The Conservative Party

[ZenHalfTimeCrock]

Reversed 45p cut but still borrowing to fund a 1p cut in basic rare that benefits the rich most.

And still moving ahead with "driving supply side reforms - including accelerating major infrastructure projects".

Presumably, this is to do with those charter cities or investment zones, small scale supply-side experiments that are designed to turn places like Hull into Monaco.

More complete and utter bollocks in other words.

Twats like Philp are why we are in such a mess.

Just been owned by Burley and it seems that it was him who put the proposition forward. He avoided the direct questions and you can now see why he was the one pushed forward to be the face of this stupid plan.

Vote Stupid, Get Stupid.

Get - Tories - Out!

Has the pie grown or stayed the same now? Asking for a friend in Wigan.

‘Most economic fallacies derive from…the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one can gain only at the expense of another.’ - Milton Friedman

Might as well mention that I found out yesterday that Kwarteng almost certainly attended a memorial lecture on Ayn Rand a few years ago.

This does not surprise me if the story is true. What the formidable theologian John Milbank once said about Sajid Javid would also then apply to Kwarteng:

"It is extraordinarily disturbing that any mainstream politician should express any admiration for Ayn Rand. We should be concerned that someone like Sajid Javid can now hold high office within the United Kingdom.

Rand promoted a cult of amoral selfishness and ruthlessness that is certainly not conservative in any traditional sense – certainly not Burkean, but quite emphatically Nietzschean. The cult of Ayn Rand represents exactly the point where neoliberalism tends to veer towards a particular niche corner of the Far-Right. For there is little in her outlook that would necessarily favour democracy.”

Eventually, yes.

We shouldn't lose sight of the Charter Cities plan.

I'm still not sure how real growth occurs bearing in mind: we have almost full employment but there are many vacancies. Unless there is a serious review of freedom of movement this situation can not be resolved. As the boss of a large builder stated, "you can lift planning restrictions as much as you like but if I haven't got the staff to build the houses nothing will happen". But hey all those people who voted for "B" knew full well this was going to happen!!!
