Kwarteng will go down as one of the (if not the) worst Chancellors in UK history.

If things keep progressing as they are, he may be one of the last.

I can see a real shitstorm on Friday, this Government will have people rioting on the street before they are through.

Threadneedle Street?

 

[lust overlord]

We're in a mess, I'm fearful for what lies ahead of us, we've got absolute charlatans running ( or not) the country, how have we allowed this to happen, how do totally un qualified idiots control the country, everything they touch turns to shit, my kids and there kids and there kids will be paying for this incompetence for years to come.

A lot of this mess has been a few years in the making.
An incompetent bunch of charlatans in charge and an electorate that had enough of experts,so were quite willing to listen to the load of bullshit.

At least the penny looks like it's finally dropped.

So where are they getting the money from if not cutting spending?

They'll do what every uk government has done .... print it (cos you cant borrow sterling off anyone other than the BoE)

Here's an explanation




Stop thinking that you run an economy like you run your own household budget .

 

[Manc in London]

This is what happens when you have a populist government, with the leader's acolytes in key positions.

Three word slogans are not effective at dealing with an economic crisis or a pandemic. Who'd a thunk it.

Which will only worsen the economic issues further, leading to vicious cycle of monetary interventions begetting instability beggeting monetary interventions, as it already has.

You cannot print your way out of hyperinflation, self-inflicted export decline, and gross fiscal mismanagement.

Can anyone help on mortgages?
I am on my 1st one, I got a 5 year fixed in March 2020, paying approx £ 650 a month with Nat West.

I get really anxious on stuff but am I right in saying I can't do anything until at least another 2 years when it comes to getting a new deal? Just don't know whether I should be doing anything now, my parents are no longer alive so I'd usually ask good old Dad for some advice. Cheers

If you can, overpay as much as you can till your fix ends, that should help offset the potential rise of your new deal. Easier said than done with all bills rising.

You can if you have a coherent trade and industrial strategy and use the money for infrastructure and development of the workforce. Which they don't and won't do.

This whole shambles is the bastard child of brexit.
A clique of ideologues and zealots who simply disregard the views and experience of experts, and plough on, caring nothing for the norms and standards of public, or political behaviour, and their consequences, promise us the earth, and simply behave as if they can do exactly what they want, in an existence totally independent of the rest of the world.
It’s just brexit rinse and repeat.
And it seems some have not learned a thing.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Governments will never have a coherent strategy of any kind if they can rely on QE to bail them out of the shit every couple of years.

Not even that will allow you to print your way out of currency devaluation and hyperinflation, as doing so only makes the issue worse.

But I agree they have none of that.

And, what’s frightening, is I think that was by design. This is the “carve up what’s left” crew coming in at the end before the collapse they know they have caused.

I saw that when it went out - was a laugh moment

[bluethrunthru]

How is she so fucking bad? Doesn't know laws that relate to her brief - and as to where the obsession comes from - is she aware of the cancers - not least lung cancers - caused by or linked with smoking tobacco? I suspect even the dregs would object to being associated with this clown

 

[bluethrunthru]

For reasons of clarity Max Moseley died last year but the IEA representative seems to think he funds Byline Times from beyond the grave - they are clearly rattled because Tufton Street is now in the crosshairs.......

Just come from a parish council meeting where we heard of another planned giant warehouse. It's very high, because that's what robotisation can allow. The developer says that's due to Brexit (automate rather than employ eastern Europeans) - but there's a delay because the electricity supply for the robots needs new substations.
