THE SUN IGNORES TRUSS

Front page headline in the Sun is about the wife of ManC footballer Gundogan not liking the restaurants in Manchester! WTF!

Thus ignoring the Prime Minister making a speech to the Nasty Party’s conference.

The speech was of mutton dressed as lamb – same old pretending to be radical and new. Economically it was lets cut taxes (for the rich) and see the economy grow.

ASK THESE QUESTIONS- Tony Benn

What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How can we get rid of you?


Only democracy gives us that right. That is why no-one with power
likes democracy and that is why every generation must struggle to
win it and keep it; including you and me, here and now.

Or the dire state of the economy where free marketeers are decrying the market. Or that the government basically stopped King Charles going to COP27 and giving a speech (I wonder what they threatened him with?). Or how upset people are in areas identified as suitable for fracking.

WHEN DOES INCOMPETENCE BECOME CRIMINAL?

International banks have passed their comment via the tumbling value of sterling, The IMF have spoken out about the growth of inequality and the drop in productivity that results from this. Bond traders have shown their distrust of the governments economic policies by selling bonds forcing the interest rate up and nearly causing the collapse of pension funds.

House prices set to fall as mortgage offers are withdrawn.
