In case you are wondering why we have had such a disastrous start to Baby Liz's premiership, consider her chancellor and his qualification.

He read classics and history at Trinity College, Cambridge, achieving a first - basically Greek and Roman history

He was a Kennedy Scholar for a year at Harvard University,[11][15] and then earned a PhD in economic history from the University of Cambridge in 2000, with a thesis titled Political thought of the recoinage crisis of 1695–7

So, this is he expertise and he has been put in charge of the economy.

An interesting conversation I've had with an economist friend about the situation we find ourselves in. He claimed that the Swine party is resigned to losing the next election and is on what is known in military as scorched earth policy so when Labour gets into power, in order to fix the economic problems will have to make unpopular decisions which will turn the working class against the very party which has their interest.

This did happen in 1974 when Labour won the election. They inherited one hell of an economic mess and as it that was not enough, we also had oil go up from 3 dollars a barrel to 33 dollars a barbell. Add to that the government invested heavily to drill in the North Sea and the Swinr came to power and sold it all to their buddies on the cheap.

Well well well. what do you know.

Apparently the blatant give away to the richest in the country was not wrong, just a detraction from the real issues.

Quite how they are going to achieve the type of growth they are after has not been explained as yet. We are looking forward to the OBR report which they have refused to publish. Certainly reducing top rate tax or removing wankers bonus cap will not do it either. Last time they did that they bankrupted themselves and had to be bailed out by us mortals to the tune of 500billion pounds.

Which reminds me. let me check my statements, have the buggers paid it back yet?

It's more valuable than reading erdogan in Today's Zaman and your BTEC national diploma in Brazilian waxing.

1200 will not even cover the increase in energy bills. This people have day to day existence. Cost of living is more than what they are paying too. The calculate the inflation to be 10% but some products have gone up 100%. There is nothing increased 10%. How the hell can inflation be 10%.

Krazy having delivered his speech and tanked the pound and caused 0.5% increase in interest rates during his speech, he left the parliament and went to a party to a known friend of his which shorted the pound that day and was seen drinking and smiling. You do wonder how his friend knew to short the pound right? I mean it can only be a coincidence right?

I fear for these people this winter.

4 October 1936 - how easily it is forgotten. I wonder if the Jewish people who helped block Corbyn winning remember this day.

A lesson in history indeed.

Worth a read. How the right wing blocked Corbyn from winning.

How can they get the reporting so wrong. They are not even reporting what is said.

The chancellor attempted to reassure investors by pledging to bring forward details of how he would cut debt.

He did no such thing. He said he would bring down the percentage of debt to GDP ratio. The two are not the same thing. The debt has been riding since 2010 and it started at 1 trillion and now it is over 2.6 trillion despite the fact that the Swine party keeps claiming that they have reduced debt. Like fuck. All they did for a few years was reduce the deficit which is not the same as debt. The increase of debt was reduced, it still fucking went up.

You can see it now. They are going to fiddle with the figures and claim growth where there is none and then claim they have reduced the ratio. Just like the announcement the other day first they said they had -0.1 growth and then they changed it to +0.2 and of course it is an estimate not an actual figure.

We have not had more than 1% growth on average for the last 50 years.

Talking of low tax with growth the Bahamas springs to mind and we all know how they do it right?

Talking about countries with the lowest income tax rates without mentioning the Bahamas would be a big mistake. The famous North American islands have an income tax of 0%. This is definitely great news for residents of this country. As for the economy of this country, the Bahamas have one of the best GDP scores in this region.

Just which planet is our excuse for a human being home secretary exactly? Can you imagine minister say such thing?

Ms Braverman was also openly criticised by Lord Jo Johnson, a Tory peer and younger brother of Boris, for describing the families of international students as ‘piggybacking’ on visas and not ‘contributing to growing our economy’.

It is time for an election. It is the only twat his shower will be weeded out one by each.
