I believe Britain is peculiar in having variable mortgage rates?
As far as I can tell in most countries the interest rate is fixed for the entire life of the loan.
I believe Britain is peculiar in having variable mortgage rates?Truss answer to rising increase in mortgage payments
All countries rates are rising
It’s the Bank of England raising them
We’ve reduced peoples gas and electric bills
Ummmmm
So Truss categorically told MPs at PMQs today she won't be cutting public spending.
Hmm, this definitely won't come back to bite her, no siree.
Imagine if they were competent…
It’d be a farce and a GE would need to be called - the Tory members have already shown they can’t be trusted to elect someone suitable.What do we think will happen? Surely she’s got to be ousted soon, they can’t take two years of this or they’ll be polling below the ReFuck Party soon.
Stick Rishi in? Would he pull it back in two years?
I think it’s primarily a problem of ideology, not competence. They’re clearly having no problem implementing their policies, it’s just that trading partners/bond markets/pension funds/the electorate all seem to fucking hate them.

But it's very different being asked on he doorstep who you'd likely vote for right now to being stood in a polling both with pencil in hand.This is really, really bad for the Tories
Basically her and Kwasi have done the first step of Britannia unchained. Hopefully they’re out of office before they get chance to take the second one. Like you say it’s an ideology which as you also point out is not about competence. It’s the ideology that’s floored not the application.I think it’s primarily a problem of ideology, not competence.

Yeah, I expect it'll be a hung parliament with Labour ending up in power.But it's very different being asked on he doorstep who you'd likely vote for right now to being stood in a polling both with pencil in hand.
I feel quite sure a number of those that gave their intention as Labour if actually put to a vote would vote Tory.
Anyone who hasn't read it should give it a read - that's if they're not too bone idle, of course.Basically her and Kwasi have done the first step of Britannia unchained.

I don't know if she is curtseying or doing a cushioned header back to the goalkeeper.
Elitist hubris .Basically her and Kwasi have done the first step of Britannia unchained. Hopefully they’re out of office before they get chance to take the second one.

Having said that, announcing a budget before seeing the OBR’s report first was pure amateur and carry’s a fair share of the blame for the response to the budget.
I also see the desire to shore up the fossil fuel industry and hamper renewables is still in full swing.
Why would you cap revenues just for green energy and nuclear when at the same time using public funds to prop up the excessive profits of fossil fuel energy? If it's a policy do it across the board. Why just specifically choose those ones? Because their costs aren't rising at the same level as gas costs? hasn't stopped them using it for traditional energy and electric generation up to now has it?
If you believe in the free market why link it to another other form of energy? It goes totally against the whole concept. If they can produce cheaper they can offer the product cheaper. Competition will then develop which will drive costs down. So either they don't believe in that at all, or they're deliberately sabotaging it to protect fossil fuels.
They been totally against taxing those excessive profits of the big energy firms as it's interfering, but it's absolute fine to limit revenues? Even though that revenue may be being done much less profitably or prevent further investment into renewables and wean us off fossil fuels and give us the energy independence they claim to crave.
It absolutely stinks, and yet they've got the balls to claim they care about the environment.
F me we’re in a mess
This is why Boris will go down as one of the most unpopular PM’s in history. We’re slowly waking up to the realisation of the consequences of everything that Boris is, what Boris campaigned for and what Boris implemented.
The big difference I think will be that ultimately Truss ain’t going to be in the job much longer so she won’t get the opportunity to finish implementing Britannia Unchained so will have less opportunity to do more damage keeping her behind Boris in the damage done stakes. She’s giving it a good go to pip him though.Said before he was the worst since WW2. Truss is actually running him close already

If she carries on at this rate, she'll push Scotland over the edge.She can still yet oversee the end of the union

Regardless of what GB does, the north of Ireland will just be a matter of time now.
It's a plan.If I was a Tory I think I might consider cutting my loses, ditch Truss call a GE & let Labour inherit all this financial shit,Brexit,war in Ukraine & numerous strikes.
Then dust off the Labour isn’t working posters & wait it out.
Well anyone who isn't an idiot isn't going to keep him in the cabinetYou know things aren't going well when this is the lead on BBC News.
Changing PM would be disastrously bad idea, says foreign secretary
