Unbelievable that someone who only came to power on the back of 60k tory member votes complains it's undemocratic for the 'establishment' to block her plans. A cardboard cut out would be more intelligent than her on the basis that it wouldn't say it anything. She opens her mouth and garbage...

Poor old Peston caught getting mixed up with the Chancellor's name on his show.

My guess is that they were meant to bring or borrow a bowl but brought a sieve instead!

Let's be honest, it's clear from your many postings on the subject that you would have voted for Brexit regardless of the affect on the economy. As for Oven Ready, that was Johnson's phrase so don't blame the Remainers. As for Labour's stance on the EU, why should they be 100% behind Brexit...

The problem as I see remains Brexit. It was the factor that persuaded many to switch their vote to the party that promised it. Corbyn, in many eyes, still has splinters for seemingly sitting, unconvincingly, on the fence which allowed Johnson and Cummings to dictate the direction of the...

Whoosh.

All this detailed monetarist theory talk (MTT) is all well and good but can't this thread get back on track with the main theme being that Liz Truss is an ignorant unempathetic economy destroying cow (IUEDC)?

You singled out nurses, not doctors. 37.5 hours a week? Most nurses I know do more than that. In the case of my wife, she's been doing 60 hour weeks since the start of the pandemic. She just gets paid for the 37.5. Also, about 18% of barristers are employed.

Doesn't the report say it will apply to the backlog of 60,000 cases?

After 10 years a barrister can be earning between £65k and £100k. Pretty certain nurses won't be anywhere near that. My wife is senior nurse responsible for several divisions of a trust with hundreds of staff under her and has been in the NHS for nearly 40 years and isn't close to that bottom...

The problem for the Tories is they have lurched heavily to the right. Remember, before the last election Johnson purged any remainers which included some long standing and (despite being tory) respected MPs. Heidi Allen * ‡ Guto Bebb Richard Benyon Nick Boles Alistair Burt Ken Clarke Alan...

Comps were introduced by Labour in 1965 so Blair would have been young enough as he was 12 then. He didn't but he could have done.

Ideal scenario will be Labour landslide and the Libdems picking up enough seats to put the tories down in third so they don't even get to be the official opposition!!! We can but dream.

Must be the shortest 'standing ovation' at any party political conference I can remember.

She missed a bit out. 'we became dependent on authoritarian regimes for cheap goods, cheap energy and donations to our party!!!'

For red tape read 'consumer and employee rights'

Nasty piece of work. Apparently had an 18 month affair with Truss after the party had appointed him as her mentor!! Says a lot about his character.

They needed Mark Field, former MP, to help out his former lover with those protestors. He's got form for it.

'refuse to allow our country to decline' She's been a minister in the government that has overseen this decline for the past 12 years!!

I'm guessing the airline was a good judge of character!!
