To wonder if Kwasi Kwarteng is a visionary and Liz Truss a great leader

Any chance they know what they're doing and this is going to be wonderful for all of us.

I mean, surely they know something we don't?

Hahaha.

Itsacafe · 28/09/2022 19:15

Absolute visionaries the pair of them. Stunning!

Actual lol 😂

MiniTheMinx · 28/09/2022 19:16

Truss is the Resurrection.....of Maggie, or at least she thinks so.

I think if the quality of the past PM has anything to go by they are both a couple of self serving nutcases (Kwarteng especially)! He is probably getting off gambling on the rate of our economy and doesn't give two shits what mess he leaves! To be this irresponsible in this current climate is nothing short of psychopathic!

It is crazy to think we have two two unelected cock wombles blindly making decisions and betting our livelihoods on the possible outcomes! I pray to god their betting pays off and we're all just panicking but this is a new level of messed up.

On the plus side those earning over £150k are enjoying a lovely tax cut.

EscapeRoomToTheSun · 28/09/2022 19:19

Absolute visionaries. They are starving the government of taxes in order to bring about massive austerity measures. Plus make lots of money for their mates by shorting the pound.

It's not my idea of a vision but it would be a mistake to think they're not doing it on purpose.

thefartingfish · 28/09/2022 19:20

They most certainly are visionaries but appear to have a completely different vision to the rest of us 😏

Womencanlift · 28/09/2022 19:21

Liz get off MN and start running the country (and I don’t mean into the ground like you are doing now)…..

Seriously though it was quite obvious throughout the summer that she didn’t have a bloody clue and was just saying what she was told to. Why anyone voted for her I will never know

ResplendentQuetzal · 28/09/2022 19:23

No come on, I'm being serious! Kwasi went to Eton, Cambridge and Harvard, so he's clever right?

LizTee went to Oxford.

And John Redwood is supporting them ...

Well the IMF and the world markets don't seem to think they know what they are doing - hence currency crash.

Vicliz24 · 28/09/2022 19:24

I tried thinking that - for about half an hour

OP put down the Absinthe and go for a long lie-down in a darkened room. You are clearly a bit under the weather Grin

This will bells on!

I watched all summer in disbelief that someone with no obvious talent could get so far...the only answer can be she is a puppet of Tufton street...disturbing.

DisappointinglyFlatulent · 28/09/2022 19:26

And John Redwood wants locking up. He's stark staring crazy Grin

Shouldbedoing · 28/09/2022 19:27

Jacob? Is that you?

Quveas · 28/09/2022 19:29

I agree. They are truly visionary.

Can somebody tell me what they are on, as I think I need some?

Primroseprimula · 28/09/2022 19:30

I saw Liz truss described by somebody on reddit as "Margaret thatchers haunted blouse" which pretty much sums it up

ResplendentQuetzal · 28/09/2022 19:32

Well, the Bank of England believes in them - they've just bought up all those Gilt things to help out.

Birdy1066 · 28/09/2022 19:35

I think the pair of them herald the arrival of the Antichrist and the Apocalypse. They appear to be alien since they don’t give a shit about most of the human race.

LaQuern · 28/09/2022 19:40

Have you been drinking OP?

BruceAndNosh · 28/09/2022 19:41

Truss couldn't find her own arse using both hands

Anniegetyourgun · 28/09/2022 19:43

I've long believed that John Redwood is an alien. There's no other explanation.

Pilipalapal · 28/09/2022 19:44

Well, either they are grossly incompetent and this is all coming as a massive surprise to them (despite all advice to the contrary), or this is a purposeful attempt to crash the economy in order to further enrich their disaster-capitalist mates and justify huge cuts to the public sector, so that they can rebuild the UK as a tax haven for the super-rich, with a millionaire/billionaire class, a vast working class and no real middle class (see for example, the US).

Unfortunately, I fear they likely ARE visionaries,
but their vision is not one that will benefit the vast majority of the populace.
