BTW I fear our future if Labour get in but you cannot surely defend the current regime? Truss was always going to be crap, but could anyone have guessed she would be this crap. Yep. Many of us. And see Sunak’s 7% mortgage rate prediction eye to eye with truss.

I don't know if this is a good or bad mini budget you have to giver her at least a year. The BOE told us we were already in recession and yet the latest figures shown we are not. My point is that economic forecasts are notoriously tricky and the best economists are those that look at the past those that look at the future might as well have a crystal ball. I am not defending Liz or the Tories but it's far too early to predict doom and gloom.

On the scale of ability and suitability Sunak is way ahead of Truss. And I wouldn’t say he didn’t have a clue. More that his wife used all the rules to her financial advantage. I think CP said he was crap so that was my point about his hypocrisy.

The BOE should have put up interest rates a lot earlier then they did. So far Mark Carney is not impressing.

Yes but cost push inflation via essentials isn’t straightforward. And regardless, I don’t think many truly believe there won’t be a recession. What is there telling people there won’t be?

I am a director of my own company and take advantage of everything I can to save tax. Even Starmer's idol Sir Tony Warmonger Blair too advantage of tax saving schemes to save money in an offshore property purchase

So you go on holiday and spend money when you could have given that to these poor people you keep rattling on about. Bit double standards really CP. Show me where I rattle on about poor people, keep saluting the Eton mess member for medway- these are the kind of people they rely upon!I might just fancy a fairer society for all, not just looking after the super rich with tax cuts, but you probably think they work hard and deserve a tax break!

Actually always said he was the best of the two, as she was a known thicko-then the" usual suspects", defended her- but getting thrown out of a meeting as foreign secretary because you have no idea of the world map didn"t bode well, at least glance at the map of Russia and look what countries are nearby!
