steviewevie Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Definitely a big gamble with doing all this in hope that leads to growth. Maybe it will pay off and they'll be rewarded at next election, maybe it won't and things will get even shittier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this. It risks turbo-boosting the rich-poor divide with 'growth' at the top end and Austerity 2.0 for the rest of us. If they can't fix public services then it doesn't matter what metrics they spin 'amazing' growth and pat themselves on the back with. People have had a real taste of society crumbling all around them this year. And if the backbenchers are already grumbling then Truss is going to have a rough ride holding it all together.

Kurosagi Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 You're not wrong, the situation seems potentially febrile after the PTSD from their squalid support of Johnson for the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard on the radio some chap saying before today the Government had the biggest tax income since the 40's. After today it will still be very high intake. Trouble will be a lot of tax will have to service the country's debts. They really are taking a gamble that people are going to spend more and on growth. Can not really see it bringing down inflation and then rates will go up again and more interest on those debts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
