and kick themselves out of power at the worst possible time for them to have an election?

Cant see why, some decency or honor on their part really doesn't come into it now does it?

 

Its waaaay past 'we made a mistake and we will correct it territory

I see Truss is in hiding again.

Is it a Johnsonesque 'keep the prat from doing even more damage' or ... are we looking forward to yet another coronation before Charles gets his?

Latest updates: leader of Commons to respond to Labour urgent question in Commons for Liz Truss after new chancellor rips up predecessor’s plans

 

[tobyjugg2]

Given potential action by a certain legal company, I feel the need to issue a retraction and an apology.

 

I apologise unreservedly for the implication that the reporting of the Express and the Mail was anywhere near the level of utter cretinous doodoo posted here by a certain forum member.

I acknowledge that in sharp contrast, both the Mail and the Express do not exclusively post horsecrap and occasionally actually do on occasion include honest and somewhat intelligent observation and reporting, albeit not often.

I also acknowledge and agree that they are not entirely responsible for the cretinous horse **** posted in their comments sections or the almost exclusive use here of the less reputable articles they and others print.

 

Yours observantly

T Jugg the 2nd

 

 

 

In the meantime, the new chancellor has reversed the tax givaways instigated by Truss the (absent) Piers Morgan and Kwasi the Kharsi, which the OBR is expected to report will cover just about half the trashing of the economy instigated by these utter tosspots.

 

[tobyjugg2]

There is speculation on social media that Truss may have rushed off to Ukraine,

copying a favourite Boris Johnson tactic (when) faced with domestic mayhem of his own causing.

 

... as bankers 'bonus cap relief' seems largely the only aspect of the Truss budget that hasn't faced reversals

... and £30B+ in service and benefit cuts seems likely to fund that and Tory mismanagement

So, given that Hunt is already spouting how proud he is of what they have done for to the NHS, and given its on its knees even before the expected winter onslaught .. thanks to him and his oppo's

Who thinks NHS budgets are going to suffer more and quickly in Hunts drive to shunt profit to the private sector he is so heavily invested in

 

Maybe not if he thinks a little bit of patience before ripping off more patients will boost his chances of getting even more a little later?

Not too much patience though - clock is ticking

oh, and the private NHS medical data steal will unquestionably be back in full force

 

Hello pleb, we see from your medical records we paid a quid for that you had a prostrate/cervix scan, so your current insurance is invalid. No refunds. Heres your new quote its only 7 times what it was. No smoke without fire.

 

Lucky it came up with no issues eh else you would have been uninsurable

 

Oh - and our mortgage arm will be contacting you shortly.

So Truss must be planning on calling an immediate emergency general election tomorrow ... and hoping she can last that long

.. or shes just talking more doodoo

No prizes for guessing which

You'll be calling Mussolini a woke leftie snowflake next.

I suppose it all depends on where you stand yourself.

Truss stands by defence spending rise

"Liz Truss made an “unequivocal commitment” to increasing defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP by 2030 at a meeting with the European Research Group (ERG) of Brexiteer Tory MPs.

 

ERG chair, former minister Mark Francois, told reporters after the gathering: “We were delighted to hear her make an unequivocal commitment to spending 3 per cent of GDP on defence by the end of the decade.

“She was asked very specifically about that. She was very clear that that commitment remained."

 

-Inde

 

...Mind you, she said that about her budget didn't she :-/

 

 

 

 

[tobyjugg2]

LOL

Truss allegedly said to the ERG that she found it “painful” to allow her tax cuts (for the rich and their businesses) to be abandoned but she U-turned “because she had to”

 

 

So, Everyone braced for austerity 2 , bigger, nastier and deeper for the little people, with even more enriching the rich and profits for pals

 

Energy prices already doubled, and will likely go up at least another 50% come April, with taxpayers paying to ensure record profits for energy companies

Thought waiting 8 hours for an ambulance, then another 8 hours at A&E was bad - those will be the 'good old days'

 

Noticed the shelves on the supermarkets getting constantly thin, rather than occasionally ?

Noticed diesel gone up 2p a liter just over the weekend ?

Seems even worse than it at first seems to me as Truss is saying to Mp's including Hunt, you may have said Fracking is a problem not a solution, but unless you trash your word to vote as i say you will have the whip withdrawn and face a general election where loads of you will lose your seats

 

So shes slash and burning in a way even Johnson didn't - perhaps not given the chance.

OOPs I did something that should get me banned from public office, and is doing even further damage to the populist party party so I'll resign to avoid the fallout  from the leaked letter and have a swipe at Truss to get in good graces of next leader

Trash the remnants of their own reputations for Truss? Unlikely - but remember the Patterson vote

 

Bravermann possibly trying to set herself up as the replacement for Truss for the Nutter right '55 Club' clique

 

Her resignation letter is a farce - they send gov business out from private emails and whattsapp on a daily basis, and trashing election pledges generally has not bothered her in the slightest - until it suites

 

Perhaps she is a loyal Tory and trying to show everyone how bad it could be, and make the alternatives seem not quite so bad, but the bar is lower than a sub-sub-cellar already.
