UK Politics Thread (Part 2)

The whole North? Been to the Lakes, Manchester, Liverpool, York, Chester, Leeds, Newcastle, (granted not Hull) etc. Dilapidated is a term for a slum in the 3rd world.

Are you kidding? You can find dilapidated areas in London, never mind the north

I think it should be neutral now that Truss and Kwarteng have been replaced and it was kind of being expected yesterday. Makes sense to give the new PM time to decide on priorities and OBR time to reflect that in their report.

The markets have already eased off a little, and we know BOE likely to be raising rates. Shouldn’t be many surprises on that front this time round.

Yep, but I don’t think he had much choice. For a lot of MPs it will have been conditional to their support.

What does Sunak think is funny? Is it all a fucking game to him?

He’s a multi millionaire. Of course it’s just a game to him.

He may just have seen no value in pursuing it anyway. It was against the manifesto commitment , offered nothing in term of energy production or revenues for government - and his leadership campaign saw him call for solar panels on buildings rather than rural areas.

It just highlights the stupidity of Truss to make it an issue and then ultimately lose her job over it.

Bloke is essentially a billionaire.

Some of his best friends are millionaires though, so it’s not like he’s out of touch

I’ll never understand how the person who has to choose between the heating or putting food on the table votes for this mob.
