Hopefully I've done this so it works.

How, how can they not have predicted that this would happen? There's no extraneous factors here, the reaction was immediate!

Truss probably hiding with covers pulled over her head.

It's pretty clear this is intentional harm to profit a tiny tiny minority

I really would like to see @janiiejones view on this mess. The pension fund issue is just astounding.

How can it be otherwise?

Sorry that was to @Chevyimpala67

A time to be thankful for the BOE's independence.

I'm pretty sure The Treasury did predict this would happen. That's why they sacked Tom Scholar.

I don't think this bunch like reality interfering with their ideology.

Spot on

Yep.

The answer is usually the most obvious, despite how incredible it may seem.

Anyone else noticed the BBC seem to be giving Labour a really hard time about their policies - yet don't seem to challenge the actual government in charge over their actual policies that are currently running.

Radio 4 has been pissing me off this week

I'm glad I'm not near retirement age tbh.

There must be people near retirement really really worried right now

TBF I voted for him too.

I regret it now.

Massively!

They have probably been taking advice from a few spotty-faced fast streamers fresh from Oxbridge. No experienced civil servant would have thought any of this ok, I'm certain.

Well now we know what Truss has been doing.

Had a phone conversation with 🇬🇧 PM @trussliz. The UK has always been among the leaders in supporting Ukraine. We expect London’s leadership in reaction to Russian sham referenda as well. Defense and financial aid to Ukraine must be enhanced in response

This is the interview I mentioned above where they gave him such a hard time yet he was clear and concise and honest.

I thought they needed to stop talking and let him speak.

Yeah.

I bet you do.

Not like his history as a journalist, mayor of London, racist, homophobe, misogynist, xenophobe or cheating spouse could have given you any idea of his true character, eh?

Gosh... yes...

And #porkmarkets and #WhereisthePM is trending on Twitter.

I sorry, itisgettingweird, but it is true that anyone voting for Johnson knew what they were getting. Even if you had your eyes and ears shut to all the evidence before 2019, his illegal prorogation of Parliament showed you who he is.

Using the Johnson playbook is not going to wash this time.

2 years to go. Not happy.

It won’t be two years. Two months is pushing it.

Saw this on FB

We are completely at the mercy of the Conservative Party on that point though aren't we?

We are. But it seems backbenchers are saying they won’t vote any of Truss’ legislation through, how long could she survive that? Apparently letters are going in to the 1922 already.

They really are stuck now.
They can't come out and reiterate their plans because the markets will punish them (and us) again.
They can't u-turn because that would be the end for Truss & Kwarteng and as importantly the ERG Cabinet members (pretty much all).

So they say nothing and look hopelessly unable to lead the country.
