Let’s have a look at it from the perspective of another country. Let’s say Spain, where I live. You know, the country that many Brits like to tell themselves is one of the basket cases of Europe.
Early doors went for a massive windfall tax on the energy companies.
Followed by tough price caps on gas and electricity.
Followed by strict price controls on the price of petrol and diesel.
After the energy companies (even after the windfall tax) complained that there was nowhere to park their excessive profits, hit the banks holding their money hard with a windfall tax.
Decided to make all public transport free to use for the rest of the year.
Last week decided to go after a windfall tax on the super mega uber-rich. (Anyone with a fortuna grande.)
And despite it all, have reduced the debt to GDP ratio by 8%.
Have raised the rate at which anyone starts to pay tax.
Currently has a budget surplus.
Some basket case, eh?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well done Spain for reducing their debt to GDP ratio down from 120%
UKs GDP per capita is about 50% more than Spain's.
They are not a shining light of a modern economy, while they have improved their situation slightly in recent times, that is from a position of teetering on the edge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's obviously talking about the (excellent) work the current govt has done given the state of the country when it took over and the challenges it has faced (many of which have been very similar to those the UK has faced and the UK govt has failed to act on).
Not the entire facking politico-economic history of the country

Please dont talk common sense to Devon, he proceeds to run away.

The likes of Sandy are stuck in their ways, he will vote Liebour no matter what, even in the face of complete incompetence and the likes of Blair and Brown bankrupting the country.
Their is zero guarantee the Liebour Party will do a better job than the Tories, and with their track record they could in fact do a lot worse.
Have you seen how grammatically poor that Angela Raynor is, it makes me wonder how she made it to become an MP, do we really want people like that running the country.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are a dumb person. I just want you to know that your opinion is terrible and dumb people like you are responsible for the UK falling as far as it has. Cheers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As regards voters being dumb......you can certainly say the same thing about Donald Trump's base over here!
That is how Politicians get into power.... by dumb voters.
Well the question has to be......How Dumb is Liz Truss?
She went to Merton Oxford and studied PPE (the standard easy degree), but nobody, I repeat nobody, can discover what class of degree she got!!
I will bet Sandy a pint of best bitter that it wasn't a FIRST!
However, she is worth 8.4 Million GBP (which has gone down dramatically against the US dollar).
Finally I've seen her on TV several times here in the USA. And
1. I would never have guessed she had any kind of Oxford degree, even a third class degree.
2. She strikes me as a suburban housewife who would cheat on her husband if she was good looking enough, and clever enough to get away with it.
3. Good luck over there in Blighty land! We have our problems brewing here with Donald Trump preparing to run for President again. If THAT happens, Liz Truss will seem like a good dream that you woke up from and can't remember...except that it was good!

There is plenty fecking wrong with the Tories Sandy. I just simply subscribe the view that everything about one party is right/correct/better and everything about the other is bad/wrong/worse. I am very wiling to be convinced by a credible alternative and with the way the Tories are going right now, they dont even need to be that credible to offer something better

I can tell you this. The choices the tories have made over the last 12 years have devastated my family
I lost my brother to mental health issues after he was told the cuts through austerity meant he could not receive the help he needed
I lost both my grandmothers to covid after the tories illegally placed covid positive patients in their care homes due to there not being enough hospital beds at our local hospital due to Tory austerity
I have had my pay cut every year for 12 years, as a firefighter. I am now £12000 down per annum on what I should be, due to Tory cuts because of austerity, covid, insertrecentexcusehere. This has put myself and my family in hardship.
For me and my family this governments incompetence has meant literally life and death.
I cannot see ANY good tories have done in the last 12 years. Not one single thing.
Stop with the tribalism, look around you at the utter state this country is in. Certainly the worst in my 45 years.
Get them out.

This country has been leaderless and rudderless for a long time now.
Johnson was an appalling PM, just as anyone who knew of his history of being an appalling human being predicted he would be. He insisted on remaining in office after being ousted by his own Party, but went totally AWOL for months leaving the country bereft of any leadership during a rapidly deteriorating energy and cost of living crisis.
It took an eternity for the vile and totally out of her depth Truss to get appointed, and since she’s been PM the only thing anyone has seen of her was at the Queens funeral.
The only member of the cabinet who has been seen or heard from this year is the new Chancellor, and all he’s succeeded in doing is shafting 99% of the population in his first morning on the job and absolutely tanking the facking economy in the process.
It’s an absolute shambles of a catastrophe, they are simply not fit to govern and anyone who says otherwise is in desperate need of a lobotomy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would go further ace and say some of them should be in prison
Where is the covid inquiry?
Both Truss and that gcse level accountant have kept quiet as well. They should be arrested.
The IMF are putting the boot in now.

I've just said on another thread that I cannot remember the last time (if it has ever happened) that I've heard in the same week everyone from left-wing think tanks, anti-poverty campaigners and environmental charities, to leading figures in other G7 governments, top civil servants and former chiefs of the BoE, to right wing think tanks, hedge fund managers, investment bankers and the bleeding IMF criticising a government's overarching economic strategy
Truss and Kwarteng are so out of their depth that they've made The Abyss look like a kids' facking paddling pool in their first week in their jobs

You'd think after a good 50+ years of examples showing that trickle down economics doesn't work, we'd have people stop saying "but it could".
Those at the top I understand, but how regular people are still fooled by it is beyond me.

3. Good luck over there in Blighty land! We have our problems brewing here with Donald Trump preparing to run for President again. If THAT happens, Liz Truss will seem like a good dream that you woke up from and can't remember...except that it was good!

Let’s have a look at it from the perspective of another country. Let’s say Spain, where I live. You know, the country that many Brits like to tell themselves is one of the basket cases of Europe.
Early doors went for a massive windfall tax on the energy companies.
Followed by tough price caps on gas and electricity.
Followed by strict price controls on the price of petrol and diesel.
After the energy companies (even after the windfall tax) complained that there was nowhere to park their excessive profits, hit the banks holding their money hard with a windfall tax.
Decided to make all public transport free to use for the rest of the year.
Last week decided to go after a windfall tax on the super mega uber-rich. (Anyone with a fortuna grande.)
And despite it all, have reduced the debt to GDP ratio by 8%.
Have raised the rate at which anyone starts to pay tax.
Currently has a budget surplus.
Some basket case, eh?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well done Spain for reducing their debt to GDP ratio down from 120%
UKs GDP per capita is about 50% more than Spain's.
They are not a shining light of a modern economy, while they have improved their situation slightly in recent times, that is from a position of teetering on the edge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's obviously talking about the (excellent) work the current govt has done given the state of the country when it took over and the challenges it has faced (many of which have been very similar to those the UK has faced and the UK govt has failed to act on).
Not the entire facking politico-economic history of the country
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please dont talk common sense to Devon, he proceeds to run away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is OK, but politically cannot see anything wrong with the Tories. You would have to be braindead to keep supporting them as it stands.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is plenty fecking wrong with the Tories Sandy. I just simply subscribe the view that everything about one party is right/correct/better and everything about the other is bad/wrong/worse. I am very wiling to be convinced by a credible alternative and with the way the Tories are going right now, they dont even need to be that credible to offer something better

Nice one Edin. Pops in to a thread +100 comments deep, makes this comment and then disappears.
I have commented plenty on here today but I also have a job to do, a wife with covid, 2 kids to pick up from school and feed, then take to football training and then collect etc etc. Sometimes life just gets in the way of JA606

Devonshire. I thank you for your input on this article. Even though I disagree with you.
Most posters acted in a fairly civil way.

I can tell you this. The choices the tories have made over the last 12 years have devastated my family
I lost my brother to mental health issues after he was told the cuts through austerity meant he could not receive the help he needed
I lost both my grandmothers to covid after the tories illegally placed covid positive patients in their care homes due to there not being enough hospital beds at our local hospital due to Tory austerity
I have had my pay cut every year for 12 years, as a firefighter. I am now £12000 down per annum on what I should be, due to Tory cuts because of austerity, covid, insertrecentexcusehere. This has put myself and my family in hardship.
For me and my family this governments incompetence has meant literally life and death.
I cannot see ANY good tories have done in the last 12 years. Not one single thing.
Stop with the tribalism, look around you at the utter state this country is in. Certainly the worst in my 45 years.
Get them out.

This country has been leaderless and rudderless for a long time now.
Johnson was an appalling PM, just as anyone who knew of his history of being an appalling human being predicted he would be. He insisted on remaining in office after being ousted by his own Party, but went totally AWOL for months leaving the country bereft of any leadership during a rapidly deteriorating energy and cost of living crisis.
It took an eternity for the vile and totally out of her depth Truss to get appointed, and since she’s been PM the only thing anyone has seen of her was at the Queens funeral.
The only member of the cabinet who has been seen or heard from this year is the new Chancellor, and all he’s succeeded in doing is shafting 99% of the population in his first morning on the job and absolutely tanking the facking economy in the process.
It’s an absolute shambles of a catastrophe, they are simply not fit to govern and anyone who says otherwise is in desperate need of a lobotomy.

Facking *everyone* is putting the boot in mate.
I've just said on another thread that I cannot remember the last time (if it has ever happened) that I've heard in the same week everyone from left-wing think tanks, anti-poverty campaigners and environmental charities, to leading figures in other G7 governments, top civil servants and former chiefs of the BoE, to right wing think tanks, hedge fund managers, investment bankers and the bleeding IMF criticising a government's overarching economic strategy
Truss and Kwarteng are so out of their depth that they've made The Abyss look like a kids' facking paddling pool in their first week in their jobs

You'd think after a good 50+ years of examples showing that trickle down economics doesn't work, we'd have people stop saying "but it could".
Those at the top I understand, but how regular people are still fooled by it is beyond me.
