lib Dem all along and is bringing down the Conservatives from the inside. Look at the story they might get rid of the triple-lock, she has driven the Tory voter share to 20% and thought of the one policy that could drive it lower.

No triple lock no vote from me, I'll vote for whoever wants to look after me.

Combine that with the infiltration of former members of certain right-wing parties, making their agenda become Tory policy, and it’s no wonder everything is a mess.

Coincidentally, £40bn pa is calculated to be the tax revenue the UK is losing as a result of Brexit.

Jeremy Hunt lines up raid on bank profits to help fill £40bn UK fiscal hole

Chancellor also examining extending windfall tax on oil and gas companies

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is preparing to raid the profits of banks and energy companies in an attempt to fill a £40bn fiscal hole through a mix of tax rises and public spending cuts.

Hunt’s Budget on October 31 is due to include big tax rises, with allies of the chancellor saying they expect him to target the earnings of lenders and oil and gas companies. He has spoken of “eye-wateringly difficult” decisions.

The chancellor told a sombre cabinet meeting on Tuesday that ministers would have to exert tight spending control, as he tries to prove to financial markets that he can bring Britain’s deficit under control.

In a sign of cabinet tensions, Ben Wallace, defence secretary, and James Heappey, his deputy, indicated they could quit if Liz Truss, prime minister, reverses a pledge to raise defence spending to 3 per cent of gross domestic product by 2030.

Next person that mentions Brexit will be shot. I have a high powered rifle with a telescopic sight.

All of this ****erry has absolutely nothing, nothing, to do with Brexit.


The only link to Brexit is that a massive mandate 3 yrs ago to remove us from the EU will be reversed as much as possible by a load of ********s no one voted for or even fantasised about.

Brexit is causing a 4% drop in GDP plus other untold losses. This has to be accounted for in the public finance calculations, so you need to do more research. Even the Telegraph gets it.

Exactly. As does Michael O'Leary. Ironic that Brexit which she was against got its revenge on her.

You may have nothing to worry about, Ian. Arch Remainer Hunt might try to have his moment.

It may be a reason, though, why the MPs won't allow him to be PM; at least I hope so.

I think growth might well have been, and would be, higher right now if we hadn't departed.

I think you’re being unduly pessimistic tbf, Pierre. The next Tory leader is still shackled by the ERG.

You have admit the irony that Hunt, an "Arch Remainer", is asked to save the country from the "Arch Leaver" Truss. :)
