Absolutely. I don’t want to see business owners punished for failure, provided they’ve done the right thing (as far as possible) by suppliers, employees and customers. It’s not good to discourage the entrepreneurial instinct. Having said that, there are a lot of ways of gaming our current...

I don’t think anyone is arguing against that, but at present it’s clear that inequality is hurting demand. Employers may have the vision and the strategy, but they still rely on their employees to get the job done. And if their employees wages are too low, they can’t then go out and spend in...

Incredible stuff. True and shaming.

I think a lot of people have signed up with comedy names for a giggle, but that could backfire massively, as it allows Johnson’s supporters to say “we have this many signatures” and I don’t believe in the wonderful world of the Conservative Party he has to submit them to any kind of scrutiny if...

The trouble is she can do exactly that, anyone can. It just involves increasing our national debt massively. Yes, that’s the same national debt that it was so important to reduce under Osborne, to the extent that we were barely allowed public services any more. It beggars belief that this...

Well well well. Strong and stable. Or weebles wobble but they don’t fall down.

I do wonder what happens after they’ve achieved phase 1, which is to ensure we can only afford our rent/mortgages, council tax and energy. What will this genius of economics think of next? Everyone knows that what a thriving economy needs is for most of the general population to be...

That was Tom Tugendhat, and being basically decent, if in need of a little more media training, he was knocked out early. We now seem destined for a coin toss between a man who served as our Chancellor while holding a Green Card, which insists that the holder’s allegiance be pledged to the...

Agree completely, and thank you for taking the time to think out and write a proper response.

Can you honestly justify, on any grounds, voting for this incarnation of the Conservative Party? I understand the basic tenets of Conservatism and they’re good values, albeit taken too far they can become cruelty or indifference to human suffering by those not capable of making sensible...

Not aiming this at any specific post or poster, but I feel a certain concern when those who habitually don’t vote for the Conservatives wish the stupidest/most lethal candidate on us. We will all (regardless of political allegiance) have to live in whatever environment our incoming Prime...

Perfection.

And all enabled by the Conservative and Unionist Party of the United Kingdom. Strong and stable, strong and stable.

I bet the office movers are spitting feathers

Absolutely, they’ve enabled this for several years.

No, they don’t knead the dough.

It’s definitely an error to confuse being socially liberal with being leftist in politics. I don’t doubt there is crossover in some cases, but there will similarly be some crossover on the right as well, I suspect in similar numbers. I personally find the BBC to be socially liberal, but it’s...

He does, but he’s the tip of something nasty, we need to be identifying who’s bankrolling and enabling Johnson. He’s the figurehead for something awful, but he was just “the ‘best’ man for the job” who was willing to do it. Kwarteng, Sunak, Patel, Gove, JRM and others are all part of the...

Exactly this. This feels like part of a huge power grab, and I get the impression that those doing the grabbing are getting further emboldened by their successes and pushing on for more. All the while they can frame their attacks on international law and institutions as “Britain regaining its...
