These interviews are utterly tragic and clearly show the smirking bitch does not have a clue. I listened to a collage of local radio interviews on Radio Ulster at 12 o'clock, and every answer was the virtually the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine there will be more people with huge mortgages in England though. I work with people in London who own houses valued at a million quid, for example. At the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Clearly worried about the lampposts being readied by "Middle England" as they see their Pensions and ISAs fall through the floor while their half million quid mortgages go through the roof. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General election pronto. No it won’t be anything as bad as that but there will still be huge numbers of Tory MPs wondering what the hell they will do after the next GE. Some former ministers will get cushy jobs but other MPs, particularly ambitious ones, will see their careers disappearing before they really started.

sparky88 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The one thing I can guarantee- the Tory membership will not be allowed to pick the Tory leader again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Hilarious polling. But this means there won't be a GE until January 2025. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagar Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I really hope the Tories close the gap on Labour, so it looks as if they might still win again. It's the best way of a thumping SNP vote up here. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, Salt n Vinegar said: A major worry for the Truss/Kwartang axis of misery will be the September CPI inflation rate (which will be announced in mid-October) and the consequent decision on pension and benefit increases which take effect from the following April. If inflation is around 10% will benefits and pensions rise by that amount? Kwarteng has confirmed tonight that the triple lock will remain and that Pensions WILL increase with inflation, however he also confirmed that benefits were a different situation entirely and that a decision would be taken on this closer to the time. Totally shocking but not entirely unexpected. "However, the chancellor said it was too early to say whether he would keep the previous government's promise to increase benefits next April in line with inflation. He did, however, say the prime minister was committed to reinstating the triple lock on pensions, which means they increase by whichever is highest: inflation, the average wage rise, or 2.5%."

Granny Danger Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 If the economy continues as it’s going and the polls continue to show a similar picture by next Spring I think there might be a leadership challenge. Tory MPs will wonder what they have to lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I don’t think they’ll end up with 60 seats but the Tories could end up losing a shitload. The Lib Dems and Greens, weirdly, can chip away at the leafy Home Counties vote while Labour can pump them in cities, as you’d expect, while adding the town vote in. 1997 had the Tories on 165 seats, I could see them getting less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 So it turns out the Office for Budget Responsibility did offer to look at Kwarteng's fiscal event but he declined the offer. That'll be a trashed economy without due process. Has to be a double resignation. Or removal. Totally unfit for purpose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was visiting Canada in 1993 when the ruling Conservative party lost the general election and was reduced to 2 seats. Strangely enough the BBC didn't have too much to say about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
