Just to confirm that it was a problem of their own making the pound has jumped on the back of the announcement.
So just to be clear the pound crashing and all the other things that happened of the back of that was as a direct result of government policy. It wasn’t the fault of the last Labour government, the next Labour government, the war in Ukraine, Covid, the ultra capitalists that work in the city waking up last Monday morning having converted to communism deliberately crashing the markets, the wokerarty, Harry and Megan, fuel costs, Gary Liniker or anyone else that got blamed. It was the Tories.

What U Turn?
Liz Truss admits mistakes over mini-budget but stands by 45% top rate tax cut – video
Liz Truss has stood by her 45% top rate tax cut but said she could have 'laid the ground better' to prepared people for what would be in the mini-budget

It maybe, but you kind of get the feeling that Truss is going to keep f*cking everything up, continually.

She was a bizarre appointment, so let’s hope so.
Not this time, I think they are done.
By the time the one after comes around though Labour will not have been able to fix the mess they inherited and then all blame will be put firmly at Labour's and the Tories probably get back in again. But I don’t see how they win the next one

So they've had to u-turn on their first major announcement and now can't deny that was what tanked the pound as its bounced back up when they reversed their decision.
Seems the only reason for the u-turn is that it was looking increasingly likely the backbenchers would vote it down.
What now? Truss was already hinting at 'the its all Kwarteng's fault' so does he get the push. Not sure there's a route out of this where she doesn't look pretty clueless

It's now being blamed on Chris Philp

It’s the damage these people can do before hopefully they are removed for a very long time.

Some of the stuff they're touting is wreckless.
They are a danger to the majority of people in this country.

Probably hoping it’d lead to Alexander making a comeback.

They'd be mad to go for an election any time soon, they may have u-turned but they have made themselves toxic and that will take him to change if it can be done at all.
Unless the idea is to try and make any defeat as manageable possible and to rebuild under say a new leader like Boris.

Austerity, that'll win the voters back Liz

They told us austerity was over.
If they're going down this route they should be seeking a mandate from the public.

The thing is, recently they've managed the knack of finding someone worse than the one before.
So who the fuck follows Liz Truss?!? We set for a Michael Fabricant premiership?
