I can't see how prices can ever reduce. Russian gas accounted for 40% of EU supply, 13% of global supply, forget all the other things in this like grains, metals, oil etc which again is all impacted by the Russian influence and the war in Ukraine. Even if the Ukraine war ends we're hardly likely to suddenly start buying gas from Russia anytime soon. The Russians know this and beyond nuclear weapons it's their key lever to holding the world to ransom.

People really do think that we'll vote in a Labour government and suddenly inflation will be 0% and our £250pm bills will go back to £100pm but it's not going to happen. Nothing whatsoever is going to change, we need to bed in for the long haul because like it or not what people forget is that we're essentially at war with a major superpower.

The impact of this war is huge and even the risk of nuclear war has never been higher. We can't all sit here and moan about how expensive stuff is and just expect it to go away via a change of government.

It raises a lot of money of wealthy people who can afford it.

Right now the Nil rate band for couples passing on a house goes up to £1m. So you need a pretty stonking house before your family has to pay anything.

It’s £325k per person, but in a married couple (not sure about civil partnerships etc) both you and your spouse can pass on 325k tax free so £750k in total. There is an additional relaxation per person of £125k if you pass your house onto your grandchildren, thus making a total of £1m.

I would imagine to be in line with equality laws both same sex marriages and civil partnerships will have equal status as a marriage. It seems to apply to all rights and legal obligations.

She started off well, but answering every question by referencing the chancellor's statement is wearing a bit thin. As is her non-excuse for the PM's absence.
 
Some newspapers last week were reporting that Boris could make a comeback

They’re laughing at everyone of us and don’t give a shit that we all know that. It’s a scandal of epic proportions and I hope they’re never forgiven.

she came out whirling her bat over her head looking like she fancied a big knock this innings - instead her performance has been something like that of a dour night watchman just stalling for time.

FWIW the more this goes on I am convinced Truss is having some sort of episode or they are preparing for her to resign hence her absence
