Page 1 - she is on the way to see the Queen. Her and Boris wanted to share the plane (he was resigning), but it was not allowed for security reasons. I'll update if there are any more pearls of wisdom as I work my way through the massive work of literature. It's large font to enable us senior...

Such an awkward person. I actually feel sorry for her. Should never have been given a job where she was clearly doomed to fail. What were all the others thinking?!

Her book came this morning as I pre-ordered. I want to see what she says on this fully as I've only seen clips. However there is some validity in what she says that globally interest rates went up, in fact we lagged behind the states. I remember being on a call to the US some months before Truss...

Standard stability statement from Hunt. Truss is now a puppet PM with others steadying the ship.

Absolutely my take as well. Only way forward is now to take the defeat and come back stronger. Whole party needs to look at what the members want as there is a massive disconnect between members and MPs which is not good for democracy. I really wouldn't be surprised if the Tories lose by so...

Angela Raynor?

Interesting piece from Chris Mason, who is closer to this than most of us. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63131391 "A few things strike me about the prime minister at this Conservative Party conference. At a gathering that feels winded by events, tanking markets and opinion polls and...

The problem is you can't keep removing the person that membership has chosen to lead the party. They should have stuck with Boris, but having got rid of him this was always going to be a car crash unless the membership selected the candidate they wanted (Rishi). Was never going to happen though...

Yes I believe you're right. So fed up with all the politics though. Just get on and do your job as best you can. Mistakes happen, no one is perfect but if things are done for the wrong reasons then it is not acceptable. Just feels like the whole party is now fighting for who is going to be party...

Asked this morning if she trusts her chancellor she refused to say yes. That's a few weeks in and she can't even back the bloke she appointed. Not great. What is she doing? I've gone from thinking she was being brave and trying new things to agreeing with you lot that she is clueless. Help. Who...

If I was a conservative MP I would be fuming that the repeated lack of cohesion in whichever leader is leading the party since May. All over the place. I can only assume it's the advisers that are the problem. No single MP, cabinet minister or even PM can know everything, but their advisers...

To their own MPs who clearly realised it was a mistake politically. It really does make you wonder who was advising them though.

Shambles. She should either have thought through what she was doing with the higher rate, or you would like to assume that she did in which case she should have stuck to her guns. Not great. The positive is it shows they are listening, but hard to believe they didn't expect this backlash so...

That is a lot of money.

So the UK economy grew last month despite the BOE saying it had contracted. Interesting. Maybe they don't know everything? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63086562 "Economic output rose by 0.2% between April and June, revised up from a previous reading of -0.1%, the Office for National...

$1.12 now. Almost full recovery in a week. Decent.

$1.11

Up to $1.10 now...

I agree with that. And that is why NO ONE on either side of the argument can know whether they are right.

Yes and I confirmed I quoted the wrong the number. You were right. I just thought it was worth highlighting that slippage of the pound v dollar is not a new thing (as you will well know). Our Florida trip next year is getting more and more expensive!
