The impact of both #Brexit and the #MiniBudget are down to a #ConservativeParty hell bent on pandering to the more extreme right-wing views, not only from within the Conservative Party itself, but a minority of wealthy elites, using 'dark money' to campaign to mislead, lie and deliberately misinform sections of the voting public.

#Brexit coupled with the #Covid pandemic proved to be the "perfect storm" that battered #Britain. Factor the #RussianUkrainianWar and the utter madness of #LizTruss #KwasiKwarteng #MiniBudget on top of that and the utter carnage for the country is all too obvious.

Financial Times video on the risks to global markets as the era of cheap money ends

"Interest rates are rising; easy money is over; the cracks are showing. UK pensions were the first big explosion. FT experts and financial industry insiders examine where the next big threats to the global financial system lie and explain why when the tide goes out, we can see who is swimming naked."

Liz Truss and I ‘got carried away’ writing mini-budget, admits Kwasi Kwarteng

It's 10 weeks tomorrow since #KwasiKwarteng delivered his and #LizTruss's #MiniBudget that blew up the #UK's credit and credibility ratings.
In the words of the #DailyTelegraph's #AllisterHeath: "the best budget I have ever heard a British Chancellor deliver, by a massive margin".
Imagine being the author of such drivel and being able still to show your face in polite company.

The delicious irony of Truss and Kwarteng's #miniBudget is that it is based on the idea of evolutionary capitalism and we must periodically suffer great catastrophy to clear out inefficient firms and institutions. But what if the inefficient institution is the British state?

Just heard #TheresaVilliers MP tell #SophieRidge that "The Conservatives are the party to trust on the #Economy".
She's asking you to forget that it was the #Conservatives who just weeks ago gave us #LizTruss and #KwasiKwarteng and their #MiniBudget that trashed the UK's credit rating and will mean higher mortgage payments for years.

Can anyone explain why pensions & benefits need to go up by inflation, and minimum wage needs to go up by inflation, but our essential public services are only being offered 50% or less inflation pay increases? #minibudget #torylies

From @premnsikka on :birdsite: :

'Autumn Statement: Some 600,000 people on universal credit will effectively be forced to work - a form of conscription on its way.

How fit are these people? What skills they have? Are they carers? What happens to the ones they care for?
This will turn nasty.'

The entire UK population, faced with today's minibudget, as Julia in 1984 -

"Sometimes...they threaten you with something, something you can't stand up to, can't even think about. And then you say, 'Don't do it to me, do it to somebody else, do it to so-and-so'. And after that, you don't feel the same towards the other person any longer"

And with that, I think I shall filter the word cuts for a few days 😔

#minibudget #cuts #Hunt

When even Andrew Bailey - Tory choice for Governor of the #BankofEngland - says the #Tory #minibudget and Brexit destroyed both the economy and our international reputation, it's time for this government to go. #GeneralELectionNow

RT @julianHjessop: FYI, I've had a closer look at the claim that Liz #Truss’s #minibudget "cost £30bn" (which must be true because it was on the front page of the Observer 😉)...
