Trussonomics, Kami Kwasi and the pound in freefall, but Corbyn...

Thanks for the new thread!

Following in absolute horror....just when I think we've reached the absolute lowest possible point in UK democracy it gets worse....

Yay! I’m usually shite at titles!Grin

Brilliant speech by Gary Neville at the Labour party conf.

"I didn't support the tax cut that was given at the end of last week. I also didn't support the removal of the cap for bankers' bonuses.
"It was a shock, to be honest with you – I shouldn't be shocked anymore.
"It didn't feel like it was reading the room in this country, when people are desperately worrying over the winter about how they are going to heat their homes, how they are going to feed their families, that bankers are potentially going to increase their bonuses or that the highest earners in this country are going to be better off.
"I don't think people in this country at the highest-earner bracket were actually expecting favour, they weren't asking for favour."
"We've been brought up in working-class families, we want good education, we want equal opportunities, we want good health – we don't want our families and our grandparents waiting two weeks to see their doctor, we want our families to be looked after and our children to have good opportunities.
"I don't think any footballer would be happy. Footballers have got a good conscience, they come from Bury and Barrow and Dudley and towns and communities like this, they are not born into wealth and so when they get to wealth they actually still respect where they came from and they are grounded."

I think Neville has really hit the right note with conveying a lot of peoples impressions with this budget.

Yes, Gary Neville hits the right note, it comes to something when a footballer can call the Govt to account like he has.

  1. We begin with our new leader, Margarine Thatcher, who in only 3 weeks has become PM, finished off The Queen, taken 2 weeks away from work, ruined our relations with the US, crashed the economy, and started backbench rebellion to remove her from office

Gary Neville is like Gary Lineker on Twitter , the minute he tweets anything political it brings out the trolls and the haters.
As someone said on lbc , it's because ex very rich ' champagne socialists ' footballers are not meant to really talk about anything other than football. It unnerves their haters.
I follow both of these people and it is horrible sometimes the grief they get

tobee · 26/09/2022 18:04

Thanks for the new thread @L1ttledrummergirl

(Wish these glitches with quotes were resolved. I know mnhq are on it)

Assuming there is no way of stopping the behaviour of this pm & chancellor currently on their mission to fuck the country, someone needs to get a law out in place to sort it as soon as this lot go.

Did people just trust that this wouldn't happen? I'm not sure how anyone can say it's democracy when the current pm has been elected by a tiny minority and not got the numbers in parliament on this manifesto.

DuncinToffee · 26/09/2022 18:06

jgw1 · 26/09/2022 17:47

How serious is this?

Interest rates higher than 6%?

the80sweregreat · 26/09/2022 18:08

The mortgage news is so sad :(
They said on Friday this would be the case.
A man just now on lbc was saying how completely bonkers it all is, he knew what he was talking about. The only positive thing he said was it was ' bold' , but that was said through gritted teeth.
Nearly every expert I've heard today have been scathing and how reckless it all is.

jgw1 · 26/09/2022 17:47

How serious is this?

We sold mil flat in June to a -we were told- cash buyer. It now seems as though they are in a chain so although all searches etc are fine who the fuck knows if the sale will progress.

L1ttledrummergirl · 26/09/2022 18:16

I think it's pretty serious for anyone selling property at the moment. If banks aren't lending I think the ramifications are huge.

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 26/09/2022 18:19

I thought you had to have a mortgage offer lined up before you can proceed , so this shouldn't affect people already in the process and quite a way along ( I hope? )
It's still bad news though
