With the crash of the pound, the price of oil will increase leading to ever higher food and fuel costs, requiring the Bank of England to be required to increase the interest rates just at the time when the vast majority will be under ever increasing financial pressures.House price crash incoming
I said she won't be in post come Spring. This really is a clusterfuck of a parliament/government.F'kin wild day in the world of finance today.
The markets are in a kind of limbo state struggling to comprehend the level of incompetence.
The statement of the BoE earlier basically calling the government out for the cluster F of friday. At this rate Truss is toast - there is no way her government can carry on like this.
He wouldn’t have used Nuclear weapons though.Could have been worse.
Think about the chaos predicted by call me Dave that would have ensued had Red Ed been elected in 2015.
And can you imagine the carnage if 'crash the pound' Jezza had won in 2019.
Phew!
Dodged a couple of bullets there.
He was unbelievably incompetent as the energy minister, he did not have a fucking clue what he was talking about. How the fuck have we managed to end up with such a group of incompetents running the country.Absolute amateur hour from Kwarteng - initially disregarding the need for an OBR forecast and then having to issue his statement today, all after doubling down over the weekend.
Really is very poor and he’s showing very little understanding of how closely intertwined the fiscal and monetary policy outlooks are now. The fiscal mechanics of the APF unwind are in fact quite unstable if sentiment deteriorates sufficiently, and detailed reports of investor concerns would have been relayed to him prior to last Friday. But still they chose to pull the trigger.
What price that him, Truss and Andrew Bailey are all still in their jobs in six months’ time?
