Fucked the country but made themselves twice, possibly 3 times as rich.

Listening to LBC - its a national station on digital but is heavy with London callers and these mortgage rate rises are biting very hard there - probably more so than anywhere in the country because they have heavily mortgaged and leveraged homes and high rents - none of them are satisfied with the Tory "just hold the line" message

I think this thread title needs changing from The Conservative Party/Government to just The Conservative Party with the emphasis on CON.

Considering the BoE is supposed to be independent that speech the head made smelt of being written by the treasury.

The only way to resolve this, take them out, line them up against the wall and you know the rest !

The dream for many people in this country has been to buy a house and then sit on your arse and watch as it triples and quadruples in value.

The only snag is this is unsustainable unless people's incomes also triple and quadruple.

Sooner or later there is a nasty 'correction' in the market. The problem is, it's very hard to escape the trap. You either buy and take on a mortgage (which can soar) or you private rent. In the latter case, many/most landlords have mortgages too, so they set higher and higher rents to keep up.

The absence of genuinely affordable and secure rental housing in this country is a national scandal. But neither of the three main parties has any intention of doing anything about it. Because it would lead to a fall in house prices and a large proportion of voters (especially the well off) would not like that - to say the least.

More money spent then thrown away. The UKCA mark (to replace the EU CE mark) has been scrapped. Now import standards have been kicked down the road. "Send in the clowns, they're already here".

Dowden is such an odious and dangerous **** - he would not care if people burned to death. This barge will NOT take anyone out of hotels this is for new entrants AND he says they "are building vessels like this" - they built nothing they just wasted billions of our cash on it
