The Conservative Party

Let’s start speech writing what she will say after her meeting with the OBR. I will start:-

We understand people concerns about the global pressures everyone is facing, we have made a start with reducing everyone’s energy bills from tomorrow and we have agreed with the OBR that we will produce our costed plans in November as scheduled…

who’s next?

Needs at least 3 mentions that she's "been very clear", an odious phrase which means "we've mentioned things vaguely but probably in a different context".

Also something along the lines of:
"it is very complicated given the previous Labour government's decisions and the European Union restrictions which Brexit has freed us from and we are now implementing."

No I don't think so. Probably why they dropped the Mini budget bomb when they did. Avoiding direct scrutiny an all.

I think they released it at the first chance they could to show they "were doing something".

It had to be announced in the Commons, which couldn't happen much before last week. They probably also hoped to spike the Labour conference, but the two week gap was probably convenient too.
 
Ir's not often I have to turn a programme off but QT was an exception. Paul Sculley had the nerve to suggest it was just the fuel bailout that caused the market turmoil. If that was the case why didn't it happen when it was first announced on the day the Queen died? All smoke and mirrors. The night before Chris Philp actuall had the gall to say that the BoE hadn't raised rates since the budget. He wasn't picked up on the fact that they had only raised them the day before. Apparently it's now a victory that rates are not raised more than once in a week.

Sir Clifton Tufty-Twit on Newsnight saying the other half of the story is spending plans - so will massive cuts in services stem the fears? (Sorry, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown - not seen him before, they must be scraping the barrel.) He thinks the "full picture" is what the market needs.

I thought Kazinski was even better though!
Derbyshire even said she’d cut him off because he wouldn’t answer any questions. Kept saying the tax cuts were vital to ‘stave off a recession’. He couldn't understand why helping people with their gas bill was ok and giving people tax cuts wasn’t. It’s odd that the party that is obsessed with the ‘free market’ don’t seem to have the first idea of how it works….
The one other question i hope they keep asking is about the 12 years of policies that got us here, which they’ve slavish supported to a man/woman.
