Sadly a lot of people are snobby about her, oh and she is a woman ..

Don’t be a twat. Perhaps I should say folk didn’t like Sunak because he wasn’t white eh? Daft fucking comment from you.

It goes much further back, the 2008 crash was just the coup de grâce. Our problems can be traced back as far as the 70s under Wilson and Callaghan where we failed to modernise our means of production and kowtowed to the union demands. Thatcher then systematically dismantled our manufacturing industry in favour of the financial serviced sector which makes your economy very prone to financial shocks along with the criminal sell off of our utilities.
Move along to Blair with his laissez-faire approach to spending, failing to put money away in case of further financial shocks and you end up at 2008...

At each stage there was an opportunity to do something which would have made it better in the long run for the residents of the UK but they failed.

The problem is, how I see it at least, that 2008 crash was the point of no return to anything even close how things were. People had been living for a very long time on the very edge of falling financial insecurity. It was only cushioned by cheap credits, low inflation and interest rates, cheap products from China and more or less stable energy markets. All of those things are gone now. Before that we always had highs and up, boosts and busts, but there are no more ups and boosts, we are just happy to be back to negative zero. Tories realised after Truss what's the game, some Tories at least, and that's the reason why they gave up. And then this moron turned up winning with his "the fastest growing economy in G7" and "rise in productivity" bullshit without even knowing what it means. I met the guy 10+ years ago and he seemed ok, but as a politician and the ideas he espouses right now, he is acting as a complete idiot.

What did he say that was untrue ?

Nearly everything he says isn’t true.

Bit of a jackanory poster is Hans.

This was revoked in January of this year. It's good to see you're well on top of the subject as you'd probably only get a D- if you were at Uni studying immigration!!

Well thanks for that, glad they’ve sorted it and about time, I’d be happy with a -D did you get one in diplomacy ? See @Alan Harper's Tash reply for how to make a point..

If you had to take out all of those who havent called him a twat there wouldnt be many there , even his vice president called him a nazi and various other things !

edit , trumps campaign manager has just called mandelson a moron!

I see Starmer has promised £1.6bn to local authorities to mend pot holes.

And yes Sunak did the same and his promise was £8.3 bn but that was over 11 years meaning £754m each year - none of it was actually provided before the suicidal GE was called and in any event they were never going to be in power for 11 years - another example of them saying shite with no money set aside to back it up
