The Conservative Party

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

Every single time the BBC news presenters say the word inflation, they feel they need to explain "Inflation is the measure of how prices are rising". Sophie Raworth repeated it three times during the 6:00pm news. I think we have got it now.

Translation: You all need get poorer and miserable!

He’s a **** and trying to scapegoat wage rises for his failings. He’s a stooge, playing the game for the Tory cunts who have failed the majority of the country.

The Tories, the bastion of economic sense, eh?

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 years.

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

I'm amazed no-one is challenging the idea that we need to impoverish people to stop demand. But it's people with no spare money who are struggling, not those with enough money to keep spending. If you can afford a night out, are you supposed to stay at home so strapped for cash pubs and restaurants tell employees they can't have a less-than-inflation pay rise. Will the supermarkets reduce profit margins to keep prices down?

It was like pulling teeth this morning on Radio 4 - with a haulage operator: "What happens if there's a recession?" "We lose business, but we've lost business anyway. Our prices have gone up to meet the pay rises needed to keep drivers." "Why did you pay them more?" "There was a driver shortage." "Why?" "We couldn't employ staff from the EU..."

And the Tories are blaming the BoE for printing too much money during the pandemic. Didn't they print a lot to settle the markets after Truss and Kwarteng went mad?

Wonder what his pay rise was this year. Oh sorry they don’t get pay rises just bonuses for a ‘job well done’!!!

You surely aren’t that naive to not understand the correlation between inflation and interest rates in an economy that needs to service debt?

So Biden has blocked our Ben's ambitions eh? This lot are just so fucking thick they have no idea how to do politics and diplomacy. Biden was Obama's number 2 and good friend. Johnson called Obama Nigerian and against Britains interests. Wallace said we didn't lose in Afghanistan but said Biden and the Americans ran away meaning we had to leave too. They say this shit to please the gammon here but it is absorbed around the world and however much they would like Biden to be senile its clear he remembers stuff and takes action accordingly.

For a senile old man he's able to remember who's shat on him...


Come next election I could see a "leaked" photo appearing of Starmer and Reeves grinning like Cheshire cats "Having a coffee" with Blinken and Yellen.

"The US state does not influence another countries election" and all that jazz.

Ah lovely.
