Given the reaction of the markets, it’s clear they should have proceeded with caution. I wholeheartedly disagree with trickle down economics - it’s been proven time and again to simply not work. But they could have worked the numbers and made the case.

Instead they dived head first into catastrophe. It’s very, very difficult to not reach the conclusion it’s corruption and not ineptitude.

Edit: even better news Rees-Mogg is trying to railroad through fracking England’s green and pleasant land bypassing legal, environmental and public scrutiny.
