Getting worse

[Mangetout]

If ever there was a time for some sort of revolution this is it. How bad does it have to get for the masses before they get off their backsides and take to the streets.

I just wish they would, it's now or never. If they don't, all is lost.

Trouble is the masses are easily conned by populist promises, they voted this gang of crooks in and will have to live with it.

Putin must be laughing his socks off.

It takes 58 - or is it 57 now - MPs.

And don't forget what I said earlier:

And my prediction - the list of candidates will include the Rt. Hon. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson

“Hasta la vista, baby.”

Ministers told to make savings as Tory anger over markets chaos grows

Ministers will be told to make efficiency savings in their departments in a bid to balance the budget, as anger among Tory MPs over last week’s mini-Budget grows.

Chris Philp, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, will write to all government departments in the coming days to demand they look for cuts in a bid to calm the markets and restore the strength of the pound.

So that will be benefits frozen, or even cut. The poor will get poorer - nice one Kwasi!

Last headline I saw last night (but it's changing every hour!), was that the Govt fully supported the mini-budget. What a bunch of self-serving *rse-lickers!! The lowly peons all suffer while they're probably raking it in from some insider trading they all planned.

Off to the tower with the lot of 'em!

Government ministers must support it under collective responsibility rules - otherwise they must resign.

Of more interest is the number of Rishi supporters and what they do. Rishi is rumoured to be boycotting the forthcoming Conservative Party Conference. How long has Kami Kwasi got before he is made the fall-guy to save Truss from a no-confidence vote?

Ah, that makes sense!

Ed Davey is calling for the Tory conference to be cancelled next week (although it would be entertaining to see!), and for Parliament to be recalled. How many recesses do these people get? It seems they're always "on recess"!
