holding the NHS to deliver a 4hr wait ..... is that not the govt job ?

Ok, Truss says borrow more.

[Guest]

Truss has actually said how she’d fund tax cuts tbf. 

[Kurosagi]

Not happy that Truss is starting to sound sensible with all this tax business...she's supposed to be the nutty one that will get us all killed.

[steviewevie]

Truth is...we have an aging population...we have a social care and health care crisis....they need more money...and then there's all the other stuff that need more money.

Lol. Inflation is the enemy but pay more in taxes. Joke.

Inflation is a nightmare...lowering taxes doesn't fix it.

It’ll help when inflation is due to global supply issues not consumer confidence. It’s not a normal type of inflation so we need to ensure people have more money to keep them going.

Kemi's clearly bright and can deal with complex analysis, that was a good intervention by her.

[Kurosagi]

Penny's having a mare right now.

if they lower tax now it will inevitably lead to cuts. Last thing this country needs. Levelling up, net zero, as well as health/social crisis, funds for schools and police...and now an increase of defence spending.

Mordaunt is struggling here.

Then borrow more or tax the rich. Lower taxes doesn’t have to lead to cuts. That’s a fallacy. 

[steviewevie]

maybe we should rejoin the EU.

[Crazyfool01]

wasnt the NHS a mess before covid ? ... 

[Kurosagi]

Handbags, Tom's spilled the beans.

[Guest]

Tom T is coming across a bit smug. ‘I voted against..’ well done mate. 

[Kurosagi]

Another good intervention by Kemi. She seems like a safe pair of hands, just a shame she's so bloody right wing.

Yes, borrow more maybe....but we already have a massive debt, inflation is high, the economy unlikely to grow strongly any time soon. But yes, tax those that can afford it...do something with income taxes maybe...with the thresholds. It's crazy the inequality in this country. I was in Blackpool over the weekend and the place is fucked...I have a whole story about it...but basically there was trouble, no police, no ambulances, just feral kids and fucked off business owners and disorder and chaos. This is the left behind towns that you hear about. The places that voted brexit because they're desperate. Not sure they were bothered about tax or gender issues, they just wanted working public services, and to be able to go about their day.

[Kurosagi]

We need to do scores on the doors at the end of this...but what are we marking them on?

We essentially owe the debt to ourselves, the BOE is essentially a government body so we can have power on repayment etc. The Tories have lied to us by saying we need cuts etc because they want to take the money out of the state for themselves.

I forgot to have a wee in the ad break.
