Hopefully I've done this so it works.

They are busy lobbying their donors "gis' a job" style

Well in the case of my MP that would make a change from begging the Saudis to pay him so he can represent them in parliament.

Where is Truss? Strange that she's not out & about? They seem to have disappeared in to their bunker.

Truss is doing a Johnson

I would genuinely howl if she pops up in Ukraine

It would be unfair on the next government who are in the middle of announcing their plans for government if Truss was out and about at the moment causing a distraction.

We're all being trussed up like the proverbial kipper.
I did read that the new chancellor is going to see the Bank of England today ( guardian)
He'll have a bit of explaining to do

300 mortgage desks withdrawn today
It affects us all in one way or another. Even if your not a home owner

Deals rather

Looks like Truss has been busy designing a poster

'Getting Britain Moving'

I dunno about "hitting the ground running" ...
She's hit the ground like a fucking landslide of shit 💩

Get Britain moving !! Ha ha
People can't afford to move anywhere. Can't get the mortgage deals

I prefer the yougov one, but they show the same trend I guess.

Starmer is delivering his speech now

I can't watch it live, will try to catch up later.

Everybody gets a go on the slide! All the way to the bottom!

Just caught a bit of it. He’s on fire.

Strong & stable...

Liz Truss had to be convinced to issue a government statement yesterday to calm the markets, Sky News understands.

The government will reject claims circulating in Whitehall that the meeting between Ms Truss and Mr Kwarteng was "argumentative" and descended into a "shouting match".

Article goes on to say some around Truss just think the budget needs to be explained more - ie we are to thick to understand it 🙄

The bit I've heard from Starmer I liked very much.

Quoting, Mr Kwarteng. he says the Conservatives has seen "a vicious cycle of stagnation". He adds that "as a former prosecutor, it always warms my heart when somebody - bang to rights - pleads guilty".

Go Keir!

Well, to be fair that is one interpretation of the word "running" 🤢

Great last paragraph there in the Sky News link quoted by @Notonthestairs:

Some in government are understood to see the market assault on the pound and government debt as a plot by the left, something which has surprised city traders.

That's a real Trumpian theory

I don't remember if Truss qualified whether she was happy to be unpopular. Did she mention in the short term, medium term? Seems very odd otherwise.

Utterly delusional (my phone spellchecker changed that to utterly desperate which also fits!)
