l am not doubting it is a cross party issue but we were discussing Kwasi Kwarteng.

Without excusing any poor admin, I think we're all sharp enough to appreciate that some ommissions are more important than others .

Given the Conservatives have been the governing party for the last 12 years to suggest the other political parties are just as bad is very much a weak straw man argument.
The Conservatives wholly own this mess.

Voters have the right whether right or wrong to vote for whom suits them personally.

Totally agree.
But don't imagine for one minute that the lying, hypocritical, fence sitting, racist labour party under starmer would be any better.
They need a new leader or the country will be screwed for years.

The question is, could they do any worse ?

I don't know of any other political leader, Labour or Conservative, who has lost the country £65bn in one mini budget leading the Bank of England to intervene at the time and again today. It's without precedent and pretty much anyone would do better including Starmer.
I don't think the Labour Party (and for that matter the Conservative Party or Liberal Democrat Party) is racist. All parties including the Labour Party will have had members in them who are racist and will doubtless have expelled councillors who who were, too.

Oh I wonder who is better, if 12 years of this bs isn't enough for you to have come to a decision then I suspect you'll never be able to and no we don't deserve better than this, we get the politicians we deserve because we've allowed them to be put in place

Racist labour party? Is this about antisemitism again, where the equality act was found to have been breached a total of two times?

Re: Liz Truss [Prime Minister]
The Bank of England have confirmed they'll stop intervening to buy government debt on Friday which has sent the pound falling again.

Re: Liz Truss [Prime Minister]
Good summary of the dilemma faced by Kwarteng and Truss.
Quote:
By the way, if the fundamental threat to financial stability is - as I argue - the unfunded tax cuts, a restoration of stability requires the Chancellor to cancel or massively delay the cuts (and increase corporation tax as per Sunak’s plan).
But I don’t think there has ever been a u-turn on that scale in modern politics. Kwarteng could not survive that humiliation and it is not clear the PM could either, because the big money cuts were her summer leadership pledges. This is a monster of an interconnected political and economic crisis.

If he stuck to his original view of the world he would see it’s no dilemma at all. More chaos is more profitable for the hedge funds and vulture capitalists. Especially if they are funding the people crashing the bus.
