    Oh come off it! Interest rates around the world were going up but Truss managed to put a rocket into ours! Not to mention mortgage rates! These guests are pure establishment. The very same one that Truss was acting on behalf of. They do not serve the people they serve the rich.

    Liz Truss has NO IDEA about economics,NO IDEA how to grow the economy in any way shape or form.The Conservatives are completely clueless and couldn't run a bath.

    Are you effin insane?
    Liz Lack-of-Trust pledged that the 45% higher rate of income tax would be abolished. There was a promise to reduce the basic rate of income tax to 19p in the pound by April 2023, meaning 31 million people would be better off by an average of £170 a year…
    So sure the elite one percent would be better off: but the average common person? £170 a year! And they wouldn't get it until the following year anyway….
    What good is a 170 pounds? When you're mortgage has virtually doubled and your utility bills have maybe more than doubled? Thousands were needed, not 170, to cover the disaster she orchestrated.
    The estimates says that her disastrous minibudget cost the country £30billion.
    Praising her is like saying the war in Ukraine is the best thing to happen to common Ukrainian people!!!

    You've got to convince the markets how your going to fund tax cuts. Such a basic point. Liz was a fool.

    And is it true her honors list will be published on last day of parliment before summer resse

    The Truss plan was basic economics. If you put money into the pockets of the population, they will spend it. Every transaction sends the Vat element back to the Treasury…..pdq. This in turn increases profits to sellers and tax goes back to the Treasury at the end of the financial year. It increases the manufacture of the goods to sell and jobs are created, PAYE and NI goes back to the Treasury. Manufacturers profits increase and tax goes back etc. Money from investors injected into manufacturing and expansion of the business….tax goes back etc.
    The cogs in the gearbox go round and round and this in turn propels the vehicle forward and success is achieved.
    It is a great shame Liz was unable to put her plans across in a determined manner and her downfall was instigated by a snake oil salesman and his allies which is where we are right now.
    Liz wasn’t given a chance, squeezed light an overripe grape in a vineyard by a hydraulic press manned by men of wealth who have never had to worry about paying a bill.
    Her plan would have provided a feel good factor to the populace and this in turn may have encouraged a blue cross on the ballot papers in 2024.
    I will not be voting Tory until this incompetent and deceitful bunch are replaced by true Conservatives. Now in my twilight years, doubt if I will see that happen.

    Liz was right. She was ousted out because the WEF/Globalists wanted someone they could control, hence Sunak and Hunt

    We wouldn't mind paying higher taxes if we saw the results and had a better standard of living & public services worked!
    But we have the worst of all worlds – high tax, poor services, and a government who's mission is to destroy our society, culture and traditions, and let everyone in the world come in with far too high legal and illegal immigration!
    The conservatives are done for – but Labour will be even worst :o(

    20 billion a month and that arsehole is sending money to Ukraine, the most corrupt country on the planet and our own government want the people to believe they aren't corrupt….. They aren't really painting a picture of trust… Get them out, get labour out, the country needs reform and it ain't going to happen with either of the 2 main ones…

    Liz was right, Sunak the snake and Jeremy the *unt didn't want her to succeed. So they backstabbed their way to power.

    No, she wasn't right, and she is stupid. Torries can rally around Lettuce all they want. They are going to get clobbered in the next election.

    They've got to stop giving our money away, that's what they've got to do. Get back the defrauded CV funds. Keep utilities and transport franchises in Britain. Shred the BBC. Discipline the banks. Sack the regulators and top civil servants. Close do-nothing departments, eg Trade, Energy, MAFF, Education. Reform police, NHS, local councils, Parliament, Courts.

    That "mini budget" was such a stupid naive move by Truss. When you're going to make a big change like that, you can't rush it. You have to do the PR first.

Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”

Published

By



Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.

The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.

The ban comes into force today.

Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.

“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for them, and you feel them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.

“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.

“We understand how difficult this is everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

We now live in GASLIT BRITAIN

Published

on

By



Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.

It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.

Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.

The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.

Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”

A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.

“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.

“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

British burqa ban? GB News guest urges UK to follow Portugal

Published

on

By



Tiffany Marie Brannon has urged Britain to introduce a burqa ban after Portugal did so.

Portugal has banned face-coverings in public in a measure widely seen as a “burka law” targeting Muslim women.

President António José Seguro signed into law a bill that originated with the hard right-wing Chega party.

The policy was adopted by Lisbon in July with votes from the right-wing governing coalition and the hard right, while left-wing parties voted against it.

Speaking on The Late Show Live on GB News, Tiffany Marie Brannon argued that the issue raises wider questions about integration, cultural identity and the role of religious dress in British public life, as the debate over face coverings continues to divide opinion.
