Pretty damning.
Osborne invented Austerity That Didn’t Save Any Money.
But Brown DID end boom n’ bust.
Perhaps he meant drum n’ bass
Hunt has adopted Brown’s weeasel use of the word ‘Ask’.
Well boom, certainly. Welcome to the hunger games.
Bust today
Bust tomorrow
Bust forever
We’re back to managed decline in the Blair/Cameron style, and Tory MPs are sporting giant, shit eating grins and tiny little erections.
Vote Conservative for higher taxes, lower living standards, and endless hordes of Third World migration while we export your job to India.
What is the Conservative end game? Tax the economy to a standstill, extend the recession, lose power (hugely), and then carp from the opposition while Labour mucks it up even further?
Beginning to think Truss should’ve called an election, which of course they’d have spectacularly lost. We’d still have got the same bonehead policies, from the other lot, but at least the current crop of unconservative MPs would have been cleared out, and the party could have begun the process of figuring out again what the heck it’s for / alternative could arise. This lot are just extending the pain.
But at least Mrs Sunak can look forward to healthy dividends
What is the Conservative end game?
End game? You give them too much credit.
