Footballfirst Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 As for Rishi's reported financial competence, I could have done as good a job as him during Covid if I had been given free reign to print as much money as I needed. It's dead easy to be popular or be deemed successful when you can spend unlimited amounts of money. He wasn't exactly comfortable when it came to answering questions about his own financial propriety, his green card and his wife's tax arrangements/non-dom status. To be fair to him though, he was prepared to respond to OBR forecasts when announcing all the tax increases at his last budget statement, some of which hasn't been undone as yet (NICs). Will he be prepared to insist that Hunt reinstates them at the end of the month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me they made the same again when shutting it down. The sums are eyewatering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

periodictabledancer Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 As the ERG cult refuses to back either candidate in its own party's leadership elections - but says it will get behind their new leader (how very ****ing generous of them) they are desperately trying to equate the pre-agreed transition of power from Blair to Brown as the reason why Tories don't need to allow the elctorate a say in who will be governing the country ie call a GE. In addition , the economic policies of Truss & Sunak are diametrically opposed/mutually exclusive and conveniently overlooking they both cannot be what the electorate voted for when voting for the Tory party. Absolutely stinking hypocricy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
