   Causes are mostly irrelevant. Whether the Tories are responsible or not for the economic situation, they will very, very likely be voted out because it happened under their government lasting 14 years or so.

   The Government has got to stop spending, they need to sack 50% of the civil servants to start with, Freeze benefits that will soon get the idle back to work. Finally slash taxes, who is going to try to get on in the UK today when you are penalised by the highest taxes in 72 years ?

   No clue what Brexit has to do with this. It's down to Covid and the response to Covid, and the long-standing (e.g. started under Blair) idea that instead of investing, business can be just as productive importing cheap labour. This is chickens coming home to roost time. By coincidence Brexit happened during Covid, so of course all the Remoaners can blame our economic difficulties on it.

   You can't shut the country down for 2 years without causing some problems with the economy. I'm not voting for either big party next election. I cannot forgive them for that.

    The tories are restricted by their own ideological policies . They know that Brexit for instance is holding them back but they cant admit it .

    A government is elected to 'run' the country, we've had successive ones that have 'ruined' it. Time for a change.

    A government is elected to 'run' the country, we've had successive ones that have 'ruined' it. Time for a change. Don't vote for the LibLabCon. Vote Reform UK or anyone else other than the uni party. Spread the word. Get out and stand as a candidate, you could not do any worse than the vast majority. It is a time of great weakness and lack of moral strength. Any true patriot who loves their county and believes in property ownership should do well. There is a populist revolution coming…

    Does anyone think that ministers and members of a govt. who profit from a crisis they engineered (like BREXIT and the Truss/Kwasi fiasco) should be held account by the justice system ?

    Energy Costs are the number one factor fuelling inflation! Until this Government realises this, it will continue, Energy Costs have an inflationary influence on absolutely everything!!

    Hopefully the Reform Party, will prosper because Tory’s will lose the next election. Do not waste your vote on Labour or things will not improve. VOTE REFORM!

    We won't be voting Labour though Matthew! Id rather vote for a real Conservative party! I have all this Liberal, wokery nonsense.
    74% to 78% on a few right leaning polls, would vote Brexit again, we dont needs world elites telling us either.

    Had parliament not tried to reverse Brexit for 3 years and instead embraced the exit from the EU as a cross-party union we wouldn't have hit the mother of all storms with such political disharmony coinciding with the locking down of massive swathes of the world's economy. Frankly, had we dealt with Brexit as adults the EU would never had been able to use every ounce of of our disarray against us in negotiations.

    This wasn't just the fault of Boris and Jacob, the press had just as much (un-elected) power and frankly they were thoroughly enjoying stirring up a civil war. FGS ! Boris was forced to 'illegally' prorogue parliament in order to attempt to gain control of our first house, hell bent on dismissing a clear referendum result as merely the social underclasses flexing their joint muscles because they didn't like immigration.

    The truth is that that our politicians are self-serving, nest lining and sub-standard, and our media are as responsible as a room full of toddlers with a .44 Magnum and a box of shell cartridges. IMHO, until we do away with money-grubbing political parties, lunatic pressure groups and ranting, ego-mad journalists this country is going nowhere fast. #PullYourFingersOutBritain

    so funny how many Tories are now either openly doing other jobs or seeking them – they know their seat and gravy train is gone at the next elelction deserting sinking ships already or seeking to feather their own nest before the inevitable at the next election

    time for some people to get a grip on reality. The problem with Truss was that she wasn't Sunak. And worse, she has a world view influenced by Adam Smith, rather than Karl Marx. Her parliamentary colleagues had a problem with this, and parts of the government indulged in king making. Yiou can make judgements about the policy stances taken, but at least udnerstand their magnitude. What the current mob are doing is several factors worse!!!!!

    This could have been resolved by taxing the very rich a bit more. People like Kelvin MacKenzie never mention this surprisingly. Also when you take people's spending capabilities away, GDP never show much grow if any. People are spending vast amounts of their income on rents, mortgages, and utility bills. It's no wonder there is no growth in the economy.

    More deflection ! The pound lost over 20% after the referendum! Austerity for 13 years but only for Paye workers ! Tax relief for the rich ! Chancellor’s who sign up to foreign governments green papers ! Chancellors given the job while under investigation then fined £ millions ! Workers who have accepted under inflation pay rises for 13 thirteen years while share holders and bosses get huge dividends & bonuses even when companies are failing to deliver ( railways water ) then when workers get a wage rise still under inflation of 7% you lot try to say the rises cause inflation ?? You must bill thick or think I am ! Take the Sun newspaper A party at No Ten the night before Philips funeral to say good bye to a member of staff ! That’s right going to a top job at the Sun ? Guess what nothing said by him about party gate ! A cess pit from the top !

    The conservatives have been dire but I will never vote Labour just because they are the other lot! I would rather stay home and I love all this Labour will destroy the tories at the next election because this will cause a backlash like what happened to Trump in the midterms
