And in 12 years under Tory leadership, things have improved by how much?

Is it not the cost of living crisis?


Quite possibly.

Maybe what the Tories have done over the last few days warrants a name for itself that will be seen as part of the Cost of Living Crisis as a whole

‘The Great Heist’

Emptying the coffers on their way out in order to award themselves and donors huge tax cuts. However their “we’ve had enough of experts” attitude has spectacularly backfired and they’ve managed to wipe out a huge chunk of their own wealth and assets.

Yeah but Starmer drank a beer in lockdown.

Yes tories to blame but most other polictians as well. Unfortunately the debt burden that has become acceptable is now going to shark bite us on the arse. In terms of blowing money the most sensible comment I've heard is Burnham saying renaionalise the railways. Excellent and quite right but how long have we been waiting for it. Public utilities should be in public hands unfortunately all governments since the nineties have failed this and 30 years later we wonder why we have a problem.

UK debt in 2010 was 74pc of GDP

UK debt in 2022 is 100pc of GDP

I used to pour scorn on the Duty Tories on here who would turn up and defend them no matter what, now I just feel a bit sorry for them. Imagine being that deep into what is essentially now an abusive relationship that you genuinely can't see that this isn't normal, acceptable or the best you can do.

Politicians of 'all sides', even though the Tories have been in power for 12 years!

The latest iteration have abandoned the idea of cutting the deficit altogether


When the tories can no longer hide the mess they've made, the next stage is to blame someone else, however implausible it is.

It certainly warrants a name for itself. The losses so far have been orders of magnitude worse than Black Wednesday (which were £3.3BN due mostly to devaluation and about a 1/4 of it from market losses). Only if the BoE action rapidly reverses things will this not go down as one of the worse cases of economic self harm in history I’d have thought. And he couldn’t have picked a worse time to feck up, on top of the global inflationary pressures, currency devaluation and poor market performance through 2022.

It’s like cutting your arm off to stop the pain from a splinter in your thumb.
