The Conservative Party

[I'm With Stupid]

Last few weeks he has been alluding to re-joining the Conservative Party and some have been suggesting standing as an MP (something he has been spectacularly poor at in the past ) and possible leader. I think things are being sounded out to see the reaction - Farage would love it

Well yeah, but the Tories have enough safe seats to be able to gift anyone they want a job as an MP. How do you think all these Eton schoolboys keep getting in?

dear oh dear - they claim the future is blue too

The big question is, how did this tofu-eating, wokey, leftie, foreigner loving Britain-hater get a job like this where can talk the country down when he wants.Typical Bank of England so-called expert!
I‘m furious as we all should be.

"Wages should go up in line with inflation"
Under this self-servatives government, since 2009 my wage has dropped by £7,000 per annum going by the Bank of England inflation calculator, so basically because of Tory policy, I have about £500 less per month to "recycle" in the local pubs, chippies, cafe's etc.
The economy can't grow when the public have no money to buy stuff.

Which is why trickle down economics does not work, poor people spend all their money, rich people hoard it.

Giving the poor a bit more goes into the economy.

That's how I understood it - housing/schools/health/shops/leisure all need to be planned properly, and preferably future-proofed (as some new towns were for sewerage, for example).

That’s just goes in rivers mate.

I learnt quotes by Galbraith by heart in the Reaganonmics 70s. "We have exchanged the certain spending of the poor for the discretionary spending of the rich".
