Nobody forced us into Brexit, we walked in eyes wide shut (but people were simply fed up with EU dictates) and nobody planned in advance for Covid and its aftermath; it came as a shock to the entire world. So, much as I do not like these passing of the baton i.e. having a Prime Minister that wasn’t selected via a General Election, it is what it is. The lady thought she had to do something and she did! Ok, perhaps she should have allowed the budget review watchdog and others to have their say first – noting we already know what they would have said, from what they are saying now – and granted that perhaps removing the 45p tax was seen as her rewarding the rich – but the rich do employ others and in any case, they poor always aspire to be rich right? – whichever was you look at it, this rush by seemingly all and sundry to plunge the knife into Liz Truss and her government as if she created Brexit and Covid and the energy crisis! None of these pathetic buffoons criticising her did anything last year when the average household heating cost went from around £75 a month to a staggering £375 per month!!!
So, now she comes in and tries her hand – and yes, it may well end up being too aggressive or the wrong hand to play – but for Pete’s sake she at least pulled her thumb out and tried something! Yes, she did it to try to see if she can get popular ahead of a general election and it backfired spectacularly, but I for one still credit her for the guts in trying
The pound is currently taking an absolute beating, BUT, it is a resilient currency. It will bounce back. To try to force yet another Prime Minister out now, and what? put another one in without a general election? Come on people! Come on! Let’s stop being so frigging stupid!!!
Give the mini-budget a couple of weeks and if the pound doesn’t show any signs of recovering, then, feel free to get your daggers out. But to stab Liz in the back a day after the budget is just churlish!
Give it a rest!!!!!
