The idea that recent events have been a set-up to 'show who is really in charge' cannot be completely dismissed. In reality, if Tory MP's had backed Truss/Kwarteng and hadn't soiled their pants (wonder why they did?) then no-one would be commenting on the mini-budget now. No-one would have been...

Maybe he'll get the chance at PMQ's pantomime.

How did Starmer respond to this from Mordaunt? “And nor will we take any lectures on consistency of policy or messaging. The Right Honourable Gentleman has abandoned every single one of his pledges during the Labour leadership contest.”

Notch hasn't been paying attention at all.

Hey Notch, any update on this yet?

What's actually happened isn't that dramatic at all. . Pension funds found themselves on the wrong side of swaps they entered into to manage their liabilities . They were margin called and didn't have the readies to cover their margins. . They began selling their safe assets - Gilts. . Prices...

You see, the thing is, I'm quite happy to have a discussion about why I think the EU is a (very) bad idea. I'd be happy to discuss it with you or anybody else. Your move, you want to cast aspersions, revoke my 'priveleges' again or have an open onest discussion?

So, firstly, tell me about this ... and then I'm guessing you can explain to someone in the street (who's not your dog or your wife) how it's better, right?

Another stellar refutation! Belief in the EU is indistinguishable from any other 'religious' belief.
