Her first PMQs today and one thing that was noticeable is that she can't keep up her new practised voice for very long. She was very quickly into her Jan Ravens "I KNOOOW!" persona. Other than that, no attempt to answer any questions as they were set except for the softballs from her own back bench. I reckon she was just frothing at the gash to be sitting in that seat for the day - nothing else matters to her. No attempt to answer any questions ? 😂 You’ve had a head knock IP.

She might be on early impressions be the most honest Tory leader in a long time. Setting out low tax, encourage the rich to create wealth, otherwise socially right wing. Cameron and Johnson spent most of their time being dishonest trying to be too many things to too many people and often doing the opposite of their supposed principles, Cameron abandoning green policies and Johnson taxing higher than any Labour Government among other things.

Victorian Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) 33 minutes ago, Dazo said: People in the uk aren’t energy saving ? Madness if not. European countries moved quickly to reduce state and local municipal consumption, as well as mounting public awareness campaigns to encourage less individual demand. We did nothing here. There was no government making any decisions. In fact, official 'government' policy was actually stated to be that they did not support intervening on personal choice in the matter. Reducing demand is an excellent idea. For once the ideological tunnel vision should have been set aside in order to inform people of best practice. Instead of the counter productive obsession about minimal state intervention. Edited September 7, 2022 by Victorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) The Truss Plan: Borrow £130billion. Give it to businesses and households, who have to give it directly to the energy companies. Public purse subsidising corporate greed and saddling the taxpayer with even more billions to pay back on top of the already record high national debt. All the while, shareholders are rolling around in bedding made of banknotes. Edited September 7, 2022 by Cade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 She'll be a disaster like the previous 3 Tory incumbents. The PM job is the political equivalent of Man Utd's pre ten Haag. She'll be under pressure by Christmas. She has to sort the energy crisis. I doubt she will. She needs to sort the N.Ireland protocol where International law is on the side of the EU otherwise N.Ireland doesn't have a functioning government. Inflation is still through the roof. There'll be more strikes over pay and conditions that her and her like don't give a **** about. She's also got Ukraine to deal with and a mad man with 4,000 Nukes approaching the end game. Boris is popular in little Ingurlund and won't go away. The Tory backbenchers will undermine her. She's ****ed. She's just another Theresa May patsy that's been stuck in to take the flak until it blows over then we'll be onto the next cabbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not though. she's looking at lumping £150bn onto the public debt. The last published debt interest payment for the UK was June and that was £19,4bn just for June. Add another £150bn onto the top line and we'll be looking at debt interest payments of £22-25bn a month. Every time interest rates go up guess what? our debt payments go up. The markets have looked at that and currently view the UK as a bin fire economy. There's no real plan for economic growth because we put economic sanctions on ourselves.
