Rachel from accounts has crashed the economy

[Almn0etd]

So borrowing costs are now even higher than when Liz Truss was around.

The economy is well and truly cooked and in a far worse shape now that Rachel accounts is in charge.

Why isn’t this dominating the news cycle? Because it’s Labour.

The Tories were atrocious. Labour are an indescribable disaster for this country, surpassing the lowest of the low bars. Cue Labour apologists who don’t mind being made poorer and having the country destroyed, as long it’s Labour doing it to them.

I can't stand her. Smug self righteous pain in the neck. But Liz Truss was worse.

The most yawning inducing, eye roll chat. 🙄People are allowed to criticise Labour without being bots.

“Rachel from Accounts” is just misogynistic claptrap but go off I guess.

"Why isn't this dominating the news cycle? Because it's Labour".

Do you seriously imagine the news outlets and media in general are PRO Labour?

Oh, mate!

It's in the Guardian... FT and Telegraph that I can see... not sure what you mean by not dominating and because it's labour.

Also yabu as its not like she took over and fucked us... I'm not saying what way is right or wrong in economics but anyone from any party would be hitting walls right now

'Why isn’t this dominating the news cycle? Because it’s Labour.'

Out of interest what papers do you read? It's certainly dominating plenty of headlines I've seen.

Rachel in Accounts is so sexist.

Did you ever say Jeremy in Accounts?

We are being screwed over by the big corporations.

Food, utilities, Fuel & banks

They are sucking our wages away every month!

These are the richest organisations in the world they are getting greedier & greedier

I saw a article that said the BoE is expected to reduce its base rate 4 times this year - probably to help fuel the sale of very expensive houses which then lines thd pocketx of the house builders and banks with all the mortgage interest!!!

I think Rachel from Accounts is a reference to her inflated CV. She's not an economist.

‘Rachel from Accounts’? What is wrong with you? Do you usually belittle women?

‘Rachel from accounts’ do you mean the woman with PPE from Oxford and a masters from LSE?

they have not been in power for a year and someone has to address the nosediving economy left by 14 years of safe Tory economics - and Brexit

it was never going to be a happy first few years - I’d rather give them time to fix it than panicking

Of course it is. Misogynistic and demeaning. Unsurprisingly so though. It's possible to be critical without resorting to that.

I think she has made some worrying mistakes with the budget. It certainly wasn’t a budget to stimulate growth, despite that being what we desperately need right now.

But calling her ‘Rachel from Accounts’ sounds very misogynistic.

Do you even understand how these things work? They have to borrow more to sort out the state we're in.

I am genuinely concerned that labour are going to drive this country to be a third-world country.

I completely agree - and calling her "Rachel from accounts" is hardly sexist - just reference to the blatant lies on her CV.

How Starmer is still in power is beyond me.

FYI, I'm not a reform voter before anyone accuses me, I actually voted Labour in the last election and feel mighty stupid now.

What media do you watch/read? I see plenty of critical headlines about Reeves and Starmer. (They are in power so rightly deserve scrutiny)

@Almn0etd What would you have done differently had you been made chancellor back in July?

Yeah, I was indeed expecting we’d need to borrow more.

Or they could grow the economy and raise tax revenue that way. You know, like they said they would do when elected.

Global bond yields have drifted up for a couple of months, UK yields have drifted up with them. Big deal.

When Truss was in our yields were spiking far more than anybody else's.....as the problems were very UK specific

No they don’t.

So do tell us how you'd do it better then.

The Tories left the economy in a disastrous state. Labour are trying to fix years and years of Tory financial problems.
They also have to fix our public services which were decimated by the years Conservative rule.

Even if Rachel from accounts isn’t sexist (though it very much sounds like it is to me) wouldn’t it be more accurate to say Rachel from customer services? As the exaggeration (or lie, which in many jobs would lead to instant dismissal..) on her CV was corrected from economist to customer services wasn’t it?
