Re: Starmer’s chronicles
This country NEEDED this Labour government and we must all accept the tough times coming. The last government made an awful mess of things,feathering their and pals nests at the expense of the ordinary working man. I know many will disagree with me but please stay calm because better times are ahead if we stick with this government.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Comedy gold! I suspect that the Streisand effect may come into play here!
Quote:
Liz Truss sends cease and desist letter to Sir Keir Starmer over claims she 'crashed the economy'
The letter says his claims were made to make Liz Truss lose her South West Norfolk seat. It also says what happened after the mini budget is not the definition of a "crash".
Sir Keir's spokesman said the prime minister has no plans to "moderate his language" based on the letter.
He also questioned whether Ms Truss will be writing to the "millions of people up and down the country" who shared Sir Keir's view.
Market movement following the mini budget did not constitute a "crash", the letter says, and accuses Sir Keir of displaying an "ignorance of basic economics" by doing so.
Following the mini budget, which included £45bn of unfunded tax cuts, the UK government's long-term borrowing costs rose sharply by 0.3 percentage points over a day.
The pound then fell to record lows against the dollar, and there was another sharp rise in the cost of long-term government borrowing by 0.5 percentage points after then chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng hinted there would be further tax cuts.
This led to rising mortgage rates, with hundreds of products withdrawn, and an impact on UK pension funds.

Is this the same Liz Truss who believes in free speech? 
Seems like misunderstanding economics is not the limit of her misunderstandings!

Was she ever in accounts? her CV was a bit dodgy
judging by the state of the economy she wasn't in accounts

He received this reply with his own letter attached:
"Dear Mr Cox: Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.
Very truly yours,

General Counsel,

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
I think you can stick a fork in labour and call them done. They will remain in power in the short term and I don't know who will replace them but in the long term I don't see them becoming anything but a Muslim only party now.

Lol.
I'm checking train prices to Edinburgh now. On the strength of this gag alone, you are a strong contender for a show at the Fringe.
