Guest Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewevie Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 I reckon she'll do something dramatic to ease some of the anxieties, she'll want to get off on a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s also said she doesn’t believe in wealth redistribution too so maybe she’ll be very bad at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

squirrelarmy Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 The Tories don’t want her. Obviously want Sunak even less. There’s a couple of articles about on trying to get Spaffer back in the hot seat before the year is out. We need major electoral reform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
