Ha of course. It’s always someone else’s fault.

What a disaster for the Tories, the BoE has now had to step in and rescue the country from the economic mess that they created only last Friday.

The Tories are done. 

[steviewevie]

Now then...where were we...

I was actually going to write that I agreed with Baz Fish's posts above (except maybe the Bring Back Boris bit)...but then the website went down...an omen maybe.

Anyway, will they uturn on these tax cuts? Will Truss sack Kwarteng? Maybe put Sunak in there?!?

The NHS is fucked right now.  It doesn't really work.  

Phoned the GP yesterday for an appointment. 40 mins on the phone and then an appointment for october 10th over the phone. It is mental.

Remember being a kid going to the same docs and you would get an appointment within a day or 3.

QE restarted because the bond market was about to blow all the pension funds up. 

Erm these stress tests that the BOE run that everything always pass. They work well then.

I think the word is clusterfuck.

This is the Tories fault and no one else’s. It’s been such a massive unforced error. 

[tigger123]

The Tories are finished and they’re finally starting to realise it.

Had a quick read of the comments on daily mail, they’re super critical of the tories so even if the bonfire that is the comments section on the daily mail are against you then they are done.

This has the feeling of Black Wednesday in 92...Tories never recovered from that until they were kicked out in 97.

The economy is so fucked. Surely house prices drop...surely. A lot of people's mortgage payments jumping so they'll spend less in shops and pubs etc. Only people who will be fine are oldies with paid off mortgages.

Depends as BOJ and ECB had already cracked, now we have as well only really the US left standing.

It’s the un-funded tax cuts for rich that has done this nothing else. There’ll be a lot of people trying to amend the narrative to give the Tories an easier ride over the next few days we shouldn’t fall for it.
