I remember during lockdown there being a photo of Boris with his head in his hands looking exhausted and many of the comments online were like "He really is trying his best" and "Look what the job is doing to him, heartbreaking", etc
In retrospect, he was probably just really hungover
Most of the loons who loved BoJo are in the process of lining up behind Truss.
Mark my words she will copy Trump tactics (courtesy of Bannon) of flooding the zone with shit. Every day will be a new act of stupidity which will be ridiculed by the Lib/left. This will make the BoJo fans side with her and the grifters and more sensible tories will see her as their best bet to retain power. If she can't pull it off they'll ditch her and the whole circus will start again.
4 percent of inflation is directly down to brexit. Absolutely disgraceOn the issue of Brexit, the debate isn’t Remain versus Leave anymore. We’ve left the EU and regardless of your opinion, we need to make the most of Brexit. It’s a good thing that someone like Truss acknowledges the debate has moved on.
As for changing parties, free thinkers can change their mind. I used to be socialist and Labour card carrying member at uni, and now… I’d consider myself a centrist who could well vote for a Tory government.
In relation to Liz Truss, she’s someone born to a left wing activist family, and in the debates, shown that’s she’s been on a political journey.
Much rather a rational, logical free thinker than someone guided by ideological orthodoxy.
From Times article
‘If she wins Truss is expected to promote either Simon Clarke, chief secretary to the Treasury, or Kwasi Kwarteng, the business secretary, to chancellor’
Could be handy !
Next door wouldn't be close enough

Fall in sterling against the dollar due to voteWhat fantasy book is that from?
Fall in sterling against the dollar due to vote
Increase in costs of importing good from eu
Costs increase and leads to inflation
Was from a senior colleague in my departments transformation senior team. Pretty sure he’s bang on
Why you so quick to jump on it? Brexit is ab absolute shit storm for our nation and it’s economy
Yeah cause 5.5% isn’t related to brexit. No idea what all these inflation relates toSo can you explain why belgium and the Netherlands have higher inflation abs Germany and Italy almost identical to us and if it was true we’d actually have the lowest inflation in the western world?

Could be handy !
Also…
‘ Nadine Dorries, the culture secretary, and Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Brexit opportunities minister, who were both key in Truss reaching the final two, are also likely to be given cabinet posts’
Brexit opportunities minister!
May as well have a minister for fairy dust.
true but for some reason when the Conservatives change leader everything that has happened before is forgotten about, the same doesn't happen with Labour. Just look at this thread and how often Corbyn, Miliband or even as far back as Blair are blamed for things.Which happens in every party - if Starmer fails to gain a majority the Burgon wagon will be circling - it probably already is

Um
Is Brexit to blame for the UK's extra inflation?
Inflation in the UK has reached 9.1 per cent; economists say life outside the EU could make these conditions more difficult to weather.www.newstatesman.com
Brexit Explains 80% of U.K. Inflation, Former BOE Official Says
Adam Posen, a former Bank of England policy maker, said most of Britain’s inflation problem stems from Brexit and that he’d vote for a half-point interest rate increase to curb an upward surge in prices.www.bloomberg.com
Prices rose 6% on our food imports due to trade barriers but as I say I’m sure you know best and the articles are written by remainers who haven’t got over the voteAre you saying if we stayed in the eu our inflation levels would be far lower than any other EU country? Why? It suggests are economic policy within the eu has been vastly superior to every other country? Is that something you agree with?
Germany has 8.1% inflation ours is what 9.2% so you think we’d be at 4.5%? Do you seriously think that’s credible?
On food we really are exposed, because we import half of what we eat, the pound is weak and post-Brexit barriers had already pushed prices upwards.
Post-pandemic labour shortages are international too, but in our case currently so severe – many non-UK-born workers having left, many others not wanting to return to work – that last month, for the first time, the number of vacancies exceeded the number of unemployed. And it doesn’t help that our productivity is perpetually weak.
But no @Grendel you probably know best
Not what it saysSo without Brexit our inflation would now be 2.5%! Incredible when the Eu is running at over 8%
Prices rose 6% on our food imports due to trade barriers but as I say I’m sure you know best and the articles are written by remainers who haven’t got over the vote
Well one answer is trade barriers have increased the cost of food imports by 6%You still can’t explain to me why Germany Netherlands Belgium and Italy have almost identical levels of inflation - rather than post articles explain why
Not what it says
Everyone has that issue and we’ve got lucky until our agreements with Norway run out. It is an undeniable fact that brexit has damaged our economyEnergy increase accounts for 40% of inflation
I think I said the person suggested 4%You say 5.5% of our inflation is down to Brexit!
I think I said the person suggested 4%
you’re so poor (like many of us) at accepting you may have been hasty to dismiss something. The person I’m talking about works on our futures team and is advising government on the impact of these majorchanges like brexit to know the impact ontax takes etc. he knows his stuffSo back to the same discussion - we’d have the lowest inflation in the west
That actually then says our economic policy under conservative rule if we’d stayed in the EU has been the best at controlling inflation in the whole of Europe?
