There were doctors who once claimed smoking didn't contribute to lung cancer as well. Even Biden has out his boot up Truss's ass. The truth is trickle down economics has never worked and wasn't going to work now. Everyone agrees we need growth as it happens but doing tax cuts for the wealthy isn't the way to get there.But as the forecast from Goldman Sachs suggests - the U-turn and subsequent commitment to increasing taxes is going to reduce growth. Truss has now joined you in the Anti Growth Coalition...  |

The truth is trickle down economics has never worked and wasn't going to work now. Everyone agrees we need growth as it happens but doing tax cuts for the wealthy isn't the way to get there. Biden is a geriatric left wing fool who doesn't just hate the Tories, due to some tenuous 200+ year old link with Ireland he hates the British. Incidentally, he has an equally tenuous family link to England but never talks about it because for some reason he likes to tell the world he's Irish. Perhaps he's embarrassed about being an American? Who knows. As for tax cuts for the rich, personally I was ambivalent about it. Whether the wealthy pay 40p or 45p in the pound income tax makes not a jot of difference to anyone on the minimum wage, it's the politics of envy. And increasing corporation tax to 25% is likely to do UK Plc more harm than good. |

I agree. And as for all this bollocks about "Tax cuts for the rich", well what about the tax cuts for the rest of us?

Truss has now joined you in the Anti Growth Coalition... Wasn't growth mean to be 0.3%? If Truss was serious about getting growth, she would return us back into the single market, give us another referendum, ask for negotiations in Ukraine, buy Russian oil and Gas, sell our soul to China. |

As far as selling us to China is concerned, I think Hunt will have it covered. He has a track record of being very pro China.

If I may briefly interrupt -- Is it just me or has anybody else noticed that every time Liz is pictured leaving No.10 in that dress her tits look a bit bigger?

I think Truss went to the same doctor as Pelosi Morgan. @red Rackham These things aren't being advocated, it is the only way you are going to get growth in high inflation. Again, without sounding like a Sunak supporters given I am not as I loathe Tories, he did say sorting out inflation before tax cuts. |

Biden! - anyone who takes economic advice from a guy whose latest cunning plan is to give billions in tax rebates to the richest people on the planet is almost as senile as he is.. |

The Uk does not have a schedule of concession to operate under WTO rules. The deals the UK already have were done under the schedule held by the EU. So much as you ranted the EU did not allow deals. Some 80% of the Uk economy is the service industry. And that is only as good a s the next crash. . You are still paying for the last one. There is as massive deficit in trade. And that is why the likes of Germany do something like 4 times the amount of trade with China than the UK. And the only trade Liz Truss did out with those already dealt with by the EU. Was with Korea on a £700 million deal on life jackets and with Australia or New Zealand. I cannot recall which on beef. Which will destroy the sheep and farming industry in the UK. And I am still waiting on all those economist who agree with Truss destruction of the UK economy. Why are you so blinkered.You have been told all this before. www.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/06/from-thatcher-to-truss-the-economist-behind-new-pm-fiscal-plans-patrick-minford |

That's the trouble with old age. You see all these adverts on t.v. Fit old people smiling and playing with the kids in the park. The rest of the time they are trying to sell you funeral plans. No one tells you that you're going to spend half your life struggling to do the things you always used to enjoy doing. Still, que sera as they say and I'm glad that you're happy and coping. Long may it last. Old Red's OK. I quite like the old bastard really. We used to be very pally but he got a bit lippy one day and I slapped him, as you do. Since then we just have a friendly pop at each other now and then. There's never any malice. Yeh I can just picture the long suffering Mrs R when anybody but a Fascist Tory comes on the goggle box. As his face turns Red.. Oh dear Reds red. Foaming at the mouth. Screaming liar liar. His Missus running for the defib as his Mince and Tatties go flying all over the place. I wonder how many time his good lady has told him to get of these forums. Its very bad for him at his age... As a sapper he even thinks he was a real soldier. Oh dear how deluded can you get. . I think he really is a Lib Dem.. Like Distruss. Guffaw, Guffaw, Guffaw... www.indy100.com/politics/liz-truss-liberal-democrat-oxford |

On a serious point they are saying we aqdded £20bn to national debt though agreeing to cut taxes, imagine the markets reaction to agreeing to an early election.
We either stick with Liz and Hunt or go to the party contest runner up Sunak.
