The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Yes this is the fear about the current situation.

Nuthatch is knocking one up for him as we speak!

🤣🤣👌

Haha at these posts

I need to laugh at times like these, keeps me sane.

I need to do some actual work, back in a bit.

Yes, I'm in the office today, so can't keep
up with you once I'm there. Can you all please go steady on the posting?!

@Hallowedturf, well he did say he would if she did. But do you know what? I don’t believe him.

But it is not about him is it? He is hanging on tooth and nail for the right of the party.

The fact that his speech didn’t calm the markets could be the push the right needs.

Starmer’s tantrumy toddler-like stubbornness and threats of a GE, which everyone knows full well would destroy Labour forever, confirms what I’ve always thought about the man. He is not is an honourable, unshowy servant of the people. He’s a supernaturally vain and arrogant person.

Even if this strategy worked (it won’t) how on earth does he think he’d command respect inside or outside his party? He’s damned himself and he’s damned Labour.

Has KS said the GE thing? Not sure it’s serious rn. The tweet below from that MP is wrong, he can be replaced it’s not his personal mandate.

Yields are up nicely - 10 year has smashed through 5%.

It will screw his successor.

Apparently if it hits 6% it’s panic stations, just listening to Times.

Streeting might ride in on that.

Just five constituencies in London paid more inheritance tax combined than the whole of Scotland and Wales put together, according to official data that highlights the UK Treasury’s dependence on Britain’s wealthy South East.

That would be the 30-year which is currently trading at 5.78%

Updating her CV! 😬🤣

First junior minister has now resigned and called for Starmer to go.
Andrew Neil saying No.10 intend to dig in.

I recall pre GE when anyone not Labour were hounded relentlessly, actually still are by some ;

That Starmer’s anti growth strategy would mean they couldn’t spend as wanted and the left would eventually take him out, and then the markets would do the same to the left. Let’s see

81...

Dig in is crazy

Yep. Buckle up!

Dominos are starting to fall.

Off with their heads the red queen will say

Telegraph:

"Rayner ally becomes first minister to quit Starmer’s government

A close ally of Angela Rayner has become the first of Sir Keir Starmer’s ministers to resign and call for his departure.
Miatta Fahnbulleh, who was a junior minister at the Ministry for Housing Communities and Local Government, left Sir Keir’s top team on Tuesday morning.
She said: “This morning I sent my letter of resignation to the Prime Minister. I urge the Prime Minister to do the right thing for the country and the party and set a timetable for an orderly transition.”"
