Now is the time for the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats to get their act together.

They should agree to stand down one of their candidates if they would finish third in a constituency at the next general election.

With the Tories facing only one of the other two main parties, there could be an utter rout.

Frankly no more than they deserve with the way they have handled things in the last three and a half thirteen years.

Interest rates to 5% how the bloody hell will that help to bring down inflation?

Amended for accuracy.

Just thought the last three and a half years were so appalling that they far exceeded anything that went before. How youngsters can afford to buy their own property with interest rates rising every month and the price of basic necessities going through the roof is beyond my comprehension.

I am heading towards the dreaded four score years in age and own my own home and have a reasonable income. I am grateful that I am not starting out again after finishing my education.

Labour left a note saying there was no money left!?
That would explain the current fuck-up.
How can the tories be expected to run the country properly if there‘s no money left?
Economics is really complicated.

Raising interest is meant to “cool down” the economy which is code for making a bunch of poor people unemployed and miserable for the “greater good”.

Its traditional for each Chief Sec of the Treasury to leave such a note one the change over of Govt - its seen as an "in" joke

Keep seeing politicians and economists saying the economy is running hot and people are spending but the news is full of people using food banks unable to afford heating over winter and facing massive rent or mortgage rises - the former really do live in a different stratosphere to other humans

It’s the only line they have that’s the problem. The idea that poor people have to suffer for the greater good is ridiculous yet that’s what is being spun. I was surprised when I saw one economist on BBC calling out the ineffectiveness of raising interest rates.

well 13 increases in a row and inflation still stubbornly high - not come down in the last 2 months - makes me snort with disgust when Sunak and Hunt say they have a plan to bring inflation down and its working........ eh?

It doesn’t fucking work, especially in these circumstances. They haven’t got a clue so they’ve just said ’Fuck it! Those at the bottom can eat shit while those in the middle can pay for our fuck ups and they’ll feel a little better because at least they’re now eating shit. Us, we’re OK, we’ve got enough behind us to cope and we’ve also got the bonus of stocks and shares to look forward to’.

Fucking wankers!
