Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
Not great for new buyers or those whose fixed rates are coming to an end. A side effect of the badly-managed mini budget.

UK economy latest news: Average two-year fix mortgage rate approaches 6% - 'repossessions probably unavoidable'
The average two-year fixed rate mortgage is now 5.97%, MoneyFacts says, amid a warning that repossessions on a significant scale are becoming inevitable.

Last decade's woke nonsense is this year's normal.

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
I take it that the silence in this thread on Truss' conference speech is due to dumbfoundedness.
Her speech was a repetitive use of the word "growth" and was otherwise content free - no detail on the how. Except possibly on illegal immigration where she committed Braverman to legislate so that no European Court could override a British court. GET ON WITH IT.

I caught the end of it live this morning and listened to some of the punditry on the BBC. Then they cut to vox pops from the conference venue with predictably sycophantic results. So I’ve not really had time to make up my own mind on the substance of it yet (assuming there is any).
One thing that did stick in my memory was they pulled up a word cloud based on some pollster’s research that had INCOMPETENT in very large letters across its middle. The words surrounding it were hardly more encouraging.

It would be good if her fellow MPs would let her get on with it instead of plotting against her.

Obviously it would be, from a party management perspective. But why is it that you think they’re not doing that?

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
The clear fact is no one voted for her policies thus she has no electoral mandate.
If she wants a mandate she is best to call a general election where the British people can decide.

Get on with what, though? Growth? Nothing about the how.

Don't be silly, Den - she doesn't want a mandate. She wants to be PM and meet important people overseas etc.
