Brace yourselves

Dizzy Lizzy has unpacked the 15 inch strap-on, and there won’t be a gentle finger to get you going.

Her ■■■ buddies (bankers) are getting tax cuts, so they get to keep more of their now uncapped bonuses (greeed is good).

Stamp duty to be abolished, to benefit the well off.

Don’t forget, this woman, who will make Maggie look like mother Theresa, hates you. She is on record, as despising the “lazy, workshy shirkers” , who want too many holidays, too much pay, and even get paid when they are sick…

Hang on tight , it’s going to be a bumpy 2 years.

I said exactley the same thing to my missus last week. She is my local MP, parachuted into a safe Tory seat. Dreadful woman.
All Labour has to do is keep quiet and let Truss hang herself and the next election is theirs for the taking.

If this is all true it’s an excellent opportunity for Labour to get their act together for a change, come up with some appealing policies to attract the working class back to them,.because the way they are now and the way they have been since the Blair and Brown days, bears no relavance or relation to the likes of you and me as normal working people.
At present there is no party that represents us,.so the only choice is to vote for the best of two evils or not vote at all.
As I said an excellent opportunity but my money is on them ■■■■ ing things up unfortunately.

What a desperate situation our country is in when a Labour govt’s only chance is by letting/hoping the tories dig their own grave, not as the tories are exactly strangers to this method of electoral suicide but just how many working class families are to be sacrificed to get the team of choice (not a scrap of diference between them) into number 10.

If this is where we are really at then once again it will a case of voting for what one hopes, or is told, is the least dangerous of two parties, neither of whom deserve your vote, this isn’t a democracy as such it’s deciding elections by whoever owns the media because the media decide what you will hear and what spin will be applied.

As for cutting stamp duty, they know that once the housing bubble bursts anything can happen hence desperate measures to prop it up, using taxpayer money as always which is the only income a govt has.
By cutting stamp duty it will replace the missing rungs of the housing ladder, it’s only a stop gap but just maybe it will hold the housing crash back long enough for another general election to be held.
On that subject i fully expect a general election well before the present term expires, before too many people see the full picture of what has happened to their lives freedoms and financial security.

Seriously though, several decades of betrayal by our govts of both hues have led us into the toilet and half way round the U bend, does anything seriously think either labour or the tories have any idea how to get us out of this mess without borrowing even more money (from people who have already bought the world and own too many of the world’s govts) to kick the can down the road another few years effectively flushing us through the U bend and down into the sewers.
By voting either tory or labour (or the joker libs) you will once again do the same thing whilst expecting a different result, for decades this is what the electorate have done, can so few see that repeating that same experiment once again can only result in more endless lunacy.

When by 2030, what those intent on owning and ruling the world have been openly telling you comes true, ie you will own nothing and be happy, it will be too late to vote your way out of it.

Wait, how can you be workshy and have a job at the same time…?

I’m more concerned about her giving in to the ludicrous idea of getting the gov’t into the business of paying people and businesses electricity and gas bills like WTF that’s some ■■■■■■■■, wait not even socialist countries do this. And everyone is cheering about it except no one seems to grasp the fact that this is all being done with borrowed money on which they (we) also have to pay interest - at a time when interest rates are going up. Annual interest payments on UK nat. debt are projected to reach £118 billion this year. They keep borrowing at the same pace and soon most of not all tax revenue will have to go towards paying interest, forget about principal, with not much left for the actual gov’t expenses like you know, military, police, NHS etc.

I could care less about bankers tbh, it’s all a distraction from the real issue which is unsustainable economic model (not only in the UK but EU and USA actually pretty much all over the world)

Wow I sure know a lot about economics for a simpleton truck driver, dont I :grimacing:

Stamp duty?
Will help those who “buy to let” as much it helps private buyers. It helps business more than the first time buyer at the cheaper end, who dont pay it anyway. It may even further inflate prices, as purchasers have more to spend on the house rather than tax. It certainly wont tackle the lamentable shortage of housing in the UK.
It may look good to Tory voters who think inflation is bad, but house inflation is good.

Fracking?
The science hasnt found any new evidence to suggest it is safer now than it was a couple of years ago, when [u]this governments manifesto[/u] said it wouldnt allow it. It wont come on stream for years.
It won`t alter the price of oil or gas significantly.
It will allow continued dependence on a dirty fuel source, when we have been doing fairly well in getting new technologies up and running.

The UK does have bad productivity figures. Truss is correct.
But she is wrong saying it is because of lazy workers. Investment in plant and technology increases productivity.
The UK has poor investment figures. A stable future is needed for investment Not a half arsed series of targets, with no clue at all of how to achieve them.

The Tories know they will lose the next GE.

So they will give £1 to the working class, and £2 to their mates.

Rinse out the credit card as much as they can, then slag off Labour at the next PMQs about the poor state of the economy.

Since 2008, the rich have got richer at an insane rate. Whilst austerity for everyone else, stagnation etc.

The financial ship is heading towards the rocks. This budget is opening up the throttles.
The captain and first mate are telling us we`ll just fly over them.

I know a joke about “trickle down economics”…
but 95% of you won`t get it.

I must have missed that bit…is that right?
Ah well, every cloud eh? :smiley:
Some of these ■■■■■ should learn that most benefits are meant purely to help you through until you find work, not an alternative life style on offer instead of work. :imp:

Mr Kwarteng instead concentrated on a plan to cut benefits for those who do not adequately search for work.

He said that would mean 120,000 more people on universal credit “take active steps to seek more and better-paid work, or face having their benefits reduced”.

Yes he did.
As well researched and supported as the rest of his budge…ummm…sorry…“fiscal event*”…

Why should getting the kids off to school, or looking after the elderly, get in the way of a full time job?
Pathetic skivers!
At least those who work over 15 hours a week will continue to get Gov aid. We don`t want the employers of those to have to pay more, do we?

*Sorry!:
“Budgets” are costed and researched.
“Fiscal events” are…

If I were influencing the Labour Party right now I’d be looking to convince Starmer to step down and allow a new leader to carry the fight. No matter how hamstrung the Tory’s are Labour are split between the Left and the Centrists who won’t reunite under Starmer because he’s seen as the one who shattered Corbynism.

Someone like Rachel Reeves would carry little to no stigma and would bring some of the voters back.
Without that and if Starmer stays leader then I’ll still be biting my nails come the next GE

You do realise that around 45% of those on UC are in work (working poor)

Don’t fall for the Benefit fraud bill is the cause of ills lie, it’s insignificant compared to tax evasion via off shore tax schemes etc

I still can’t quite get a handle on the situation with energy price help but the rest just seems purpose built to fill the pockets of city boys/girls, people with large amounts of cash to spend on property and small businesses who contribute Jack all anyway.

Hang on tight , it’s going to be a bumpy 2 years.

To me it looks like she is giving the private sector (job creators) as much room as they can have, so it can be free to rearrange itself quickly as the world is changing fast. From a globalised economy, to a localised one. Very soon all that “made in china” will no longer exist. If british business can have the government off their backs sucking off their profits, and financiers (banks) can actually have an incentive on financing a re-industrialization process (factories are costly to build). Maybe here Britain may have a chance to become a workshop again, if not for the world at least to flood europe with goods again, made by a highly automated industrial park (british demographics insure a very small pool of prospective low value workers), Europe’s current workshop (Ze Germans) now has to choose between lights on for the people or energy for their industrial park. With German industries going under, there is a big chance for Britain here that very few are recognising.
Britain has a navy capable of protecting oil imports form west africa or even the volatile middle east. Germany cannot even get France to agree on a gas Pipeline being built from Iberia through France and into Germany so they can ■■■■ on north africa energy and survive economically. If Britain, has the finance sector willing to fund a re introduction to manufacturing, in Britain (be it high and low end goods) and a private sector unburdened by government (during this phase) with demands for dosh and regulatory mambo jambo, you may see a new Victorian age arrise in this shores again. Again, the work shop of europe has no energy security, no navy to protect the import of energy from abroad and its neighbours are doing all they can to make the situation worse.
But if you think that re-nationalizing everything,even sun light, and have the government, with central planning a la CCP, redistributing it all using their “very efficient” horde of bureaucrats in white hall, can pass as a good idea, then I’d say you are a bit overdue for life in the soviet union.
