I imagine the solution Truss will go for will be to freeze energy bills but do it by giving the energy companies loans which we the tax payers have to pay back eventually.

No time like the present, the same people that moaned about Starmer not saying something weeks ago will say nothing to this.

Boris was so useless it made us wish we had May or Cameron back. Is Truss going to fuck up so badly that it makes us wish we had Boris back? 
 

Somehow I doubt it. Only question now is can it get any worse?

She's more right wing, more ideological. I'm missing Boris already.

I reckon she'll do something dramatic to ease some of the anxieties, she'll want to get off on a good start.

She’s also said she doesn’t believe in wealth redistribution too so maybe she’ll be very bad at this.

I'm not convinced she is more ideological, look at how many times she has switched her beliefs. I think she just will say whatever is politically convenient at the time, not convinced she has an ideology.

well, we'll see...she has certainly been on a journey from lib dem to right of tory party...but she's been on the right for a while now, was one of the authors of that britannia unchained thing, and only rowed back on some of the things she said during the current campaign when looked electorally bad for her, after today she doesn't have to worry about an election for a couple of years (probably). With Kwarteng as chancellor and Braverman as home sec we're looking at a pretty right wing govt on economics and culture/social stuff. More right wing than Johnson, Cameron and Thatcher.

I’ve noticed the Queen of Darkness that is Patel isn’t amongst the cabinet. 
 

Is she going to be lurking in the shadows ready to take over when Truss fails?

yeah, I don't know...I think many people think she was a bit shit as home sec due to immigrants in boats...I think her chances might be over.

    • It was great, but I don't know why they continue to play Wide Lovely Eyes and Rings of Saturn, which are the weakest of the tracks off both PTSA and ST. Well, I do. It's cos they're about Suzie, so he can sing what he wants. They're the low points of the set. The rest is ace.
    • I didn't this time, but I've seen them before and just because you saw both that night doesn’t mean you can compare them. The Stones were great, but.you didn't think so and you went somewhere else looking for a good time and you found it. For whatever reason you didn't like it, but you were an outlier and all the reviews said they were great.
    • Annie Lennox could be the one to unite the whole forum, nobody has a bad word to say about her, even noted curmudgeon Skip 😄 I'd probably even amble along for a bit meself, and i'm also a miserable sod 
    • If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27, or that's what I've been told. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, i.e a verbal agreement for 2028, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/
    • I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD
